Summer in a Can

Well, I know I promised a baking lesson, but that failed. I woke up this morning, with full intent on baking until it was time for work, up until I realized that I had left a good majority of bakin products at my aunts house. Hrrrumph. BUT on the other hand I said I would tell you when you need to run out to the store to buy a beer, welp I found it.
I'll start with a little history on this one.... a few weeks ago I was down in the bay area visiting the other half, Michelle Fortune, With whom I went into the city to cheer on our beloved Giants. Our first stop before the game was the bar, 21st amendment, but only after a long argument as to what that amendment stood for, but thanks to my geeky historical side (and jeopardy) I won that bet. What is the end of the prohibition. ANYYYWAYS... Back to the beer. The bartender told us about the watermelon beer they are known for, I know sounds kinda gross, actually it is delicious, and who knew they actually sell six packs of them, in cans, at the store!!! For me it's fred meyer, which carries a crazy amount of microbrews, but for reals folks, go out and try this. It's 21st Amendment brewery, and it's the Hell or High Watermelon. Sorry Oregon this one is brewed in Minnesota but it's so worth it! The best description is summer in a can, but it's a smooth wheat beer, that's slightly sweetened with watermelon, super refreshing and light. Mmmmm, not gonna lie, the perfect after work gift to myself!!






And a beautiful can to boot!!

Well, now I am off to feed my food network addiction and get inspiration for tomorrow.

Next Lesson: lemon blueberry cupcakes! Oh and I'm learning how to make my own pickles....
