Lucky Beer

Bought this because the name of this beer can lead to many comments, i don't know if i am even going to drink this, i just love the name. Can you get Lucky?

Hotel Beer

a beer from Austria, cheaper than Canadian beer, golden pilsner can't really see it because the hotel only gave me Styrofoam cups, a decent beer, going down smoothly

Wild Rose Taproom - my garmin got us to the gate but got us totally lost. The Wild Rose is in an old Canadian Defense base that was bought by some developer to them into condos.  after driving around having my GPS Bitch tell me the place is right there, where??? we finally gave up. As we were leaving the base we decided to give it one more try by driving back to the gate and asking the security officer for directions, turned out we need to go left instead of right. 
We got a spot in the front row and walked into a small, crowded brewpub, took a seat at a big table and started BS'ng with the brewer of the place. We had pork BBQ sandwiches with curried cole slaw which tasted better than it sounded. Ordered the cask ale, which goes on at 4pm and now it is 6:30 so i chanced it. It was the SOB, 4.1%, an english bitter with Glacier hops added to the cask. it was prety good, nothing great just a decent cask ale. I then order the Alberta Crude Oatmeal Stout, 5.5%, this beer was pretty tasty, i enjoyed it but had to drink it kind of quickly because we have to be up at 6am.

Deer Tail's Extract

saw this in an Asian market in Danbury CT and I have been wondering, WTF does this shit do? if you know, message me in Facebook with your answer,  just in case i need to pick up a case or two....

Cannery Brewing Squire Scotch Ale

6.5% 650ml bottle from the Penticon, British Columbia

Scotch ale tend to be big malty bombs in the 7-9% range while Scottish ales tend to be lower in alcohol and are categorized in Schillings, 60, 70, 80, the lower the number the lower the alcohol. This beer is more in the Scottish style. Pours an amber color with a big white head, smoky aroma with a nice malt backbone, some smoke in the flavor along with a slight hop bitterness. Not a bad beer, it drinks pretty nicely, would drink it again if i had to

The Official Burger of Deliciousness


Boogies Burger on Edmonton Trail, cheap food which i am having a hard time finding here in Calgary, order at the counter, find a seat and they will bring it to you. A thin patty burger but very good, shoestring fries that come out crispy and tasty. My little guy order the triple patty burger with Boogies Signature Red Sauce, lettuce and onions, i had the Faye Buger, single patty, bacon, fried onions and mushrooms, lettuce and tomatoes
