Euro Beer #35: Dinner In

In the fall of 2007 (yeah, I know, OVER 5 years ago, but I am not ending this series until ENDS) my wife and I traveled through Europe for 10 weeks. We ate a lot of food and drank of a lot of beer (and wine). Not enough food, not enough beer. In Annecy still, let's hurry this up and get onto Italy: 

 I guess if I am gonna stay up late procrastinating I better at least blog. After our long ride around the lake we decided to relax at our host's place and make dinner. I don't know what these drinks were. I think rum and pineapple juice.

 And we made some "Indian" cuisine.

Euro Beer #34: La Closerie

In the fall of 2007 (yeah, I know, OVER 5 years ago, but I am not ending this series until ENDS) my wife and I traveled through Europe for 10 weeks. We ate a lot of food and drank of a lot of beer (and wine). Not enough food, not enough beer. In Annecy still, let's hurry this up and get onto Italy: 

 On one of our last days in Annecy we took a ride around the lake.

 
Saw the sites. Le Brooklyn. 


We made a lot of stops. Coffee. Treats. Casino. You name it.

 
We rode through this. I think. I have no memory of this.

 We stopped here for lunch. After we finished eating we realized we had no cash. The town was dead (off season) and we were extremely lucky to find an ATM near by. We were seconds from skipping out...

 The beer was mediocre.

 But the sandwiches were fantastic.
 
 So euro.

Euro Beer #33: Jazz Club

In the fall of 2007 (yeah, I know, OVER 5 years ago, but I am not ending this series until ENDS) my wife and I traveled through Europe for 10 weeks. We ate a lot of food and drank of a lot of beer (and wine). Not enough food, not enough beer. In Annecy still, let's hurry this up and get onto Italy: 


 We went to go see some jazz one night and I drank a Heineken. Sofia had nothing. It was really dark.

Euro Beer #32: Bar Le Repaire

In the fall of 2007 (yeah, I know, OVER 5 years ago, but I am not ending this series until ENDS) my wife and I traveled through Europe for 10 weeks. We ate a lot of food and drank of a lot of beer (and wine). Not enough food, not enough beer. In Annecy still, let's hurry this up and get onto Italy: 


Red wine for Sofia and I had an Affligem. They were both fine. I mean, how good could they be? But they did the trick.


And then I went skating. I sucked, but at least the scenery was pretty.


Literally across the street from the skatepark. Annecy wins, yr shitty town loses.

This is so stupid


Vinnie said it, it's gotta be right. I'm too lazy to explain why I think it's stupid. This is a blog, we are supposed to be lazy and unprofessional. Not enough for you here? Go read about butt chugging.

Austin Beer Week: The Worst 5!

Austin Beer Week


It's the third day of the third year of Austin Beer Week. Lots of good stuff going on, like yesterday's ABG Bike Pub Crawl. It was amazing and hopefully you did not miss it. But there is also some bad stuff. Let's keep it special folks. Try, a little bit.

Whoah, $1 off beers. Get there before 7 though. After that you will have to shell out the big bucks. Uncle Billy's has great beers, but this is hardly worthy enough to make the calender. Don't worry if you miss it, they are doing it again the 25th. And every week till the end of time.

4. Never mind, this is a stupid list. Go to what you want. You already missed the bike pub crawl, so your week is ruined.
