Another long day at the track so this SN Festbier is extra tasty.

Henninger Lager – I haven’t seen this one around here for a long while, and then here is appears at my local bottle shop. Make that Can Shop! I looked up some beer history here, looks like Henninger is the beer equivalent of that unloved package that gets sent back and forth across the country forever – looks like it has had many owners over the years. Not really a Pils and not really a Helles, just a straight-up golden lager. Roots go back to 1655, says 1869 on the can so who knows!

Anywho, based out of Hamburg, and currently brewed by Radeberger Gruppe, Henninger Lager is a completely balanced, flavor neutral, lager. Super easy to drink, this would be a fantastic hamburger and hot dog grilling brew, it’s perfect for that. Really clean, you can knock these 4.8% ABV, 500 ml cans back about one every 3 minutes. Don’t forget the fries, you’ll need some…… Prost!

Normally not a big fan of cocktails-in-a-can, but this was a freebie from the neighbor after I helped him fix his fence. Digging holes and shoveling concrete mix.

It's a Moscow mule. Not bad, needs more vodka. And ginger beer with more bite. ;)

Relaxing out back. Listening to some Drive By Truckers. Been a nice fall day, sunny and 60.

Well I’m on the road in Texas this week, a great opportunity to discover brews we don’t see much of in Southern California.

Here’s the pride of Guatamala, plucked from the local gas station. I can see why so many are trying to get into the US - for better beer! Famosa lager is thin, does not appear to have much malt looking at the color, contains Sulfites, unreal, ABV unlisted and it tastes like Sulfur. Must be the Sulfites, eh? Who the heck knows.

This one’s a loser, sorry fellas! Back to school!
