Beer Rating: Shock Top

We had six wise men and four wise women present to taste Shock Top. Everyone could instantly taste the orange/citrus flavors and it was compared to Blue Moon, Summer Hummer, and Bud Light Wheat. The Wise Men, turning to their carnivorous roots, felt Shock Top would be perfect with food like burgers and wings. One Wise Man went as far as to say it would be delicious with a BLT sandwich on wheat. I can honestly say that I have never had a BLT sandwich on wheat, but I am sure it is good, and apparently would be even better with a Shock Top there to cleanse your pallet. The Wise Women preferred fruits, salads, and other finger foods to go along with their Shock Top. It was unanimous that this is a spring or summer time brew and that the Mohawk rocking orange peel belongs in the sand somewhere on a beautiful beach. Considering it was snowing outside when we had our tasting, summer time is a little ways off, but for those several glorious seconds with Shock Top on my tongue I felt I was on the beach, maybe Cabo, sitting under an umbrella socking up the rays. It was a good feeling, and I sure could use a tan.

Wilpena Pound Resort

The resort was exactly what we expected. The accommodations were comfy, food was great, and the scenery was amazing. If possible, do a scenic flight. It would be well worth it and we would have done it if the weather was better. http://www.wilpenapound.com.au/

Rundle Mall

We spent many a nights on Rundle Mall. They have everything from 5-star restaurants to "cheap as chips"/Australia's Dollar Store, to awesome bars. http://www.totaltravel.com.au/travel/sa/adelaidearea/inneradelaide/attractions/amusement/rundle-mall

RnR White-Water Rafting

RnR was an awesome company. We got a discounted rate because we also booked out skydiving through the same company. The treatment was first class, the river was absolutely beautiful. If Callum is still there, you gotta go with him, he is a lot of fun. http://www.raft.com.au/

Wicked Campers

If you are in Europe, Australia, or New Zeleand, they are easy to find and so worth the money. The world is easy......in a Wicked Camper. www.wickedcamper.com.au

Tandem Cairnes

Tandem Cairnes was a really good skydiving outfit located in northern Cairnes. If I went back, I would certainly skydive again if possible, and I would certainly due it with Tandem Cairnes. http://www.sydneyskydivers.com.au/?loc=1

Coopers Ale

Coopers Ale is brewed in Adelaide, South Australia. it is a very good beer that sure was a hell of a lot of fun to drink. http://www.coopers.com.au/

London Tavern Pub

I ate at the London Tavern pretty often. They had a hell of a chicken schnitzel for their lunch special. http://www.thelondontavern.com.au/
