Happy 4th of July

Now that I have exercised my right to free speech, all I can say is be safe out there.

Beer and Fireworks can be fun but take care. I do not want to read about some dude blowing off a thumb tomorrow. And if you have to celebrate our independence with a lot of beer then understand that many people are doing that exact same thing which means even more and worse drivers out there and even more police out there ready to ticket.  Call a cab or designate a DD please.

…and if you can get your hands on one of these two patriotic brews, then celebrate Founding Father’s style…

Review – Prairie Artisan Ales ‘Merica

IMG_6247

Damn.  This is mega funky.  And just when you think the funk aroma is done, in wafts more farmhouse.  Pours a hazy orange juice color.  I get a touch of the Nelson but the crazy funk from the yeast is the star of this show and I like it.  And the funk just doesn’t die down.  It teeters really close to cat pee territory without tipping over.  Just when I think it has gone over the line it pulls back just a skosh.

And boy is this label a trip.  Laser Cats. Weird Fish.  Bicycles and tailgating and so much more.  I would love to see a “patriotic” Bud drinker pick up Merica and think it was some peon to “real America” and then getting a pure blast of funk.

On the non-beer side of the ledger, I drank this beer while watching World War Z.  Now I read the book and really enjoyed it.  The movie is not the book in any way shape or form.  But I enjoyed the movie too.  Crazy cool Zombies and an ambiguous ending to boot.  Plus it had the 12th Doctor in it!
