Almost a year to the day


Almost a year to the day that we first set foot in Wynkoop in Denver, we went back to the pool hall/brewery/comedy club (yeah, they have a good thing going) to celebrate another quarter of straight A's. I checked my phone's photos from last year and they were dated 3/20/08; we went this year on 3/23/09. That was probably the last time we played pool too. Steve and I split 2-2 (but admittedly only because he scratched on the 8 ball in the last game) but we were both quite aware of how rusty we were. Also the tables are utterly felt-less and thus totally fast, as we've become used to from pool halls. I can't imagine what it's like to play on a properly felted table any more!
I did indeed try chile flavored beer as you can see from the post below, and it was delicious. If you don't believe me, here's the blurb from the Wynkoop website: "Patty's Chile Beer: A light German-style beer made with Anaheim chiles and smoked Ancho peppers. A 2006 Great American Beer Festival Bronze Medal Winner in the Fruit and Vegetable Beer category and a Wynkoop specialty." You hear that? It won a medal. So there! It warms the belly and bites the tongue just a touch more than regular beer.
My first classes of the last quarter are on Thursday...10 more weeks and 4 more chances to rock the grades, and then summer...
