Random Sips in the DSM

Left, Found this Bromper hazy New England-style IPA from Fox Brewing at El Bait Shop. Nil bitterness, a good ‘temperate summer’ brew. 5.4% ABV. Right, East Side Attitude from Confluence Brewing is a malty quaff upfront with a wee bit of hops and caramel on the back end; sweet is soon replaced with carbonation after a few mouthfuls. 5.9% ABV, 29 IBU.

Left, Shot glasses this size saddens me. It kills any incentive to offer an added dollop beyond the literal measure. In these times we all need that lagniappe to get us through to the next moment. Dehner Distillery of Clive offers a superior trio of value-priced clear spirits, center, that piques my interest in all their products. I purchased these from the Southridge Hy-Vee. Right, Down with Mr. Brown iced coffee from New Oriental Food Store in the East Village. Six flavors to choose from!
