I stopped by Flying Saucer yesterday and had a Hi-Wire Vietnamese coffee beer.
At 8% ABV, it’s a beer that packs a punch.
While at the Saucer, I got the schedule for Belgian Beer Week next week.
There’s a beer on the Saucer’s Just Landed board called Tripping Animals Hop & The Penguins. Sounds like the name of a British Invasion band from 1966. A band that would’ve fit in with the Beatles’ “Strawberry Fields”/“Penny Lane” era and Pink Floyd during the Syd years.
KIX 106 Country on Beale returns tonight with Elvie Shane and Kylie Morgan. Free all-ages show in Handy Park. 7:30.
