Happy Saturday!  J and I started ours off with some paintball.  It was a first time for both of us and I had a blast.  Of course around 12:00 it started to get pretty hot.  That’s Texas for you.  Other than one nasty bruise/welt I came out mostly unscathed.  I did end up with blue paint in my hair.  Luckily I rocked a little side front braid that helped protect my head.  Surprisingly I had a lot of fun.  I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy getting shot at.  I’m not sure I’m enjoying this bruise, but it’s not so bad.  J’s coworkers and boss made for great company.  A huge thanks goes out to his awesome boss for treating everyone.  Thank you Simon!

(I know my legs are crazy white.  It’s too hot to get a tan.)

On to the review!  For awhile I’ve had my eye on the Coconut Porter from Maui Brewing Company. I have a slight obsession with all things coconut.  Being that a 4-pack was almost $10 it was a splurge for us.  Well sadly I don’t think it was worth the splurge.  Don’t get me wrong it was a delicoius porter, but I didn’t even get a hint of coconut.  I enjoyed it very much, just wish for the price I had actually gotten a hint of coconut flavor.  I’m going to have to keep searching for another coconut beer to satisfy my (newly created) craving.  I would definitely be interested in trying other beers from Maui Brewing Company.  Maybe a pumpkin beer?  I’m dying for a pumpkin beer.  Sadly I have placed an arbitrary limit on myself.  Not until the high is 90 degrees or lower will I buy or bake anything pumpkin.  Boo Texas!  Hurry up and let autumn swoop upon us.

Readers: Any good beer recommendations for me?  I’m happy to try anything!
