...Paul?

I hope Paul's still alive. I got a little buried in the end of the semester fun and haven't talked to him in a while, but also, he hasn't posted here recently. Weird. Paul, where are you? Are you not trying new beers? Are you saving up 21 beers and going to post them all at once, surging ahead of me (because that's how many you need to get ahead...)? Are you just letting me win until I stop drinking beer for the summer (and all alcoholic beverages, as per my contract with camp)? This is confusing.

In the meantime, I have a few new ones to report, and yet another update on my now infamous chicken beer marinade:

Pork Slap Pale Ale: As someone who is not crazy about pale ales, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this. It's very straightforward. This is also from Butternuts Brewing, who made Moo Thunder Stout that I really liked. Good beers with hilarious names in funny looking cans. Awesome!

Honey Moon Summer Ale: I quite liked this! But then again, we know I like wheat beers. You can taste the honey in this, but it's not too sweet. Refreshing and nice, just like it should be for summer.

Ithaca Apricot Wheat: I quite liked this too! My friend Gurzo got it because it's Ithaca, which is where he went to college, but it was a nice fruit beer. The apricot is obvious but not overwhelming or too sweet, over a smooth wheat beer. Paul and I often joke about fruit beers being suitable for breakfast, but I enjoyed it as a sort of evening treat while hanging out with my friend Cheryl and the aforementioned Gurzo.

Beer Marinade Update: I made the marinade with Rogue's Shakespeare Oatmeal Stout on Mothers' Day because I knew I'd enjoy the leftover beer. We baked the chicken, and apparently the marinade doesn't carry when you bake the chicken. Good to know. It smelled pretty nice though!
