Re: So for my "first" beer tonight...
I had dinner at a Belgian restaurant in Halifax last night and enjoyed a beer that I discovered while in Europe, it's called Gulden Draak. It's a strong beer at 10.5% but it's very drinkable at the same time, not something you have to struggle through. And you really only need to drink a few of them before you start to feel the effects

Not really a first beer for the night, but I thought I'd share my beer bottle cap collection. Also, is a cigarette collection for all you non-smokers. (Nasty habit, I know) Both contain brands from around the world.

For me, Just some more Sam Adams Alpine Spring (on tap this time) and some fried pickles as an appetizer.

Deep fried pickles are awesome! I made a huge batch of chilli in honor of your B Day, forgot to snap some pics. Downed it all with some simple budweiser. Canadian bud though.

I wish it were hot enough today to truly appreciate this, but it's one that will definitely be kept in the fridge all Summer. Very refreshing after a day of yardwork.

Fairly interesting if you have a little time to kill.

Well Spring has sprung and the only bad part is that my allergies have my voice a little raspy. Luckily Dr. Adams has the perfect prescription. And he makes house calls...
