More Than Stores - Golden Saddle Cyclery

GSC seems like a rad shop, and this video is cool, but my favorite thing about this is that Kyle is wearing the barn quilt patch on his hat that Tobie and I worked on for North Central Cyclery. It's really neat to see one of those patches out there in use.

New GSC Kits

I've always been a fan of the GOlden Saddle Cyclery kits, and these new ones are just as neat, if not NEATER.

Cascara Quad

I was browsing the local store a few nights ago, searching for a tasty treat to sip on. This ale from New Belgium's "Lips of Faith" series caught my eye, partially due to the fact that the design on the bottle reminded me a bit of my favorite Golden Saddle Cyclery cap (pictured in the background). It's an ale brewed with dates and coffee cherries, which I thought sounded great. It poured it into my favorite Michelin glass with a strong aroma and a hazy deep red/brown color. It tasted of dark fruits and a bit of coffee with a hint of alcohol. I certainly wouldn't call myself a beer "expert", but I really enjoyed the Cascara Quad, and will find it difficult to part with the neat-looking empty bottle.
