About: I recall my first sip of beer very fondly. At a very early age I was watching a baseball game with my father, and he noticed I was curious as to the colorful red and white canned beverage in his hand and finally offered me a sip. At that point I felt like I was a part of something special. As I was never able to touch those elusive drinks prior to that moment, I felt like a grown man, sipping the sudsy elixir with my dad watching sports on the tv screen.
That was a one time event though, and it wasnt until my teen years when I realized the magical effects beer can have at social functions. I became enamored immediately with the level of fun that can be had while drinking what I also had confessed was the most refreshing drink in existence.
After years of experimenting with every drink available to me, I have found my tastes and preferences have matured. Still, more so than ever I am driven by the quest to find the ultimate beverage. Though I know there is no such thing I am always trying something new to find my favorites. I enjoy variety, and also believe the only way to discover truly what you enjoy the most is by trying everything you can. Not only do you learn about the various styles and flavors associated with the many kinds of beer, but you also learn what you like as well as what perhaps you are not particularly fond of. There is a time and a mood for just about any style of beer crafted today, and the more you experience the better you are prepared to suit your own tastes.
I love beer, pure and simple.See Authors Posts (52) | Filed under: News
I just finished my shopping for this weekends brew tasting. While I was perusing the isles looking at a lot of the same stuff I have tried many times I decided it would be a good time to mix it up and delve into some different styles to find something new. This directed my attention to the theme for this weekend which is mainly German brews! Ok, I did throw in a Unibroue La Fin Du Monde and even a Ballast Point Amber and a couple Belgians for good measure, what can I say they caught my eye..
I read a great article earlier this week on Noble hops, so I got curious and figured why not give some of these classic examples a sampling! Anyone care to join me?!
