There is nothing in the world quite like a nice cold beer. Sam Adams, Sierra Nevada, Peroni, there are so any good ones. I love beer when it's almost about to freeze but it's not quite there yet. You take a sip and it's the most refreshing thing in the universe. We had a talk with The Beer Bunny who's always hopping around looking for the best hoppy beers to share with you. Here are some of the Bunny's top be picks for this Summer.

Hey Nubians, 

Have You Ever Tried A Chelada?

I've always heard of the Cheleda drink but I only took about 2 sips out of one before. I've drank Bloody Mary's which are a similar drink, but the Chelada uses beer instead of Vodka. I think some of you might really enjoy that! I personally enjoy a nice, cold beer a lot more than Vodka. Casa Modelo has released it's new drink the Modelo Cheleda Tamarindo Picante for Spring/Summer and it's pretty tasty. Modelo Chelada Tamarindo Picante celebrates traditional Mexican ingredients: Chipotle Peppers and Tamarind - to offer fans of Modelo a spicy yet sweet taste which is a combination everyone enjoys. It's definitely a distinct taste worth giving a shot. Also people swear by them to cure hangovers!

A Chelada is a Mexican alcohol cocktail made with beer, lime juice, and assorted sauces, spices, and peppers. It is served in a chilled glass with Tajin or Salt on the rimm of the glass. Those are the basic ingredients which some people customize. I love that the Modelo Chelada Tamarindo Picante saves me time by selling the drink in a ready to serve can. 





Modelo Chelada Tamarindo Picante is produced with an ABV of 3.3%, and is now available at convenience stores nationwide for a suggested price of $2.99 for a 24 oz. can.

Watch this video of George and I trying the Modelo Chelada Tamarindo Picante for the first time and see what we think. It was a lot of fun making this video together and we both enjoyed the drink. 
  

Here are 3 reasons to love the Modelo Cheleda Tamarindo Picante.

1) It's Ready To Serve. No hassling in the kitchen or making a mess. Just purchase a few cans and enjoy with your friends.
2) It helps cure hangovers! People swear by Chelada's as a hangover remedy which is why it's a popular drink to have during the day.
3) It's Sweet, Spicy and Refreshing! Perfect for Spring/Summer. 

If you want to try something new pick one up at a store near you. Remember to drink responsibly!

Hey Nubians,

I've only been in love with a beer bottle and a mirror.

This weekend I purchased a bunch of cool, interesting beers. I've always enjoyed going to beer tastings but I never really blogged about it. But as I've evolved through the years, so must my blog. I'm having a lot more fun with things like this. *I'm over 21 years old and please always drink responsibly*

I've been drinking beer for a long time. You can say I've had a long history with this alcoholic beverage. My dad is Dominican and boy oh boy do they enjoy a nice cold brew. Particularly an ice cold Presidente Pilsner Beer. When I was younger my dad would let me taste his beer all the time by taking a baby sip. I guess you could say it's in my blood ha ha. As I got older, I met my best friend and she's Irish and also obsessed with beer! Follow her instagram @TheBeerBunny where she rates beers. It's hard for me to not love tasting specialty beers or craft beers when the people I love, love them too. 

I went to my local Smiths Supermarket over the weekend and picked up these bad boys. Read below to see what I thought and what I rate them. 




First Up...

Elysian Space Dust IPA
Style: Imperial IPA
Alcohol by volume (ABV): 8.20%

It's funny, this is the first one I tried and I think it ended up being my favorite of the bunch probably due to personal preference. The Elysian Space Dust IPA pours clear light gold and taste sort of rich and bittersweet. You can taste citrus, pine, and a nice hint of malt. Honestly I picked it up mainly because I wanted to try something new and the packaging caught my eye. I was pleasantly surprised and it was freaken delicious! 

Rating 4.5/5 

Squatters Hop Rising Double India Pale Ale
Style: Imperial IPA
Alcohol by volume (ABV): 9%

I almost felt like I can smell the hops more in this beer than I could taste them but I still enjoyed it overall. It did have a stronger alcohol taste to it which probably explains the 'Double IPA' title. It was very drinkable and the type of 6 pack I would pick up to hang with friends on a chill night. Nice citrus taste that didn't feel too overwhelming. 

Rating 4.2/5 


Kona Brewing Koko Brown
Style: American Brown Ale
Alcohol by volume (ABV): 5.50%

This beer had a very distinctive flavor. It has toasted coconut blended into each brew. I liked it but I would only pick up a 6 pack of this if I was going to be with people I knew loved beer and a nice brown ale. It could be a bit overwhelming for people that aren't used to exploring different tasting beer. I almost felt like I could taste some chocolate & caramel in there. It made my taste buds dance for sure and I would drink it again. 

Rating 3.9/5 


Wild Blue Premium Blueberry Lager
Style: Fruit/Vegetable Beer
Alcohol by volume (ABV): 8.00%

I must say, this may have been my first time buying a Fruit/Vegetable Beer in my own home and I think it's an acquired taste that's not for me. The Blueberry is VERY present to the point where I felt like I was almost drinking juice and it tasted too sweet for me like blueberry syrup. If you like sweet drinks, you will enjoy this for sure. It is definitely what I would consider to be the lighter side of beer. You may enjoy it for Spring/Summer. Pours out a redish color. 

Rating 2.5/5
