Shower Beer

I can’t believe Angie has never had a shower beer. No, not a beer shower as I’ve witnessed my friends years ago endure thanks to a shotgun beer attempt gone bad. Or a beer bong attempt gone really bad.

I mean a shower beer as in a beer in the shower. I’ve done this from time to time, starting sometime in college, probably during a Scholastica visit. It’s been awhile though, probably because my current shower is a closet-sized, shower-only, stand-up stall of a shower. Not a lot of room, not a lot of ledge space.

But yesterday – the 4th of July – in between the perfect lake/beach day with Steph and the perfect grilling/fireworks night with friends, seemed the right time to introduce this experience back into my “getting ready” routine. So I [fittingly] grabbed a Skinny Dip (which I think is a new brew from the fine folks at New Belgium), and hopped in.

I think the best thing about the Shower Beer is the temperature contrast of the icy cold beverages against the steamy humid shower. Or maybe it’s just the taste of a good beer while being naked in the shower.

I don’t know, but I think I’m definitely reintroducing this back into my weekending.

Well, duh.

Yeah, my friends and I totally knew this. Ask anyone of us and we’ll show you our scuffed up kneepads that have been worn home (or back to fight over Will’s couch) on multiple occasions:

10 Best Drinks at Twin Cities Bars

There are some interesting “I-told-you-so” type comments at this blog here, see?

“You don’t come to the Red Dragon for the food– or at least not for dinner– but the appetizers are pretty solid, if uninspired. We get the cream cheese wontons, which come with some excellently spicy mustard and some “eh” sweet and sour sauce. I’ve had the pupu platter here before and trust me: you want to steer clear of the meat. I mean, the teriyaki beef is all right, but sweet Jesus do not get the rumaki. I think that’s what it was called. Ugh.

Ed. notes: I agree with the food reviews, the apps are fine esp the cream cheese wontons and the egg rolls. The pupu platter is also fine – with the exception of the rumaki. Yikes.

But yeah – no one’s there for the food until they’ve had 1+ punch, and by then, anything greasy will suffice.

Wear your kneepads.
