| First Peach Ale Brown Ale/Seasonal Collection Blue Moon Brewing Co. Golden, CO I truly enjoyed this beer at Siesta Dunes on Siesta Key, FL, on 3/18/15. I purchased it at Publix. Label treasures: 5.6% ALC. BY VOL. "With one foot in winter and the other in spring, we crafted this Belgian-inspired Brown Ale with flavors of peach and coriander to complement both. It has a tart taste balanced by caramel malts for the cooler days and peach notes for the warmer ones." My thoughts: I like the concept of "one foot in winter and the other in spring..." I got my hands on this beer at exactly the right date. |

| Dos-A-Rita Lager Margarita Cerveza Dos Equis Imported from Mexico I drank this during the spring training ball game at McKechnie Field in Bradenton, FL, on 3/18/15. Messages on the can: 7.2% ALC. BY VOL. "Introducing the original Dos-A-Rita. Handcrafted in Mexico, the Dos-A-Rita combines two traditional Mexican favorites: the Margarita and Dos Equis Lager. Sweetened with 100% Agave Nectar, this great tasting blend of authentic margarita flavors and lager makes a perfectly balanced and satisfying combination. Served cold over ice, it is the perfect complement to a summer day or an interesting night." My thoughts: I broke my rules when I bought this beer. I don't have a label for my beer album. But then, rules are meant to be broken, right? |
