Monday beers

Wonderful day out with Sharona today.
Had two good beers.

First was CBC Amber Weiss. Good clean and full of flavour. They do Cape Town proud with this beer.

The second was the Paulana Weiß Bier. One of my favorites, a classic German import. The hops are not overwhelming and leaves it full of flavour.

My verdict on the two: CBC wins for a cleaner taste (plus it's local). Here is to the craft!

Bastille... Obviously We're Going...

It’s The Squire’s birthday on the 2nd of January, so imagine my delight when I read that Bastille would be performing in Cape Town on the 8th of January! What impeccable timing! I snatched up two tickets and left my poor abused credit card panting – not that the R395 is steep, rather that I spend a little too liberally in general. I am now #1 sister in the entire world… I’ll be polishing that brownie badge for a while.

As you know, The Paine Kids are OBSESSED with Bastille, I’m listening to Bastille as I type, we sing to each other, quote lyrics as conversation… yes, I’m so lucky to be related to my best friend. I get to live with him too… I know how long he preens that ‘tache.

Back to the concert – they are performing at Kirstenbosch. What bliss! Vino, snacks, sun setting in the background…. I can’t wait! Squire can’t wait!

What more can I say? Only 4 months to go?
