It's indeed white ale and coding season

Thursday, April 10, 2008   

In what some consider blustery & cold New England (Boston), the weather is ripening and it's now time for coding on the deck into the wee hours of the evening: deck lights burning, a warm breeze, the pristine glow of a laptop screen, your code editor of choice, the confidence of WIFI, some piped-in music, and a few bottles of white ale.

Now, around here people like to think Sam Adams (Boston Beer Company) makes good beer. You can find Sam Adams White Ale, but I honestly don't know why you would subject yourself to that kind of humiliation. It's completely unmemorable. And watery. It's not horrible, but it is a distinct waste of time.

Hoegaarden. Get some. Seriously.

You will not be sorry. You'll pay a little more, but you'll actually enjoy it. The aroma is right, the balance is quite good, the color is spot on, and you'll be able to down more than three before getting bored, like you will with Sam Adams.

“Agreed! Friends don't let friends drink bad beer and program.

Here in San Francisco, there are even a few places that you can get Hoegaarden on tap! It's one of my favorite flavors.

Happy coding!”

“Glad to hear from another fan of it.

Tapped Hoegaarden sounds so nice right about now. 4:10PM on the dial, and I am itching to get outside.

I have SRV, Live from Tokyo 8/1982, Lenny playing right now. Some froth with it would be immaculate.”
