NYC

New York City. WOW! You realize how small town and backward South Florida is when you visit there. Sure we've got the weather, but New York City has the balls. Had a great time. My problem is I can't stop looking up. I love architecture and being there is like pure metallic heaven. We hung out with our friend Dave and a couple of his friends at Bar-Coastal (1st & 78th). Great bar and wings. I would say they are 'bout even with Wings n Curls in Hollywood, FL (My favorite wings (Hot)). That says a lot. Tried three different beers as you can see. My favorite was the Lucky 13(Middle) Paul Rating :A. Love the logo as well. Future tattoo possibility. Next is Reuben and the Jets. Paul Rating:B. Finally was the Maximus, a bit too hoppy. Paul Rating:C. The Ken Burns documentary on NYC is calling my name.

You'd think they'd be a little nicer.

Is it just me, or does Sawgrass Mills Mall have the worst customer service you can imagine? You'd think being one of the largest tourist attractions in Florida that they could be a little more "Disney" in their approach to customer service. Whether its going to the movies or just going to buy or eat something, their lack of professionalism always comes up. South Florida is well known for its poor customer service relations and I see no near term solution in sight. Although having to spend your workday dealing with Capri-wearing European tourists might drive anyone who works there over the edge. I can understand the anger. Why do Europeans wear such tight shirts with big guts? Why don't they understand personal space??? Its puzzling..... Next time your at Sawgrass, watch out for them Europeans, and definitely watch out for the Service.

R.I.P Beer Fridge( I loved you)

Yes, my World Famous Beer Fridge has fallen by the way-side. I adopted this old hunk of a beauty from my neighbors who were putting it out for bulk pick-up. "It runs cold" they said.......Indeed, perfect for a beer fridge! But lately shes gone Arctic on me, freezing and destroying all my beer and making it impossible to keep anything in it. I probably could have fixed it, but it was leaking as well and mold was starting to accumulate on the outside of it. So, I had to let her go. But don't worry, I put her out for bulk pick up this month and someone already took it from my pile. The Beer Fridge LIVES ON !!!! I have two little mini-fridges I am going to use now for beer. It should save some space for me in my garage. R.I.P Beer Fridge, I loved you!

Kona Pipeline Porter

This beer is either a "Morning Beer " or "After diner" beer. Tastes like coffee and is very good. You don't even feel like your drinking a beer. More like a strong iced coffee. Drink it while reading the Sunday paper, it will make Local and World events seem more interesting. Paul Rating: A.

Harpoon IPA

Well made beer. Yes! Great Logo and design as well. Very good. Paul rating:A.
