The Beer Thread

Yes great but what did you listen to in the car?

When I was driving and wife in passenger seat: some of my 2021 favorites, so i can start to form my best of list.

When wife was driving and daughter in passenger seat: Taylor Swift, Lana del Rey, Dua Lipa, and a handful of other female artists. (probably a slight majority of my music was female artist as well.)

Part of me is all about an advent calendar of jelly but part of my acknowledges I don't think I'm ready for that.

Finally hit up NRG’s “new” establishment “Shelter” which is part of “Roost”, a culinary club house establishment on Cap Hill.

My friend that lives down there has been trying to get us to join him for brunch since it’s opened, but due to location and well… covid we haven’t made it. It’s an awesome place and essentially a Church Key on the other side of town. There was at least 10ish food options from multiple vendors and probably 50 beers on tap.

If this was in my back yard, I’d imagine being there multiple times a week. It’s sort of a union market style where everything is ordered via phone and it arrives at your table within minutes. Dumplings, pizza, and tacos were all delicious, the multiple beers were good with one crappy hazy by Equilibrium.

Would recommend!

a culinary club house establishment on Cap Hill.

For some reason, I read this as "culinary country club" and my mind did burst with possibilities.

this is an interesting distinction . What makes Shelter different from NRG's other beer bars is its focus on low-abv selections – up to 50% of Shelter's list clocks in below 5% abv.

I drank three pilsners, four IPAs, and one pastry stout.
