Running errands with the wife on a Saturday.....

I accidentally broke my racking cane prior to bottling my latest batch of McWhale Red Ale, so the wife and I headed out to Southern Brewing & Winemaking to dash in and quickly pick up this much needed item. After locating and selecting the cane, we were walking by the bar and noted all the tasty beverages available, and we said "It would be a real shame to come all this way and not enjoy at least one tasty beverage...."  

So, we sat on down and enjoyed a beer. Michele had the SBW Milk Stout which was fermented on top of a pile of chocolate and vanilla and tasted like a delicious candy bar. I had the SBW Red IPA which was full bodied and complex. 

We were quite pleased with our decision. Since we had finished this highly important errand, we said "It would be a real shame to be this close to The Independent and not enjoy some of their tasty beverages...." So, we popped over! 

Michele went with the Unibroue Ephemere which has a strong and refreshing apple quality, while I went with the Franziskaner Dunkelweisse which is like drinking a liquid banana.

We were quite pleased with our decision. Since we had finished this highly important errand, we said "It would be a real shame to be this close to Total WIne and not purchase some of their tasty beverages...." So, we popped over!

Total Wine has arguably the best selection of beer in the Tampa Bay area. They should really consider modifying their name...



We were quite pleased with our decision. Since we had finished this highly important errand, we said "It would be a real shame to be this close to Brick House Tavern + Tap and not enjoy some of their tasty beverages...." So, we popped over!

Michele had the Sea Dog Blueberry Ale (with real blueberries in the glass) and I enjoyed the Stone Arrogant Bastard.

We were quite pleased with our decision. Since we had finished this highly important errand, we said "It would be a real shame to be this close to The Brass Tap and not enjoy some of their tasty beverages...." So, we popped over! 

The Brass Tap is an outstanding beer bar with a tremendous offering of draught and bottled beer.

Michele had the Southern Tier Creme Brule which is so delicious, I could not stop kissing her because her breath was irresistable. I enjoyed the Green Flash Double IPA and the Hofbrau Maibock. 

We were quite pleased with our decision. Since we had finished this highly important errand, we said "It would be a real shame to be this close to our house and not go home and pass out...." So, we popped home and our long day of difficult errands had come to an end!
