Comments: I decided to enjoy the beautiful FL weather and a cigar after our conference activities and dinner. I headed down to the sports bar in the hotel, and much to my surprise they had 8 - 10 beers on tap. One of them was the Key West Sunset Ale (although the bartender told me it was a pale ale). When I tried it, I thought there was no way it was a pale ale, but it was enjoyable. Now that I'm back in my room, researching the beer I find that it was most probably the Sunset Ale. Much to my surprise it was another offering from the Florida Beer Co. It was really quite enjoyable. If I could find distribution in Indy, I'd probably pick up a six pack every now and then to mix it up. What better than a good cigar, a good beer and beautiful weather?

Comments: After the TB Lightning game, we decided to go get some food and one of the first places we ran into was this Hooters. I'm NOT a fan of the chain (overpriced, mediocre food) or the wings, but I wasn't in charge. I was pleasantly surprised to hear they had Yuengling on tap. I was first exposed to this beer when we were in Philadelphia for a wedding, last year. It's really a pretty good beer. I don't know that we can get it in Indy, but I'd mix in a six pack every now and then.
