How awesome is my wife?

[mickp]

Ha, you were expecting saucy pictures, weren't you?

Yesterday was my 14th anniversary . We don't normally make too big a deal of it, but I did get her a small gift (a squirrel proof bird feeder, in case you wondered). Glad I did, 'cause when I got home she had bought me the following list of beverages, courtesy of Whole Foods in Austin...

Widmer : Prickly Pear Braggot, Deadlift Imperial IPA
Sierra Nevada : Kellerweiss, Torpedo
Chimay Blue
Stone Self Righteous
Green's Endeavour Dubbel
Hoogstraten Poorter
Orval
La Chouffe
Real Ale Devils Backbone
Great Divide Chocolate Oak Yeti
Ommegang BPA
Boulevard Tank 3

Beats a bird feeder eh?
There are 14 brews here, one for each year, ya see.
I'm familiar with the obvious ones (Chimay, Orval and, being near Austin, Devil's Backbone); on the others I'd be real interested to hear anyones comments (other than "I want your wife...")

Deadlift is a beautiful beer...............enjoy that 4-pack

Yes, I was expecting some pics...

Notwithstanding the awesome beer I see she got you, I still need pics in order to let you know how awesome your wife is... thank you.

she's just trying to get you drunk so you put out!

Sierra Nevada Torpedo is one of my favorites. I have had the prickly pear braggot and that was pretty interesting too...but quite an investment. She must really like you.

She gave you all this for a bird feeder? Imagine if you bought her something big, like a diamond ring...she'd probably buy you controlling interest in a major US Craft brewery.

Ha, enjoyed the responses guys. I was just lucky that I even got the bird feeder - it was a spur of the moment thing when I was in Lowes anyway!
She will join me in sampling these brews, which I look forward to starting once I get over this cold.

Meanwhile, may you all be so fortunate in your discovery of life partners of whichever persuasion.

One other little interesting snippet - when she was in Whole Foods she asked for assistance from whoever was their "beer nerd" to make the selection. They dutifully found the person...who was female. Way to go!
