Happy Hour: 21st Amendment Hell or High Watermelon Wheat

Sorry if half-eaten food is kind of gross to you, but you need to see this.

It's not THAT gross. You eat food, too.

Picked up the 21st Amendment Hell or High Watermelon Wheat beer on a visit to Mission Chinese this weekend and I am here to tell you this is the feel-good hit of the summer. I am growing pretty weary of this endless-winter-snow-flurries-seeing-your-breath-at-noon nonsense, so I decided to ignore the weather and get a fruity summer beer. This definitely worked (it’s warm now), sort of like pretending to ignore boys so they’ll notice you was a very effective strategy in middle school.

Crisp, dry, and very light on the melon- this drinks like a dream and has a pretty low ABV (4.9%), so you can have more than one. I personally loathe getting a fruit beer that tastes more like Hawaiian Punch (and no disrespect to HP, but there’s a time and a place for everything), so I was pretty delighted to try this.

Also, it kept my mouth from igniting during lunch, so that was also a plus.

I looked around on the internet for where you can pick it up, but came up short, so I guess for now you can buy it on eBay by the can. Do you know where to get this? Are you into it? Into fruit beer generally? Tell me.

Where I’ve Been

Hi, buddies! You’re probably wondering where I’ve been.Image

This is me, outside the San Francisco Hall of Justice, holding the remainder of my things in the paper sack they give to people who get arrested and have their things taken away. When we were leaving San Francisco, our car was broken into, and everything (including my ID and iPad) was stolen. Somehow, they found the meth-addled crazy people who vandalized our car and managed to recover some of our things. I’m hopeful I’ll get even more back. This meant that we were delayed returning home and that everything is a little off-kilter.

The police said that getting these guys in jail would save them “thousands of man hours and tens of thousands of dollars” and that two were wanted for serial armed robbery. One detective said we were really lucky we hadn’t walked up on them because they “definitely would have stabbed us.” Downside: all my things are covered in meth.

So I need to redo my editorial calendar and get back on track with my posts. Please be patient with me! I missed you and I’m excited for us to get back in each other’s lives.
