THU APRIL 25--Easy Tiger is an Austin institution. Maybe that’s too strong of a word, but, lets just say it’s a must visit kind of a place. Built in the rocks, black + white, golden tiger graphics, tile, outdoor beer-garden, bakery, bar. I immediately recognized it because my interior inspirations folder on my desktop has a bunch of photos of the bar/bakery/cafe. It’s very pretty, link HERE, because my photos are terrible! Ommegang Brewery of Cooperstown sends a lot of beer to a lot of happy Austinites via Easy Tiger, so we stopped by at the recommendation of Friend of The Peddlers and Ommegang Super-Girl Tara Aitchison. We tried a couple of beers, one of their famous pretzel platters and the Ruben. All awesome, really. Matt, café manager took good care of us and sent us on our way with about a pound of their house-made beef-jerky--the perfect cycling energy snack. The opposite kind of protein snack as my sprouts, but I’m not complaining. We rock both sprouts and jerky. I cut it up into little pieces and stuck it in our Snack Bag. The VERY IMPORTANT SNACK BAG. Always evolving, always rapidly diminishing. Here's my idea: New York Ommegang/Maple + Texas Beef=Easy Tiger Cycle Jerky Super Snack. How 'bout it guys?
