The Life and Times of a Monkey on a Mission

Things To Do in Japan in December

Places: Odaiba Island, Tokyo - They have a rainbow bridge leading to it, it therefore has to be a magical place. Meiji Jingu Shinto Shrine - Temples and Shrines and ancient spirits - OH MY! Jigokudani Yaenkoen - A monkey park, seriously are you even surprised I have this one on here. Plus the monkeys have their own hot springs! Golden Temple of Kyoto (Kinkaku-ji) this is one of t...

Chicha Morada – Peruvian Purple Corn

Low and behold my astonishment when walking down the beverage isle of a grocery store in Lima, Peru when I found a soft drink like bottle featuring a big cartoonish picture of purple corn on it. I laughed and thought giddily to myself, "Silly humans, corn isn't purple and even if it was who would drink...corn?!?" Well I would, eventually, after being shown that there is purple corn, I mean ...

Lost Days of Rio

It's raining again, damn! It hasn't stopped raining for days. Normally this wouldn't bother me because I like the rain, especially on a warm day where even the most mature individual is tempted to jump into a puddle. Today, today is my last day in Rio de Janeiro and I'd like to say my upset stomach was over my uneasiness of leaving a place I've called home for four months or that it's because ...

The Travel Channel: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly of TV Travel

The Travel Channel is many things, but first and foremost it is a source of entertainment, not the know-it-all authority on travel. While it exposes the idea of travel and the world to many who would otherwise be content to sit in their La-Z-Boy recliner it will only give you the inspiration to get there, not the resources to explore. Alas, that will be reserved for the likes of Lonely Planet and ...

Motorcycle Mishaps or Homecoming Hindrances

The long drive home is never as exciting as the initial drive to your destination, or at least I thought. Albeit a sleepy adventure from my various vodka induced Minneapolis musings, I was ready to take on the road and head out to visit Chicago. The road however had a different plan for me that lead me away from my initial destination only to return a day later on the back of a tow truck. As I ...

New Brew Tuesday: Anchor Steam Beer

Type: Beer
Name: Anchor Brewing’s Steam Beer
Price: $1.89
Made: San Francisco, California
Alc/Vol: 4.9%

This beer was forgettable, I kind of wish I wrote down all the fine points as I was drinking it but truth be told even with my notes there wasn’t much there. I didn’t think that this was nesecarily a bad beer, but it had such a light taste with a dry finish that it left little to talk about. It was one of those beers that if someone had asked me what I thought of it after I drank it I would of given a, “Meh” response and that would have been pretty acurate.

It is an easy drinking beer that you could enjoy any time anywhere really. It has a bit of a sweet scent but doesn’t taste sweet, you know there’s hops but it isn’t bitter. I would recommend this beer for someone who is intimidated about drinking a darker toned beer after drinking pilsners.

I give this beer 2 out of 5 bananas, I wish I could speak more on this beer but it hasn’t left me much to fling about. What’s your take on this San Francisco beer, love it-hate it, let me know.

How timely, I just drank a bunch of these while in San Francisco. I would rate it a bit higher than you. It's easy to drink and reminds me of an IPA. It won't light your pants on fire with its quality, but then I wouldn't want my pants to be on fire anyway.

Really, and IPA? I didn't get that strong of a flavor out of it, but I have read elsewhere that after the first one they really start to grow on you. I do agree this wouldn't light your pants on fire, but we monkeys go with the pants optional mentality so we wouldn't be wearing them anyways hehe.
