Burgers and Beers

Once again, I found myself in Charlotte visiting the boy and one of my daughters and her husband. We had gathered together to celebrate the Mrs. @handofzara's birthday.

We went to a place called Optimist Hall which is a hodgepodge of shops and a food court. The added bonus is a taproom operated by the Fonta Flora Brewing of Morganton, NC.

So keeping to the "code" the first brew I had was a kolsch called "Doom Tree". An interesting kolsch with a zest of lemon which made me think of a Mexican Lager. A perfect beer to go along with a cheeseburger and french fries.

The burger was awesome and need to be washed down with another beer.

I went for a light and fresh beer called Lake James Lime, with only 3.8% ABV an excellent choice to finish the day.

The beer is brewed with corn for added sweetness, and lime for a little zest and sea salt to bring out the flavor.

In case you are wondering, the Mrs. @handofzara drove home this #beersaturday as I took a well deserved nap.

Happy Birthday babe!

See y'all next #beersaturday.
