Super Liquor IV

So we FINALLY made it to Super Liquor IV last Friday, en route to our first exposure to whirlyball. For the uninitiated (as we were), whirlyball is much like lacrosse or polo, but played indoors in BUMPER CARS. You play in teams of 5, with very few rules other than "keep your hands inside the cars at all times for fear of dismemberment", and each game lasts 12 minutes. At the end of 12 minutes, the teams adjourn to the waiting area to drink beer. Maybe it's just me, but this seems to be one of those 'athletic endeavors' where people really do play better after a few.

But I digress. Super Liquor IV is between points A and B, so we stopped in to fuel up. I can't begin to describe the squeal I emitted when I saw that they carry Speakeasy beers from San Francisco!!! AND a whole host of Abita beers!!! I didn't have time to check out the entire selection, only the cooler, but next time... oh yes.... time will be spent perusing the aisles. Who knows what I might find? If they carry Dixie or El Toro, M may have to carry me out on a stretcher....

I heart NOLA

I love New Orleans, that swampy, dirty, fun-loving, cocktail-swilling, fine eating town. And this article gives me yet another reason to visit again (in addition to hanging with my buddy Dale)! I'm a big Abita fan (TurboDog and Jockamo IPA in particular, and you gotta love Restoration Ale, though I can't get it in Ann Arbor), and love me some Dixie Blackened Voodoo Lager, but have not visited their breweries. Maybe this is the year?? We'll see!
