Tenacious Traveler

A few months ago a Curious Traveler showed up on my front porch.  This curious bloke was refreshing and fun.  He also came with a fake mustache.  Although the fun is nice, I'm a sucker for fake facial hair.

As a follow-up to their initial offering, the House of Shandy has launched the Tenacious Traveler.  Just as his forebear, the Tenacious Traveler showed up on my front porch.  Score.  I hustled him inside.  With the front door closed, I pulled the traveler into a lit room to size him up.  This traveler…was different.  Intriguing.  More importantly, he was armed with those faux mustaches.  Again, I'm a sucker.  I readied him a spot in the fridge.

 Although the dedicated, Tenacious, shares a lot with his brother, Curious, the big T is even more to my liking.  

Any of the shandys are a hot-weather-I-just-cut-the-grass-damn-it's-hot-out-here-I-need-a-beer, beer.  In the end, I suppose I like the Tenacious a bit more than Curious because of the fresh ginger and its spice profile.  On the finish, I found a bit of spice which lingered.  In essence it told me, drink more.  Genius.

The Travelers still have limited US availability, which is too bad.  Perhaps by next summer it will be better.  I have a lot of hot grass cutting days ahead and it would be nice to finish them with a decent shandy, versus a lot of the lesser varieties that flood the market.  

In the meantime, I want to express just how much I enjoy the mustaches.  It must be simple mind…and lack of hair.

Note: The Tenacious Traveler showed up on my doorstep thanks to the good people at House of Shandy.  It's not every day I have so much fun with a parcel.
