Broiled steaks tonight - a couple of 12oz strips, seasoned with salt, worcestershire pepper, and garlic.  Fresh-shucked corn on the cob and baked potatoes with butter and sour cream for the sides, and a loaf of onion rye bread.  Pretty good if I say so myself.

When I stopped at the store on the way home from work I saw the new Redd's Apple Ale, which I had wanted to try since I had the more-than-unbelievably-excellent Apple Cider Ale at Firehouse Brewing Company in Rapid City, SD.  See the previous post here.

Sad to say Redd's is not very good.  Even as a light ale it's got a very weak, watery flavor with a bit of a sour bile after-kick to the apple taste.  Not something I would purchase again.  For a full (and I think, fair) writeup, follow this link to the Chicago Reader blog and a review by Philip Montoro.
