A little late in the evening for this, but today is apparently National Lager Day in the United States. If only it could be a public holiday, then I might be able to get fully behind it.
I discovered this fact while browsing the multiple daily updates that New Orleans food critic Tom Fitzmorris writes on his website, the New Orleans Menu. One of the features is a long list of random trivia about food and drink, including today’s lager celebration.
On a sidenote, read my interview with Tom by clicking here.
The fact it’s National Lager Day also allows me to shoehorn in a reference to another former dining stranger. Brenden Kelleher runs Behind The Craft, a great website where he interviews craft brewery owners about their libations. Brendan was great company when we had dinner in Washington, DC, and he gave me an introductory lesson in how to appreciate different styles of beer. His site is well worth repeat visits.
