What a wonderful weekend!

last weekend was perfect....let me explain....

Saturday the weather was absolutely gorgeous, so J and I walked the entire river walk.  If you have ever been to downtown San Antonio, you know just how far that is.  We started at the new part, where we did some shopping at the Pearl Brewery including picking up a set of four wine glasses for $9.95 - a steal!  Then we headed all the way downtown, where consequently, the St. Patrick's Day parade (where hundreds of gallons of green dye is dumped into the water to turn it green for the week) was happening so it was hopping!  There was green beer being served by all the bars and crazies decked out in their Irish gear, there were even quite a few bag-pipe-ist!  So that was about a 10 miles journey.

Then we went to the hockey game.  The San Antonio Rampage were losing horribly to the Manitoba Moose so we left early to go to Luminaria - an art festival that is held annually downtown.  So we get downtown and we go to sneak into a very exclusive thing - we go to launch laterns.  That's all I have to say about that because I do not want anyone to get into trouble....just check out the pictures!

SO MUCH FUN!

how was your weekend?

I can only hope it was half as wonderful as mine!

UFO Club: 38, 39 and 40! oh and 41

that's right, in this post I will hit the big four oh!  that is forty!  count 'em!

so I had beer number 38 by itself so I am pairing it with 39-41 so it won't be lonely, also because I had a comment last week from Travis to update my blog so I am giving him a little extra...haha so for you Travis...

Deschutes Mirror Pond Ale - 2 Stars

I remember that I ordered this beer because it was the Fire Sale - a pint of the night sort of sale at the Saucer that sells for $3.00.  I always try have the beer on the Fire Sale so that if it is disgusting, at least I didn't pay much for it.  This beer I remember, but not in a good way.  Like you grandma that insist on giving you a fifteen kisses every time you leave her house, this beer lingers.  Lingers in a way that you can't get the taste out of your mouth, which would be great if it was refreshing, unfortunately it is not. boo!

New Castle Brown Ale - 5 Stars

Wow!  By the name of this beer, the brown part, I would think that this would not be my cup of tea uhhh beer but it was great.  It is very light for a dark beer which is probably why I like it so much.  It does not feel heavy and like your just ate a horse after drinking it.  Definitely, would recommend this beer to someone looking to branch out of the light, pale ales but nervous about the decision.

Saint Arnold Texas Wheat - 5 Stars

This beer is YUMMY!  Plus all the bottle caps have fun little sayings on them - oh so just in case you didn't gather from the beginning of this sentence, I had this beer in a bottle.  Okay moving on, this beer taste like a pale ale and has a very light wheat flavor resulting in a very refreshing drink.  Check out my pictures of the caps - I def want to make little beer cap magnets out of these guys!  So much fun!

Paulaner Salvator - 1 Star

This beer was not so great.  I wrote that it was nutty and yucky....like a dirty stinky smelly sweaty hairy grizzly boy.  no thanks.  It also has a weird smell, so if you are a fan of smelling what you are consuming, I do not recommend taking a big whiff of this one....it will backfire!  Paulner is made in Muchen Germany, Germans love beer and drink it too strong for me I believe.  Also, don't go visit the Paulaner website....the background noise is like a waterfall, maybe a beer waterfall, but it will definitely give you the urge to go to the bathroom.  Oh and there are some fake laughs every now and then.

I know there is a weird underline in the Muchen spelling.....I was trying to do the U with the two dots over it but it underlined it.....so that's what you get folks!
