Let me do you a favor...

This past weekend while hanging out with Liz and John  (Michael's sis and bro in law) I learned of a new beer, one that if you like beer you absolutely must try.  I have been on a beer kick since, I stopped breastfeeding and could enjoy a high gravity beer, and Michael and I started frequenting El Ray so often.  They have an extensive list and I like to try a new one everytime.  So while we were discussing beers, Liz and John mentioned strawberry beer...yes you read it right...strawberry.  Now, if it had come from anyone else i might have been skeptical, however, I trust Liz and John's taste, especially when it comes to beer!  And then they mentioned that Abita makes this product and I of course trust Abita, too.  Do not confuse Strawberry Harvest with Abita's Purple Haze (raspberry).  The strawberry beer is awesome, so go get it and try it.  And know that it is a seasonal beer.  And if you are thinking of heading to Filet and Vine- yes, they have it I have already called!  Good luck beating me there because I might just buy the store out.  (I'll be sure to put it in my trunk as my next stop will be daycare!  Below is a picture and what the Abita sight says about it.


"Strawberry Harvest Lager is a wheat beer made with real Louisiana strawberries, picked late in the season when they’re at their sweetest. This brew has earned quite a reputation in a short time, causing the brewery to up their production year after year. When this brew is found, emails and phone calls (or blogposts) fly to friends informing them of the store’s location. Strawberry Harvest is a crisp, light lager with just a hint of strawberry sweetness. It is wonderful with desserts or lighter fares such as salads and pastas. Fresh cheeses such as Burrata, chevre, Creszenza, mozzarella or Teleme pair well with Strawberry Harvest." - Abita Website
