This summer is heating up and there's nothing that entices my taste buds more than a gourmet burger and a hearty brew to wash it all down with. I guess it reminds me of all the bbq's during the summer when you pass by a park during the Fourth of July and you catch a whiff of those juicy burgers grilling. It was simple times back then when I was a kid when I lived in Chicago with all the summer picnic and family reunion bbq's we held every summer. 

My cousins and I would run around endlessly, dripping sweat, and our parents being Filipino would always hand a dry towel on the back of our shirts to soak up all the sweat so when the heat simmered down and the cool breeze came along we wouldn't catch a fever.

Food was bottomless. I would scuff burgers and chips every 30 minutes and I was amped up on soda and my body was immune to stomach aches from over eating and running right after meals. Good ol' days eh?

Now at 26, I'm still reminiscent of those burgers but with a grown man's palette for a gourmet medium rare burger garnished with fresh argula spinach paired with garlic aiola fries and depending on my mood, anything from a hearty IPA or if I want to go lighter I opt for a Belgian. 

This summer I plan to bring you guys coverage of gastropubs I plan too seek out and conquer. 

I gotta work out twice as much and watch my general diet throughout the week in order to balance out all the carbs I'm gonna be eating AND drinking...

CHEERS!

It's always tough to choose your first beer...too many choices and so many progressions to go through. I always admire a nice Belgian with higher number to get my appetite going...Maredsous "10" please!
