Fat Heads Baked Potato Soup
This is a picture of the empty bowl of delicious baked potato soup that I inhaled today at lunch, I wish they had it everyday!
Penn Brewery Penn Weizen
This one was very good, a cloudy, unfiltered pint hit the spot. Pittsburgh still sucks though.
From the brewer: Bavarian style wheat beer, 5% abv.
This authentic wheat beer, brewed in southern German tradition, won the silver medal in 1997 and the gold medal at the 2000 Great American Beer Festival in Denver, Colorado. Penn Weizen is top-fermented, cask conditioned, and very effervescent with a slight hint of tangy clove flavor.

North Peak Brewing Company Darkangel Cherry Porter
Traverse City, Michigan - 5% abv, 42 ibu
As a life-long Clevelander and Ohio State fan, I hate Michigan, but this beer luckily doesn't suck as bad as the university up there. I do find it amusing that the bottle is short and stubby, like most of the hosers from Michigan.
O-H!
To quote the six pack: With a rarely seen dedication to old-fashioned craftmanship, North Peak Beers are made in honor of those that came before. The pioneers! The trappers! The woodcutters! who once roamed the timberlands of the great North. These were men who ate meat from the tips of giant buck knives, who used badgers as handkerchiefs, who wouldn't hesitate to strip to the waist and wrestle even the mightiest grizzly to its hairy knees. We believe thta thees fine handmade beers would have sated the mighty thirsts of even those great men. So drink, friends. Raise your glasses and DRINK! Visit http://www.northpeakbeer.com/
Dixie Brewing Company Blackened Voodoo Lager
New Orleans, Louisiana 5%abv
I would say this beer is "The Big Easy" to drink...... I like it enough to throw some beads at it.

To quote the six pack: Founded October 31, 1907, the historic Tulane Avenue landmark houses one of the twelve remaining regional breweries in America and is, in fact, the only prevately held, family-owned regional brewery in the South. As the sole survivor of New Orleans' once flourishing beer industy, Dixie continues to ignore the speeded-up process used by most large American breweries today. Instead, the traditional slow-brewed, hands-on method is maintained in each step of our unique brewing process. Capturing the essence of our proud Southern traditions, the beers of And more than a Brewery, the Dixie Brewing Company is a tradition, a visable landmark, and it is as much a part of Louisiana culture as Mardi Gras. Creole and Cajun cooking and New Orleans Jazz.
VOODOO- By definition, a word which means to search deeply into the mysteries of the universe: in practice, it has come to have many different meanings, all mysteries, exotic, and beguiling. The brewers of Dixie, delving deeply into the mysteries of brewing and following the traditions of centuries-old European methods, have created the first all-malt beer in Dixie's history. Inspired by the great Old World beers, only the very best of five different malts were used to create the darkly rich and very malty flavor. Through extra aging time in our unique cypress tanks, we have imparted a touch of magical Louisiana spirit, and created the deep color and bewitching character of Blackened Voodoo Lager. We hope you enjoy this rich specialty handcrafted beer as much as we have enjoyed brewing it. Please let us know. Visit http://www.dixiebeer.com/
