There is a great quote from a great bar in Brookings. “Life is too short for cheap beer!” Which I have to agree with. Although, contradictorily I have to also agree with “I fear no beer”. However, in the spirit of the former, I took up a the offer from Ben to head down to Monks bar here in Sioux Falls for a couple of drinks after work. Let me tell you, this bar is phenomenal!
Great features start with the fact it serves great beer and continues through to the point of not allowing smoking! So you can not only sit back and enjoy a premium beer after a day of work…in addition to that, you get to breathe clean air! Win - Win as far as I’m concerned! Of those fine brews they serve up to the town folk, I indulged in of course a Chimay (which I have found to be one of my favorite since my trip out to Sacramento/San Francisco) in the “Reserve” blue cap variety and also (a new favorite) a St Bernardus Abt 12. This is a great brew created on the border of France and Belgium in of course a Trappist Monastery. I don’t care what I do in my life….some day I want to take a tour of that little hole in the wall of Belgium and see what this country has hiding up it’s sleeve. Also, you really can’t help but love a country that is really there just to piss of France and Germany…now am I right, or am I right?
