Live Music and Not Much Else

Today I did very little. In fact I am not sure what I did all day. Hopefully I made the most of not having any commitments, work, assignments or anything else on and just enjoyed doing nothing.

When Brooke and Tristan got home from work we cracked open the Bourbon aged Nightsail dark ale I bought from Island brewery:

The beer won silver at some big beer awards recently. It was one of the more interesting beers I have drunk. The black ale is actually quite like an IPA with a lot of malty tones but there was a somewhat hilarious bourbon kick to it. The after taste was pretty much the same as if you had just done a shot of Jim Beam. I don't how it was only 7.2% alc! All in all it was pretty good. By the way, I have actually drunk some rubbish beers but obviously I don't write about them.

For dinner we had fish tacos and some other mexican food from a place called Wahoo and then went next door to the "James Joyce Bar", an irish pub where you eat peanuts and chuck the husks on the ground. So yes: there are peanut husks all over the floor. Very strange, I'm not sure if that's common or not. The band that was playing was pretty damn awesome for a free pub gig. They mostly played originals which was cool.
