Summer Treats

My drink selection changes from season to season, especially the adult beverages. Is anyone with me on that one? 

In winter, I'm a red drinker. Moving into summer, I switch to a chilled glass of white or a cold pint of a local craft brew. Funny coming from a girl that didn't enjoy her first beer until she was 23. (Side note: I did have my first beer long before 23, but I did not like it.) I went from refraining from gagging when trying to drink a bottle of Canadian, to enjoying a nice hoppy IPA. In fact, the hoppiest IPA you could find. I'm talking that put you on your ass IPA, 100+ IBUs. Total 180. 

My taste for IPAs definitely took off in Alaska, where microbreweries are abundant. As I'm sure everyone on the West Coast would agree, the Pacific Northwest craft beer scene is top notch. Ontario on the other hand, not so much. It's gotten better, I'll give them that, but it still cannot compare to the beers we were drinking on our most recent trip out West. Allow me to show you...

I think I have a hops problem.

What is So Fill Your Heart blog all about?

So Fill Your Heart was started because I got so much enjoyment out of reading other peoples blogs that I wanted to see if that same enjoyment could be experienced from starting one of my own. Turns out, it gave me more than I ever thought. It's been my little corner of the internet where I can share whatever it is that I want; whether that's the embarrassing story I've just gotten myself into, or what I'm currently doing, or the newest makeup product I'm currently loving. It really is all over the place but I feel like that's exactly how it's supposed to be when you're talking about your life. 

What is your favourite summer treat?

When it comes to summertime drinks, besides my normal love affair for coffee, my favourite would have to be a cold beer. There's nothing more that I love than sitting on a patio on a hot summers day with some friends and having a beer! So simple, but yet so great!
