Panera Bread VS. Starbucks!?!
April 14th, 2009 by Jason
So now that I’ve been with Robin for over a year, she’s beginning to rub off on me. Robin’s a huuuuge coffee drinker and I, well I’m not, or rather didn’t ever touch the stuff before Robin. But now she’s got me hooked on lattés.
She mainly got me hooked on Starbuck’s Cinnamon Dolce Latté, and a couple of weekends ago I got myself hooked on Caramel Lattés at Panera Bread, when spending an entire Saturday at two different Panera’s. It was a long day of coding and lattés.
Anyway I’m wondering which is better – Panera Bread lattés or Starbucks?!? I’m leaning towards Starbucks since they don’t tend to burn their lattés as much as Panera, and plus the company started in Seattle. Not that I’m a huge fan of Seattle, actually I’ve never been there but my bestfriend is from there. Wait! maybe I need to try Water Street Coffee since they’re local to Kalamazoo and I’m from Kalamazoo!

Bell’s Winter White or Oberon?
April 11th, 2009 by Jason
With the recent release of Bell’s Brewery spring/summer/fall beer, Oberon, we’re wondering which beer is tastier; the winter classic, Winter White Ale, or Bell’s most popular beer, Oberon? Both beers are seasonal and actually have the opposite seasonal schedules. Winter White has the shortest run, November 1st through March, and Oberon, March 30th through October. The beers are very similar, both are in the witbieren (“white beers”) style. Winter White tastes a bit more traditional, more German, and Oberon has an almost Belgian feel with the hint of orange.
Which brand of Bell’s beer do you prefer? Our own internal Cat Gymnastics staff is mixed:
IRA: Likes Oberon but prefers White Russians.
Georgia: Doesn’t drink beer but is rooting for Oberon.
Robin: Prefers Winter White over Oberon and also believes that Oberon is best on draft.
Jason: Prefers Winter White because he gets sick of Oberon, the seasonal run is too long he prefers more variety.
