Drinks from the Weekday: June 8

Hue Beer.

The first drink of the day was a Hue Beer from Vietnam. As you can probably tell from the color, this beer is light and refreshing similar to most other Asian beers.

Drink Menu at Tanq.

Lonsdale Lemonade: Makers 46 bourbon, house made honey syrup, fresh squeezed lemon.

Next, we headed over to Tanq, which is in the Marriott Hotel in San Jose. There, I had a Lonsdale Lemonade. The lemon was the prominent flavor of the drink, but I didn't feel that there was enough honey to cut the sourness. The bourbon was good and mixed well.

Drinks from the Weekday: March 29

Drink menu at The Hedley Club.

The first drink of the night was at The Hedley Club lounge in Hotel De Anza. I had a Moscow Mule--a classic drink. At The Hedley Club lounge, it's made with Hanger One Vodka, Fever Tree ginger beer, and fresh lime; served on the rocks. The taste is smooth with a slight sweetness and ginger coming through.

The second drink was a Strongbow Cider at Trials Pub. This is one of the best tasting ciders I've tried. It's fruity and strong, but with out the strong alcohol taste. I would even say that this cider had a higher alcohol content than the Moscow Mule I had earlier in the night.

Unfortunately, I was too busy enjoying myself to remember to take pictures of the drinks I had during the night.

Drinks from last Friday

Sapporo: Standard Japanese beer. Sad to say this was the best drink of the night.

White Lady: Taste like Pocari Sweat

Hotel Bar Menu at the Fairmonte, San Jose.

Watermelon Frost: Too sweet for my taste.

The Fairmont Bar Menu has over 500 drinks. 10 through 500+ are martinis. Although with all these drinks I didn't have good luck finding one I really like yet.

I Drank That: Sam'l Smith Strawberry Fruit Ale

A very good natural strawberry flavor with no syrup or cough medicine taste. It also wasn't sweet as compared to a cider.

I Drank That: 21st Amendment Brewery Bitter American

"Extra pale ale with bold malt and hop flavors."

It definitely lives up to its name.

I Drank That: Chimay Tripel (White)

My favorite of the Chimays. Clean tasting, yet still maintaining a heavy mouthfeel like the other two.
