I Really Love Beer

Last night we hung out at Standard here in DC. It's probably one of the best beer gardens we have, and definitely has that BK-Williamsburg vibe...although you must forgive the ridiculously large number of yuppies that hang out there.Bleh!

Full Sail Session Lagers - YUM!

At Standard they primarily serve German beers per the beer garden tradition, however, they've now introduced my dearest and most loved beer (outside of Australia's Victory Bitter) Full Sail Session Lager and Black Lager. It's literally America's best beer and hails from Oregon. Seriously, it's awesome. It's not a traditional lager by American terms, as its full-bodied, flavourful and comes in my personal favourite bottle form - the stubby (see right).

Anyway, I went a bit south of my story. So, last night we're at the beer garden for most of the evening, I'm drinking my Session Lager and literally a woman from the Full Sail Brewery comes over to our table and asks if we like the beer. I obviously, as talker and a beer lover, exclaim "It's the best!". Dana gives me her card, with introductions and told me to write her an email today for some free stuff (I secretly hope this means she's going to send me a case). Just one more reason to love them! But, that wasn't even the highlight. She then introduced us to their Head Brewer!!!! An awesome evening took a serious turn for The MOST AWESOME EVENING! Of course hanging out with my girl, Dan and Jessi the original awesome evening. :)

They're in town for Savour, so if you get a chance to hit up the beer tasting fest, I would definitely recommend giving Session a try. I think you'll be happy with what you find. And hey, if you hate it, send the beers my way as I'm happy to take them off your hands because, hey, I really love beer.
