Bison Organic Ginger Bread Beer.  Doesn't really taste like much of anything to be honest. Very bland and ehhh!

Alexander's

4.5 STARS

101 West Bank Street, Petersburg, VA 23803

This little hidden gem in downtown Petersburg is well worth the trip to the ATM, which you will have to go to because they don't take plastic. 

Inside the place is old school and small but the food makes all the trouble worth while. Alexander's is a Greek restaurant but they carry other non-greek dishes. I've been before and got the cheese stuffed chicken for dinner and it was absolutely awesome.

This last time I went it was for lunch and I got a bacon cheese burger which I had been told was very good.  Not a thing had changed since I was there last, which was close to 5 years ago!

Our waitress was sweet and attentive and did an outstanding job.  My burner was perfectly cooked and tasted great. Simple, but perfectly cooked and topped with some tzatziki it was one of the best burgers I've had for a while.  Served with just chips and a pickle, the burger was around $8  but well worth it.

I was very impressed with Alexander's for both lunch and dinner and I highly recommend it.  Next time I go I plan on getting the gyro which looked ridiculously delicious.  But just remember, bring cash or a check.

Sierra Nevada Celebration: Fresh Hop IPA. 

Great pale ale, but not christmasy at all.

Goose Island Festivity Brown Ale.

This is an extremely good brown ale. There are honestly not a whole lot of brown ales out there but this is one of the best.  This one is brewed with Christmas spices and a prefect hops and malts ratio. A very good, drinkable beer.

Avery's Old Jubilation Ale..

This is a malty winter warmer in the best sense with a slight hoppy after taste.  A good beer with strong and robust flavors.

On the 9th Day of Christmas CeJae Wore...

Dress Stewart Tartan Pants, a navy blue blazer, and a red knit tie...

One day while I was at the Goodwill I spied these bad boys and had to snag them up.   But with great pants comes great responsibility.  I have gotten a lot of comments about my pants today, all good, but you have to remember that you must be as jolly and cheerful as your clothes are.  

This outfit lives up to the old adage, you can never go wrong with a navy blazer and red tie.  While the pants are obviously the focal point, the jacket and tie bring it all together.

Thanks for reading and remember only 16 more days until Christmas!

A Breckenridge Christmas Ale...

A nice malty beer. Not to strong nor very spicy. It could use a little more spice to make out more christmasy but overall not a bad beer but not outstanding.
