Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Last night I tried my very first sip of the Cooper’s Lager that I’d been brewing. It was good but a little flat. I may not have let it ferment long enough or maybe there wasn’t enough sugar in it, I’m not sure, but I have 29 more bottles that will age and I will try. Above is my reaction to the Cooper’s Lager.

Celebrate Cerveza and brew this Cinco de Mayo!

I probably should have brewed up a batch of the Coopers Mexican Cerveza because it just so happened that the beer I brewed is ready for Cinco de Mayo. Too late for that but I can always brew up a batch if I get myself the Mexican Cerveza kit, which is 20% off if you use coupon code “CERVEZA” at checkout. Coupon good till Mother’s Day.

The Scoop On House of Jerky:

After (having the privilege of) trying the House of Jerky Jr. Variety Pack which, mind you, includes 10 amazing flavors. I took the original jerky with me on my kayak trip a couple of Saturdays ago and it was delicious. I also enjoyed the black pepper beef jerky during our trip to IKEA. I can affirmatively confirm that the jerky is both delicious in taste and perfect in texture.
