Kim Likes Beer

Although she did her best to taste the undertones of apple and berry, Kim ultimately prefers a nice cool bottle of Yuengling Lager to wine almost always. So, while tasting wine at Francis Ford Coppola's Vineyard Rosso & Bianco, we asked one of the locals to recommend a place for a casual dinner in Healdsburg. His first suggestion perked Kimmy up immediately.
He pointed us to The Bear Republic Brewery where you can get excellent, simple food and you can taste all of their micro brews for $1.25 a pop. Kim tried Special XP Pale Ale, El Oso, Racer 5 and 3R Belgian Ale.
Her favorite, oddly, was the El Oso, although she was very disdainful about fruit in her beer. Her least favorite was the Special XP Pale Ale, which also surprised me. But really, what do I know about beer? Or Kim, for that matter?
Kim also vowed to try new and different food while in California. Who would have guessed that Fish and Chips would fall under the category "new and different"?

Oh, and Obie, that green vest is mine, and yes, the red sweatshirt is Phillies Red!
