BEER OF THE WEEK!!!

This weeks beer is Avery Karma.

This sexy belgian style session ale hails from the Avery brewing company of Boulder Colorado.  5.2 ABV comes out orange honey gold on draft with a sweet fruity aroma and a nice two fingers of head.  A surprising amount out flavor for a beer this mild, a hint of Apricot and orange blossom with a nice backbone of yeast and stale hops.  This a is a lovely summer sipper that I will be tracking all summer.  

I almost wish it was marketed differently because the Belgian style listing is a bit misleading, it doesn't have those huge spicy flavors I tend to associate with the big Belgians, but it isn't in the same weight class.  For the price and the potency it is a pure Karmic delight.   

Is this town too small for two greeks?

So I was walking back to Lindy's apartment the other day and outside of Kanella, Konstantinos was talking to friend and gave me a wave, so I walked over and who was he talking to but Konstandinos Kristis of the best food cart in Philly!  My two favorite Greeks in one place.  My head almost exploded.  All I am saying is that these two could open one ass kicking establishment.   

People, if you haven't been to either of these establishments, run, don't walk, and get yourself some tasty grub.  Kanella is located on the corner 10th and Spruce and the Beautiful food cart is located at 20th and Market and is open weekdays till 2:30.  And they are both BYOB.  Though if you are drinking at the food cart you might be arrested so brown bag it kids.
