America’s Favorite Beers???

America’s Favorite Beers???

I just recently read a report about America’s top selling beers. While I expected to see “The King of Beers” on the chart, I was surprised that it wasn’t there. Neither was Miller, or Coor’s. Not even their Lite brands. That gave me a sigh of relief. American’s aren’t getting brainwashed from all those commercials. I’ll give you a run down (plus my own ramblings) on each one. As I guzzle down on some Stella’s. 10) Corona Extra. Corona? Well with their new advertising campaign. Well not new exactly, but  you know the one. Bring paradise to where you are, or something along those lines. But even before that people always loved that Mexican cervesa. Not me, nope. I always despised Corona. Never liked it. Not even with the lemon wedge sticking out of the bottle, not even with out it. I prefer other Mexican beers that are much better. Beers like Victoria, or Modelo. Now those two are what I would call cervesa. 09) Heineken. A blond beer from Amsterdam. One of the better blondes, but she ain’t got nothing on my Stella. A nice refreshing taste, but not bitter enough for me. I don’t think I’ve seen...

El Gallo Tapatio

El Gallo Tapatio

Usually, this place is the place we head to after a night out. Drunk when I stumble through the door. The same waitress, most of the time. The fare here is good, whatever you get you won’t be disappointed. I stumbled in last Sunday, without any alcohol running through my veins. Well, not a lot of it, and I can never figure out why I always need to order half the menu. Could be cause everything sounds so good, that I can’t make up my mind, so I get a little bit of everything. The meal, included tacos Al’ Pastor, a Milanesa Tostada, and a Pork Tamale. All came quickly and I was on my way home. I fumbled through the bag as I was driving home, and burned my hand twice. Everything was smoldering hot. Tacos are always authentic, having only onions and cilantro, not the bastardized way most places serve them. The tamale was a bit dry tonight, but that was the first time that happened, and I’ve been ordering them for a while now. The Tostada, was perfect. Served on Pan Bolillo, or at least I thought it was, the breaded steak was nice and juicy....

Decline In Quality?

Decline In Quality?

Things don’t taste as good as they used to. I figured it out when we recently went to a Mexican restaurant when the food there wasn’t what it was just a couple years later. Now, a couple years is a long time, but this place was known for their burritos and tacos. A decline in quality? Most people will say it’s caused by the inflation, and they’re trying to keep their prices low. I don’t buy that. Most restaurants will just raise the price instead of trying to cook with lesser quality ingredients. This isn’t just one place though, I’ve heard from people that some places around here just aren’t what they used to. A place that was famed one year ago for best Gyros in town, people say to me that it just isn’t what it was just a couple of months ago. Now, that’s good for me as I can maybe steal their customers away from them, but that’s a whole other story.

WSIDT – April 24th : Winston Churchill Is Knighted

“My religion prescribed as an absolute sacred ritual smoking cigars and drinking alcohol before, after and if need be during all meals and the intervals between them.” Winston Churchill was knighted today by Queen Elizabeth II. He did many things in his life like helping in defeating the Nazi teetotalers in World War II, served as Britain’s Prime Minister twice, Received a Nobel Prize in Literature, and the list goes on. Churchill was a grade a drunk. “There is always some alcohol in his bloodstream,” biographer William Manchester attested, “and it reaches its peak late in the evening after he has had two or three Scotches, several glasses of Champagne, at least two brandies, and a highball.” We’ll drink like Churchill today, Scotch, Champagne, Brandy, and a Highball.

Beer, A Life Saver

Beer, A Life Saver

Yes, you read that correct. There has been a new study conducted by Harvard students, (can’t get much better than that), claiming that “Men who drink 2 beers a day are less likely to die from a heart attack.” The study looked at over 2,000 men that had a heart attack between 1986 to 2000, and discovered that men who drank two alcoholic drinks each day over a long period of time were 42 percent less likely to die from heart disease. You can add that right up there with all the other good things that alcohol can do to you. And if you don’t believe us, just follow this link and get it straight from the source.
