Beer review my trip to Eureka Heights Brewery

Welcome to the Brad Essex report here what i'm looking at this week. This week we are taking a break from politics. Andrew Breitbart once said politic is downstream from pop culture. So I'm going to tell you about my trip to the Eureka Heights Brewery.


It's was a lazy Friday afternoon in Houston. Cloudy and humid. Me and my brother made the trek from Cypress to Houston. Pretty soon we were at the brewery and we meet Heather one of the owners of the Brewery. She told us about what they had and talked to my brother about owner brent being at the rodeo since my brother was a gatekeeper.

So we head to the bar. My first beer was a Wicket Awesome. A tasty light beer, It had a crisp taste to it and a little hop to it. My brother had the Moo Caliente which I'll talk about in a second. First the Brewery is very open spaced you don't feel too crowded. Also got long tables to spread out and feel comfortable in.

Now the next beer I tried is the Moo Caliente this is a dark beer with a little bit of a kick to it. It has cinnamon and Cayenne pepper in it to give a good warm taste to this stout. In the wintertime this would be an excellent drink to savor.

The place had many stuff to do too. Like giant block Jenga. Test your roping skills with the dummy bull. Plus pinball and trivial pursuit deck to test your knowledge. me and my brother did trivia while waiting for my brother cousin in law Carl to come over.


Meanwhile I then had the Mostly Harmless. This was my least favorite of the batch it had a citrus taste to it that I didn't like. It was trying too hard to be a shocktop beer. Thou to be honest, I'll try it again to see if I was wrong about it.



Then Carl came over and we started talking. Then we tried two alternate Wicket awesome. One made with Vanilla and one made with Snickers. The Vanilla one was a smooth drink. It was like drinking a beer with ice cream it was delightful. The Snicker one thou was a miss. It sorta tasted too flat for me. You could taste the nuts in it. It ended my day on a down note as far as beers go.


After saying bye to Carl we talked to Heather a little more. Then found out more about the brewery and activity. It has Sunday video games night for the retro gamer that play the games on a 20 foot screen. Also they have food trucks that come by so you can get your grub on. Spoiler alert do not go on a Friday during lent. The BBQ truck was a strong temptation to me and my bro.

Also they have a Yoga night. Plus Trivia night and beer tasting night on Thursday. If you want to sample their beer they have a sampler. They also have Eureka gears and stickers to support the brand. Finally they also have cans of beers. So if you want to take some home you can.

I like to thank Heather and Brent for showing us around. I can't wait to come over again when it's not meatless Friday and eat and drink beers there.

Trumpcare! How Ryan plan is not the plan your looking for.

Welcome to the Brad Essex Report. Here is what I'm looking at this week. Paul Ryan released the alternative to Obamacare. Some of the points are good for example.  Protects the most vulnerable Americans to ensure that no individual would be turned down by a participating
Exchange insurers based on age or health.  Gives Americans the same standard health benefits as Members of Congress, so all Americans have a wide range
of choices.

Yet the problem is they want to keep many of the ideals of Obamacare. No where does it has the part where Americans can go across state lines if they want to get the cheapest Insurance coverage. Paul Ryan should know by now when we say kill Obamacare we don't mean kill it with kindness we say kill it with fire. It should be the last nail in the failed policy grave of Obama.

Attorney General Sessions have asked the remaining 48 U.S. attorneys appointed by former President Obama to resign. This shouldn't be a big deal yet it is to many democrats yet it has been a standard operating procedure for incoming Administrations to ask the previous presidential staff to resign.  The libs are acting like this is like the Saturday Night Massacre, which Richard Nixon's dismissed independent special prosecutor Archibald Cox, and as a result spur the resignations of Attorney General Elliot Richardson and Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus. This is a big deal of nothing. Unless they were trying to undermine the president?



Finally Wednesday was International Women’s Day. So the Libs had a day without a woman's day. Except not many women skipped out. The rules were Women take the day off, from paid and unpaid labor. Avoid shopping for one day (with exceptions for small, women- and minority-owned businesses). Finally wear RED in solidarity with A Day Without A Woman. While some may have gotten their and I quote "p***y hats" and march most women I know were taking care of their kids or working to provide for them or trying to better themselves. Women share the same inalienable rights as men. Get paid the same as men in some fields and a lot more in others. They should protest the lack of rights in countries like Saudi Arabia, Oman ,Iran and other Muslims countries. Where it a crime to walk by themselves. Drive a car or vote. Be the brave women and protest there I dare you. Yet they won't because the woman who lead the whole thing Rasmea Yousef Odeh  is a convicted terrorist. Who support the horror women face in Islamic countries.
