Beer of the Week


The beer: Mexican Lager

Brewed by: Väsen Brewing Company, Richmond, Virginia

Description (from Untappd): "This brew is light, clean, and extremely crushable from a can, but if you slow down long enough you might notice hints of citrus and maize along with the classic malty lager flavors from our traditional Mexican lager yeast. ¡Arriba, abajo, al centro y adentro! Brewed with lime peel & salt."

Would I buy it again?: Another lager, another excuse to bring out the Yuengling test. Is this beer good? Yes, I liked it. Would I buy it over a Yuengling? No, I wouldn't. It did definitely taste different, I'll give it that, and it wasn't a bad taste, that citrus and maize, but it's not enough to justify the extra money.

Want to See a Golf Ball From 15 Miles Away? Now You Can!

Courtesy of the world's biggest digital camera. It takes 3,200 megapizel images, and it's more than 2 feet across. In order to view this image in its entirety, you would require 378 4k televisions. And yet, I'm pretty sure I could still hit a golf ball far enough off line to be beyond its capability. 

Of course, this camera won't be used to take pictures of golf courses (too bad for me). Instead, it's going to South America, where it'll be mounted to a new observatory and used to conduct a 10-year survey of the universe. That's probably a bit more scientifically useful.
