Summer Shandy

Oh dear...sorry for lack of weekly drink suggestions...but anyway...



It's here early!

B got to try this out for the first time last year. He said he really liked it. I wasn't able to because I was pregnant, so for it to come out early was so awesome!!

It's so good. Amazingly good. I could drink this every day.

Cheers!

312

With lent in full swing, E gave up soda and chocolate...kinda hard to make drinks with out those...well soda a least.

So over the next few weeks, we will be trying new beers and writing about them. We're Miller product drinkers (B=MGD E=Miller Lite) so this is a bit out of our element, but trying new things to drink is what this blog is about.

312 - Urban Wheat Ale

312 is brewed in Chicago by Goose Island Brewery Co. B & E are definitely going to try and go on a tour this summer.

E - I'm a fan. It goes down nicely and I don't have a weird after taste like I get when I drink Miller Lite. This may be my new go to beer.

B - It's ok. I think I like drinking beer out of a glass though. It is good. I will drink it again.

*Fun Fact* Wheat beer should be drank from a tall glass:

So if you are on your way out, try a 312 tonight.

Cheers!!

Lunchbox

How 'bout a shot. I remeber doing this shot often when I first got to go to bars. I remember I really liked it, but I don't remember why I stopped.

Lunch Box
3/4 bottle beer
1 shot amaretto almond liqueur
1 oz orange juice


Fill a glass almost full with beer. Fill the rest with orange juice (careful not to fill it to the top). Then take the shot of amaretto and drop it into the cup with the beer and orange juice.

We used one of those shot cups:

B was afraid to use glass...

We used MGD for the beer because that is all we had in our house. I'm not a MGD drinker but B is.

B did not like it.

E doesn't remember it tasting like this but maybe it's because it was made with MGD not Miller Lite.

E would like to try this drink again, but the proper way to do it with a higball glass and dropping the shot glass into the beer/oj mixture.

Cheers!!!
