Ladies enjoying coffee with b3 mugs
XOOX!  love valentine

Greetings!

 

Happy (almost) Valentine's Day, friends ... AND Chuc Mung Nam Moi! (Happy New Year, in Vietnamese). The Lunar New Year is February 19 and we're celebrating with a delicious new Vietnamese influenced sandwich (see below).

We're also sharing our take on a drink we love: Thai Iced Tea, made a little lighter with half and half instead of sweetened condensed milk, and a little less sweet. Always looking for a tasty, healthy alternative to our favorites!

 

February Beers: Florida Beers  

      

Did you know the southeast is THE fastest growing craft-beer region in the country? At least, so says Mike Halker, president of the Florida Brewers Guild, which represents 95 percent of the state's craft-beer brewers. The Florida brewery scene is BOOMING and this month we're featuring several fine Florida Beers on draft, in bottles and cans. So, come show your Florida pride. 


 

Two Henrys 7 Mile Bridge IPA - In 1905, Flagler embarked on a seemingly impossible and ridiculously difficult task -- to build a railroad line from Miami to Key West. 7 years later (minus a few millions of dollars and a few dozen lives of unfortunate laborers) Flagler prevailed. The overseas railroad became known as the 8th Wonder of the World and many remnants still stand in the Florida Keys. This courageous beer celebrates Flagler's tenacity and sheer pigheadedness in completing his goal of bringing trains to Key West. This IPA with six different hops giving a complex, robust herbal and citric hop flavor. Medium bodied with a reddish amber color. 6% ABV

 

Swamp Head Wild Nights Honey Cream Ale  - Along the rivers, in the fields, and through the forests of Florida, thousands of bees are hard at work, producing some of the sweetest honey in the world. And much of their hard work has ended up in this award-winning honey cream ale. Wild Night is light and delicate, yet bursting with flavor. Local honey is added to a traditional cream ale and a touch of hops to update this American classic. Enjoyable anytime you're thirsting for a crisp, clean beer. 21 ibu, 5.9% ABV

Wine: Trapiche

Located in Mendoza, Argentina at the foothills of the Andes Mountains, Trapiche is Argentina's largest exported premium wine brand, exporting to more than 80 countries worldwide. Throughout its history, Trapiche has understood like no other, the strength of the viticulture in Argentina and has specialized in obtaining the best from more than 1,000 hectares of its own vineyards as well as the grapes from more than 200 independent producers in the best wine growing areas of Argentina. In its wide and diverse portfolio, Trapiche offers a wine for occasion and every palate.

 

Trapiche Malbec - A rich, red-colored wine with violet hues, reminiscent of plums and cherries. Round in the mouth with a touch of truffle and vanilla.

 

Trapichie Pinot Grigio - Straw yellow in color, this wine exhibits intense citrus aromas. Fruity and mild in the palate with a balanced acidity that highlights the freshness of the wine. Elegant and minerally finish.

 

Trapiche MoscatoA sweet Moscato wine that displays fragrant aromas of orange peel, peach blossom, rose petals and fruit cocktail. It is medium-bodied with a wonderful and lively freshness.
