My buddy @stesla and I had some bro time tonight. Meeting up after work for a beer at 21st Amendment. We settled for a single glass each as we were on your way into the Mission for food.

I had the Imperial Jack (Big ESB. malty with a hoppy edge: 8.7% abv / 45 IBUs). This is one nice ESB.

@tesla had the Blind Lust (Belgian Strong w/oak aged framboise: 9.5% abv / 35 IBUs). I had this the other night. It has a lovely flavor and slightly amber color.

After beer we hopped the #12 into the Mission and dropped into Taqueria Guadalajara for a Super Carnitas Burrito. Seriously one of the tastiest Carnitas Burritos I’ve had in the Bay Area. I’ve been told the taco truck at our corner is good as well, but I have yet to check that.

Then it was over to Humphry Slocombe for ice cream where I had the Pepper-Mint and the Beer-week “Napa Smith Bon Fire Imperial Porter”. Unlike the beer ice cream I had on Sunday, I liked this one. It wasn’t noticably yeasty or hoppy, but was pleasantly malty.

Oh Beer, lovely beer.

Yes, I’m writing with with a bit of a buzz on. I spent some time at 21st Amendment with @stesla this evening enjoying their “strong beer month” offerings.

We both started with Two Lane Blacktop. Very dark, malty, hoppy IPA. Lots of body, nice dark color and intense hopiness.

@stesla went on to the Lower De Boom Barley Wine, which all he can manage now is “it was delicious”.

I had the Imperial Jack – Big ESB. (which @stesla finished with). Brilliant. Lovely bitterness. I loves me an ESB.

I finished up with a Blind Lust – Belgian Strong w/oak aged framboise. This was really nice. Beautiful color and lovely flavor.

So get to 21A and have some yummy beer!
