As we've wandered into the realm of "everyday, standby" beers. . . my go-to brews are Newcastle, Fat Tire, Dos Equis, pretty much anything by Sam Adams or Sierra Nevada, Bass -- that's after I've asked the server "what's your darkest beer" and either gotten a blank look or "IPA" LOL

We'll be heading over to the Karl Strauss restaurant to celebrate Bob's b-day this month. Piri-piri wings are his treat, mine is a nice snifter of their Wreck Alley Imperial.
