dudes! i'm off to mexico to drink cerveza for a coupla weeks catch you in february! p.s. no one else from my house is leaving, so like don't even think about chiding me for announcing publicly that i won't be home!!

i leave for mexico in nine days' time this is very exciting for me i have not been finding much time to keep this blog current hopefully after three weeks in the sun i will be recharged and return with new vigour to blog, blog, blog! my goal for this year's trip is to find all the beers below and try them! not just take a photo of them like i did last year!

just randomly walking down 2nd street on my way between the bart from the airport and 21st amendment brewery as in very shortly after arriving in san francisco on a thursday afternoon i passed an indian restaurant whose curtain protecting their beer stock had fallen i was stopped in my tracks checking out the beers they had on offer and i was impressed: delerium tremens shipyard ipa kingfisher taj flying horse duvel please excuse the intense glare in the photo, it was the best i could do in the circumstances! go figure! i felt like this was a very good sign of the beer delights in store for me for the rest of my beer vacation in san francisco!

back from my san francisco mini vacation not too sure what the overarching theme was though i went down for pride but at least half of my photos are beer related... and i just gotta say the weather was very welcoming there not like the suckage i have returned to in vancouver...

so long, farewell i'm off to san francisco for the weekend! catch ya next week

okay, i totally want to do this!! what a perfect combination:  ninkasi beer and river-rafting i really need to win that lottery so i can ditch the day job and just have beer vacation after beer vacation!
