I think you have the ratios wrong on the mimosa. With only 1/4 champagne, you may as well just drink orange juice.

Byron Bennett hitting the 45 yd field goal as time expired in the 1994 (1993 season) Orange Bowl. Would have given Tom Osborne his first NC and kicked off 4 in 5 years for Nebraska.

More honesty: Just about everything from Deschutes is fan-fucking-tastic.

As a recovering hop head, Black Butte Porter was my gateway drug to the dark side. Left Hand Milk Stout and Thin Mints is the best food pairing I've ever come across.

Damn, not distributed in my neck of the woods. Guess I'll just have to drink whatever Danner is schlepping these days. Have you tried The Calling yet?

Hamm's tastes like the can looks. Classic, smooth, blue and gold.

Amen. I'm not going to make my neighborhood dive bartender dig to the bottom of the cooler to find that six month old IPA.

It's a goldilocks beer—the sweet spot between not enough and too much. Boulevard Pale is that that way for me. I can get it anywhere in KC and know it will hit the spot without scouring the tap handles or beer list. And sometimes it's even on sale.

Most liquor stores and micro bars in Kansas City carry it.

I'm a big fan of Deschutes and generally alternate between Inversion IPA and Black Butte Porter. All of their other IPAs (especially Hop Henge and Fresh Squeezed) are excellent.

Get yourself a Two Jokers or Ginger-Lemon Radler while you can. I've yet to have better "Summer Sunday on the Patio" beers.
