Second Annual Beer Tasting Tournament
Friday night we celebrated my 39th birthday by having a second beer tasting tournament. Pepper and I scoured Ulaanbaatar shops for 16 different beers than were tried last year. We ended up with drinks from Europe, Asia, and North and South America. Unfortunately we couldn’t find any Sam Adams to defend the title from last year. We had …
Caucasia Restaurant – Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
Last night we finally went to a restaurant near our place in downtown Ulaanbaatar. We’ve been planning to try it for months. ”Caucasia” serves Armenian, Georgian and Azerbaijani food. We tried their appetizer that is similar to chips and salsa, salads, dumplings, pizza-like dish and kabobs. Everything was quite good. Prices were reasonable – Pepper and …
Burgermeister restaurant in Moscow, Russia
June 24th of 2012 we were wandering around Moscow and thirsty. We had finished riding the Trans Siberian Railroad (said “SiBEERian”) and spent a little time exploring the sites before we were headed to St. Petersburg. Then we found Burgermeister. Their beer menu is astounding. We tried a few excellent beers that we had never …
No Idea bar in Bangkok
Not more than a ten minute walk from the place we were staying is a strangely named “gastropub” called No Idea. The exterior is nice and the interior just as pleasant.

Day 16 – May 21, 2011 – Prague
On May 21st we headed to the airport with Kevin and Trina. They were headed back to Los Angeles. Pepper, Jordan and I boarded a flight to Prague, Czech Republic for an 8 hour layover which then continued to Italy. But we never told Jordan we were going to Italy. You see, when we started …
Viking Beer on tap at the Blue Lagoon in Iceland
After more than seven hours of flying it really is a great reward to soak in the warm waters of the Blue Lagoon. The area is very resort-like with mud baths, steam rooms, massage areas, and even a swim-up bar. For about $9 you can charge a beer to the wrist band that they give …
