Half Off at Luna Park

Three little piggies.

Apparently Henry’s Hat isn’t the only place that sends out half-price coupons.  Luna Park, part of the same family with Henry’s Hat, also partakes in these amazing deals.  So the last time Luna Park sent out an offer, we headed out to the Miracle Mile area to check out what Luna Park was all about.

The first thing I noticed on their menu was they had a beer called Skyscraper Bulldozer Honeyweizen.  I was so excited to see this, since my favorite beer is Leinenkugel’s Honey Weiss, so I made sure to order this immediately.  When I drank it, I was pretty happy.  It’s a bit sweeter and thicker than Honey Weiss, but definitely a good choice since I can’t get that beer out here.  Unfortunately, this is the only place I’ve ever seen that beer, so hopefully I’ll be able to find it again sometime.

Every once in a while, Henry’s Hat sends out an email to loyal fans, alerting them that the entire menu, including drinks, will be half price for a night.  Luckily, my girlfriend happens to be one of those loyal fans, so we set off for that strange area near Universal City to get some ridiculously cheap food.

Henry’s Hat is really a sports bar with a mostly bar-like menu.  As someone with an infatuation with bar food, this was great for me.  A lot of the food on the menu looked good and some looked fancier than your average bar food.  We started off with an order of Aggies’s Chili Con Queso.  This was molten cheese and salsa with tortilla chips.  And since we were such big rollers for the night, we decided to “Make it Mud.”  In doing so, they added black beans, chorizo and avocado and pico de gallo to the mix.  Actually, we got the pico de gallo on the side, since those tomatoes and onions would have ruined the whole thing.

Beer Me Some Breckenridge Agave Wheat

The taste of skiing?

Colorado is definitely a beer state, and not just because Coors comes from the Rocky Mountain State.  No, it is also home to New Belgium (of Fat Tire fame) and seemingly countless other micro and craft breweries.  While in Breckenridge for a ski weekend, I decided I had to at least try one of these, and because it turned out to be the only one available at dinner, my choice happened to come from the creatively named Breckenridge Brewery.  The brewery, by the way, is actually no longer in Breckenridge, having expanded and moved to Denver in 1992.
