Hey kids.

Do you see that?

Do you see that sun in the sky?

Do you know what that means?

Patio time!

And what do we all love about Patio time?

Patio drinks!

Kensington Wine Market has really stepped up to the plate and is now offering another Gluten Free Beer! This one is called Frio!

Frio! is a lager style beer brewed in Canada by Fort Garry Brewing Company in Winnipeg, MB. Frio! is a light beer (in more ways then one, it’s only 4%) with a mild taste. It’s similar to Le Messagere in colour and taste, but lacks the fiz that Le Messagere has. I personally don’t like my beer to fiz. So, for that reason, I would choose Frio! over Le Messagere.

From the beer tasting I’ve done over the last little bit, I have to admit that Green’s GF Beer still takes the cake. It really is the best we’ve found.

HOWEVER, there is something that Frio! can do that Green’s can’t – Frio! would be the best for Beergarrita’s.

Yes people I said it, Beergarrita!

So what’s in a Beergarrita?

In a jug combine the following: 4 bottles of GF beer, two shots of tequila and one can of frozen lime juice. Mix, drink and enjoy.

Warning: After two glasses you will need to do the stand check. Stand up, try to walk across the room and back. If you can make it without falling – continue drinking. If you can’t make it – take a break, have some water, or risk being “that guy” at the party.

I’d like to take this moment to thank my dad for finding the Frio! and I’d like to thank BCFF for the Beergarrita recipe. There would be no fun in the sun without you two!

(This picture is just because I think my dog rocks, and he was keeping us company while we hung out with our beergarrita’s getting a tan!)
