I think it would be cheaper to just send you a couple cans.

Saturday morning: 30A at the Margaritaville outdoor bar. Saturday night: Funky Buddha More Moro Blood Orange IPA and Good People IPA at Fishale. Sunday afternoon: Cigar City Jai Alai IPA at Little Village.

Lagunitas IPA, $28 a case at Costco.

Good stuff.

Tried this today; not a beer, but pretty tasty on a hot afternoon at the pool. Malt beverage, but tastes like tart, fizzy lemonade. $4 for a four pack at the store next door to my hotel.

I'm having an Abita Double IPA right now. Doesn't taste at all like 8.5% and pretty good, might pick up another couple. $4.50 at Costco for a bomber.

Though it does make me long for when I lived in New Orleans and Abita would have pub crawls in rotating parts of the city to kick off their seasonals and you could get a 12 oz draft for $1.

I tempted fate Monday night and fate kicked me in the butt. I went to Nivol, the local brewery. I had been warned that the vanilla porter used lactose, of which I am intolerant, as a sweetener. I ordered it anyway. On the way home, I stopped at Major's Smokehouse for a barbeque plate. In addition to the pulled pork, with extra hot barbeque sauce, I ordered the hot beans and hot hot hot (one hot didn't seem sufficient) slaw. I think the slaw was 50% tabasco sauce. Anyway I woke up at 11:00 with my guts on fire. And truth be told, the vanilla porter wasn't that special.

BamaVol Jr #1 is doing a Colorado brewery (and other stuff) tour this week. So far he has texted me from New Belgium, Oskar Blues and the Rockies-Yankees game. He has a lot of catching up to do after 3-4 hours with nothing but Blue Moon and Coors Light at the stadium. Oh, he also texted me while he was buying marijuana.

Probably it's more than that. He's texted me from two. This is a boy (he's 35) who could hit 6 wineries in a day when he honeymooned in Napa.

Send him up this way. I'd love to see if we can do the Ale Trail in a day!

I had an update last night. They visited a winery and several tap rooms. Which I think may be a better way to go. There are still more breweries on the agenda but the tap room gambit allows them to taste more different beers and breweries without losing time driving in between. He and his wife and her brother hit the bourbon trail last year and I think the strategy of sobering up between distilleries is not a sound one.

Speaking of which, the link in my signature is to the ninth iteration of the LEX Horse and Bourbon DO, in October.

Great fun if you like either.

One of these years, I'll make it to that.
