Finished this over the weekend - I like it better than "Cuba Libre" the last Leonard novel I read.

What's On Tap

Found this on tap at the Muskegon Athletic Club (M.A.C) tonight:

Unlimited Release This is our unique version of an ancient style. A style as old as the ocean trade routes of the last centuries Great Ships. Not as old as the equator they had to cross twice enroute, nor as old as the 10,000 or so miles of Di-Hydrogen Oxide and Sodium upon which they sailed, but older than the Circulithium-4 Lentloid that binds the Lupulin Quartnate onto your taste buds. Weird. Think about it. Now stop. OK, go again, now stop. Think again, and stop. But we digress. Made with 43 different hops and 65 various malts, this redolent ale will likely float your boat, whatever planet you're on. Thanks for your trust, and as always:Think Globally, Drink Locally!! Say "LAH-GOO-KNEE-TUSS"

Turkey Beer Brats UPDATE

Here is the nutrition information off from Jennie-O's website:

Nutrition (per serving)

Calories 120 Calories From Fat 80 Total Fat 9.0 g Saturated Fat 2.0 g Trans Fat.0 g

Note that these Brats are still 2/3rds (66%) fat. I thought I'd check them out because Jennie-O does sell some healthy turkey products, most which our labelled "EXTRA LEAN."

Of course, the claim that they are 50% less fat than pork bratwurst, to me would have to mean that that pork bratwursts are 133% fat. Now I know they may be 90+ % fat, but could someone please explain to me how something that has 50% of the fat content of something else can still be 66+ % fat? I'll copy this to Jennie-O also, and I'm anxious to see who is the first person who can explain this kind of math to me!

Turkey Beer Brats

by J @ 12:09 pm. Filed under Fun Stuff, Food & Beer, Beer-Related, Holidays

If you can't manage a whole turkey, but still want some beer and turkey for Thanksgiving, Jennie-O makes a "Fully Cooked Turkey Beer Bratwurst." They're made with Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat Beer.

According to the website, Jennie-O Turkey Store, their "fully-cooked turkey bratwursts are the only fully-cooked brats available that are made with 100 percent turkey meat. Our Turkey Beer Bratwursts are ready to heat and serve in minutes, and with 50 percent less fat than USDA data for cooked pork bratwurst, they are easy on your waistline."

If you enjoyed this post or the Bulletin generally, please consider buying me a pint
