There are a few sounds that grab my attention more than the “click-clack” of a woman’s heels down the sidewalk. The champagne “pop” of a big bottle bottle of Ommegang is one of them. It’s a pop of impending goodness. Get your hands on this stuff. You owe it to yourself.
Ommegang Hennepin and Abbey Ale
It’s been a little while since I’ve been able to kick back on a Sunday and enjoy a couple of tasty beverages while watching football. Given the hiatus, I departed my normal six-pack routine in favor of a couple of interesting “big boy” bottles both from Cooperstown, NY brewery – Ommegang. First up.. The Hennepin…
Ommegang Hennepin
I didn’t realize this was a pale ale. Hennepin is actually a classic Belgian “saison” beer. A “saison” is a old school pale ale from the French speaking regions of Belgium that originally had a low alcohol content. Today’s brews bolster a much higher alcohol with Hennepin pushing 8% but it didn’t wreck the flavor at all. As a matter of taste, however, this beer tastes more like a cross between Blue Moon and Hoegaarden than it does a traditional pale ale (it’s even cloudy like a wheat beer). I rarely “fruit” my beer but I tossed in a slice of lemon for shits and giggles and it actually accentuated the flavor nicely. Proof again that you shouldn’t mistake this as a traditional pale ale.
Ommegang Abbey Ale
There’s tasty goodness… and then there’s really tasty goodness. If you like the darker Duvel’s you’ll love this brew. The boys up in Cooperstown really have nailed that old world favor. Admittedly, I tagged this after (directly after) the Hennepin AND I left it in fridge a little too long. I like my beer really cold but didn’t plan on drinking this one at the near freezing point. It really should be a cool beer, not a cold beer to really be appreciated. Still, the flavor carried well and it was an enjoyable brew to the end.
I’m thinking about a sequel to the Blake Lively movie I’m going to make (it’s gonna happen… oh yeah, it’s gonna happen). It’s called Motorboat – Attack of the Twins. It’s kinda like Star Wars – Attack of the Clones except instead of a whole epic, sci-fi fantasy war with clones, it’s just Blake Lively running topless on the beach. Yeah.. that’s pretty much all I got.
Ooooooooh boy. One of my favorites email services of all time actually coming back on online - The Daily Muse byViva la Flaca! VLF is a daily email that delivers smoking hot, scantily clad fashion models to your inbox. Brilliant! The site went dark over the summer and I thought it was actually dead… but it’s baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! Check it.
I just hurt myself.
Now, the service itself isn’t as smutty as I make it out to be. It’s actually a pretty stand up site “committed to the support and promotion of women through art”. The site promotes the models as well as the photographers that took that shots and allows artists up submit their own photos for consideration in the site. Granted, 99% of the photos are nudes or semi-nudes but most of the shots are pretty classy.
Yep. Right to your inbox. Every day. It's goodness.
In case you were wondering, Viva la Flaca literally means “long live the skinny” which I also find hilarious as I myself have been a big fan of the skinny for a long time. Who isn’t, really?
Very few people make it to my “hero list”, so I’m sure you’re wondering to yourself, “I wonder why he picked her?” Well, turns out that Ms. Finklestein was so hard up for World Series tickets she offered up a little afternoon delight in exchange for tickets. Susan posted an ad on Craigslist in which she described herself as a “gorgeous, tall, buxom blonde diehard Phillies fan”. The ad continued, “I’m the creative type! Maybe we can help each other!” Sounds good to me!
I'd bang her... if I didn't have a really hot girlfriend that reads all my posts.
However, apparently her creative offerings included a BJ to an undercover police officer. Ms. Finklestein (I just love saying her last name) was arrested and booked by her local Bensalem, Pa police department for prostitution. That can really only mean one of two things, Bensalem cops REALLY have nothing better to do OR (more than likely) she probably laughed at their small penis’, hence the charges. Actually, I just took a quick visit to the Bensalem, PA police department web site. What a bunch of tools. Their homepage features pictures of cops doing all sorts of acrobatics on their motorcycles. You know, the kind that kids do illegally and end up smashing their skulls to consistency of oatmeal? Yeah. Those. Great role models you D-bags.
I mean seriously, my girlfriend coaxes all sorts shit outta me in exchange for sex… is that prostitution? Consenting adults should be allowed to bang for pretty much any agreed upon reason including monetary. I’m just sayin.
