Would you believe I am 32 years old and I had my first beer last month? I am not a goody-two-shoes by any stretch, but apparantly my sinfulness does not stretch into ale related territory. I have always enjoyed my red wine and all it's encompassing culture has to offer, both intellectual and frivolous. I am not wealthy enough to *collect* wine, per se, but I can pick out a good red with no hesitation.
I have tried various mixed potables while out with the girls but most of them made me pucker and/or cringe at it's sweetness. I regularly stick to vodka and tonic although sometimes I'll go really crazy and get it with an orange slice instead of a lime wedge! Watch out!
People have pushed beer on me time and time again and my reaction has always been the same: "what IS this?? Something is missing".
Indeed. Something was missing. FLAVOR, is my vote. Flavor is noticeably absent from what I call the Undeserved Top Top (UTT). I am not one to name names.....
...who the hell am I kidding? Of COURSE I name names!
The UTT (and each one includes it's "light" and other fancy counterparts)
Budweiser
Coors
Amstel
Corona
Beck's
Busch
Heineken
Miller
Michelob
Bass
So, there you have it. I did not like any of these. Although I will admit that my 1st full beer (one month ago!) was a Bud Light and I choked it down without the usual difficulty, as my tastebuds were already marinaded in vodka.
Since then I have decided to go on a Journey Of Beer Discovery. A quest. A vagabondage of brewery for my palate.
Please, join me. Give me your suggestions. Cheer me on. Tell me I'm a moron. And certainly don't expect miracles from me. I'm only a human testing my limits of inebriation, afterall.
