The Beer Allowance – February

For Christmas, one of the best gifts that I received was an extra $20 each month for beer or beers that I would normally not buy. And even though, I just came back with a ton of great Portland beer. There was one that I left behind. From….

And luckily the Sunset Beer Company had Logsdon in bottles for the first time and one on tap as well! So, I spent my $20 on this…
That would be Kili Wit. The Belgian Wit Bier with coriander and then on the side some Green Flash action with Rayon Vert which I have never had before. And that still leaves me with cash to spare. Even though I did partake of a Lagunitas IPA while I was shopping.

My Beer Allowance – December 2011

Keeping up with the craft beer world is a a fun adventure that has allowed me to meet many great people and visit some truly fun places. The downside is that it easy, too easy, to over spend. There are just too many beers and beer events to drink and attend.

It is a good problem to have. But unless you have a benefactor with deep pockets, there is always a financial wall that you run into.

Enter Christmas and my wife…..

For 2012, I get $20.00 to spend each month on those beers that I want but have left on the shelf. So, the next time that I see two bottles and would normally have only bought one. Now I can try both. Or I can take a flyer on a beer that intrigues me but that I know little about. Or I could order some off the interwebs. The possibilities are endless.

Throughout 2012, there will be posts of “allowance” beers. But if you have ideas or suggestions for beers that you would pick-up if someone handed you $20 as you walked into your beer store, then let me know. And feel free to let me know if you like any of my choices or if you think that I went off the deep end.
