A Taste for Abita Amber

Thanks to my former student Tim Schwarz, who has me working regularly with him and his faculty at a charter school in New Orleans, I've developed quite a fondness for Abita Amber. This Louisiana brewery has quite a few nice selections, but they are not widely available to me here in Winston-Salem. So I am left to order it through friends connected with a local restaurant.

It's always a pleasure when a fresh case arrives. I keep the beverage cooler in the wetbar well-stocked with Abita Amber, Xingu (a Brazilian black beer), Viru (a nice find from Estonia), and occasionally Starr Hill Amber (from Crozet/Charlottesville, VA) and Newcastle.
