Of beer and summer
It's not the quantity of beer that she's drinking every night that got my attention. It's the quality. Bud Ice Light? Ugh. It's been a long time since I drank beer nightly, but ever since I've been old enough to not be picky about what I drink. (Face it, when you're under 21, sometimes you just drink what's available.)
The summer brews are coming out, and I'm delighted. St. Arnold's Lawnmower Ale is the local favorite around these parts, but with the reemergence of Celis Pale Bock, I think this summer I'll be ordering that the most at the Ice House. Sierra Nevada's summerfest is pretty good, and the standard Shiner Bock will always be on the rotation, as will St. Arnold's Amber Ale.
Summer has officially hit Houston. I was in the park at 6:20 this morning, and the humidity was unbelievable. Probably was already eighty five degrees at that point. When I got home the sun was fully up and doing it's thing. We've had practically no rain in the month of May, and my water bill is going to be huge this month. I get the feeling that it's not going to be nearly as nice of a summer as last year. Every year I convince myself that it's not that bad, but this year looks like it's going to be that bad. Those of you with temperatures below 85, rejoice and be thankful.
