The Rapture
Yes, it's The Rapture.....Shiner Bock has arrived
in
Chicago.
OK, so I was going to post a blog about watching a documentary call "The God Who Wasn't There," but decided to post about Shiner Bock's arrival to Chicago. It got here on Monday, but Shiner's website has not given a list of where to get it until today. So some time this week - maybe even tonight - I will be enjoying the nectar of the gods. Oh, wait, that's Captain Morgan....;) For those of you in Chicago who have not had the pleasure of having this wonderful beer, let me just say that you might be disappointed with all of the hype that those of us who lived in Texas have given it. Not to blasphemy this beer, but don't expect some wonderful German bock beer. It is what is known as an American-style Bock beer. So it won't be as heavy. It also doesn't have that "microbrew" taste that is STILL the rage in this country. I find all microbrews taste too similar (a euphemism for they all taste the same).
So, hopefully you can enjoy a cold one with me some time!
As far as that documentary I just watched. Well, I was expecting more. It makes a good argument to start, but it just makes me think of any Michael Moore documentary or that Loose Change stuff. It was only 1 hour (really about 50 minutes), so it never got too deep. Enough of that. I'll post something more in depth later.
Marz!
