Happy Hour and Dessert in Capitol Hill

  Happy Hour Street Tacos with Carne Asada and a Miami Vice from Poquitos.  Poquitos is located in Capitol Hill and they're serving up authentic Mexican cuisine and cocktails. Their happy hour deal is a good one- during Ocho hour, everything on the happy hour menu is just $8! I went with a Miami Vice, a classic Pina Colada with Strawberry.

Pyramid Brewing's Apricot Ale

 I wanted to talk about beer a little. Most specifically the Apricot Ale from Pyramid Brewing Co. This fruit beer took home a bronze metal at the 2020 Best of Craft Beer Awards. It's one of Pyramid's most popular and has one many awards since it was created in 1994. Fruit beers like the Apricot Ale keep getting more popular. The Pacific Northwest offers an abundance of fresh fruit for beer making. This beer is full of apricot aromas and flavors. I prefer fruit beers, especially ones I can find locally here in Seattle. I like to pair my fruity beer with chicken dishes, such as sliders. It's also good with cheese, like cheese curds. And of course, this kind of beer is always delicious with a fruity dessert like a pie or tart. If the Apricot Ale sounds like it will whet your whistle, it's available year around in a variety of sizes.
