Suck numero seis

In this week’s show the agenda was originally for me and Dawg to try tequilas and tell you about them. Life happens and neither of us felt like going to buy a bunch of alcohol to get drunk during a weeknight and Dawg is on call this week so it’d really be bad form to answer the phone “TEQUILA!” if work called, so at the last minute I decided we’d discuss road trips!

Route 66

• The Mother Road: Historic Route 66
• General Route 66 travel information
• Route 66 trip planner
• Beer along Route 66

Santa Fe Trail

• The scenic Santa Fe Trail drive
• All there is to do along the Santa Fe Trail

Other New Mexico Scenic Drives are recommended here.

Drinks of the week

Alcohol-laden: Route 66

* 1 part Absinthe
* 1 part Irish Cream (Bailey’s)
* 1 part Kahlua
* 1 pinch Cinnamon

In a shot glass: Layer Kahlua, Bailey’s and then absinthe. Light on fire, and then sprinkle cinnamon over the top (it will flame and sparkle, about 1/2 meter in height). Blow out and then drink though a straw.

Non-alcoholic suggestion: Route 66 root beer

And also, the most important decision of all: BEERHER. Ok, so nothing is there quite yet, but the night before TequilaCon prepare to get your BEER on. We will find a nice spot in or around Santa Fe Brewing Company and drink a bunch of beer. Bikinis are optional. More details to come!

Santa Fe Brewing Company

No city can be complete without it’s own micro brewery these days. The current incarnation of the Santa Fe Brewing Company was established in 1988 using equipment from a defunct brewery. The brewery is located at 35 Fire Place Santa Fe, NM 87508 and is open for tours at noon on Saturday, followed by a tasting of their beers for those of us over the ripe old age of 21. Additionally the brewery has an pub and grill adjoining it where you can get breakfast, lunch, and dinner seven days a week from 7:00am to 10:00pm.

What truly endeared my to this brewery was their special brew known as Chicken Killer Barley Wine. With a 10.0 Alcohol, this brew is temptation in a bottle waiting to be guzzled. What really intrigues me about it is that it is billed as a Barley Wine. I have never had the chance to partake in such a beverage, but I am more than eager to try it. Besides, with a name like Chicken Killer, how can you go wrong?

Going through the menu of the adjoining Pub & Grill I found the items on there to be extremely reasonably priced. No item was listed in the double digits with the highest priced item being a $7.50 base going to $9.00 with extras added on. You could easily get an appetizer, sandwich, and beer for under $20. The Pub & Grill has a pretty nice looking set-up with a game room, pool table, foosball, and outdoor patio. They also tout a large dining room able to accommodate groups. Live music events seem to happen there quite often, and on the evening of April 25 they will be having PO’ Girl performing there live with a $25.00 ticket price.

Although the hours do seem to close a little early for the usual late night taste… it can definitely be an option for a breakfast, lunch, or recreational Saturday afternoon as well.
