Rainy Saturday

It’s been raining most of the day today.  Luckily Laurie and I got out during a brief break in the weather.  So what did we do with our precious 3 hours???  Beer of course!

Like Oak Brewery, a small local brewery in East Austin, was having its 13th anniversary party.  They had free beer, free vegetarian  food, and plenty of people watching.

I had ice cream from Nada Moo, which is a local dairy-free ice cream company, and vegetarian fajitas from White Mountain.  The “meat” was made by combining wheat gluten and peanut butter and frying it up with peppers and onions.  It looked like marinated tofu slices and tasted like a soy product.  Not too bad for freebies.

The beer was good too.  Live Oak offered a Hefeweizen, a Pilsner, an Amber Lager, and an IPA.  The Amber Lager was my favorite, although I didn’t try the Hefeweizen.  As an amateur brewer, I was hoping to see their operation…no such luck.

Our friend Chris and his dad met up with us a little later.  The sun came out for a brief while too!  All in all, not a bad Saturday afternoon.
