I got into Magic Hat while stationed in Boston. I liked #9 but only one at a time.

I was in Guatemala and they served Michalada, it is basically a bloody marry with beer instead of vodka. I didn't want to be the "ugly American" so I tried a sip of it. You know what it feels like when mile comes out of your nose? Well try that with some Tabasco and Tomato juice. By far one of...
