beers around the world


As I mentioned before Scott and I have entered a "beers from around the world" competition at the local pub.  It's 80 beers and when you finish they put your picture up on a wall.  I'm very excited.

The first time we went I had a guinness and a black and tan.  This time I had a blue moon because we had been talking about it earlier, then decided to just start picking randomly from the numbers I had left between 1 and 80.  I first chose 60 which was the stone levitation.  It was good, I think maybe having it right after a blue moon made me think they tasted very similar and I wouldn't have if I had just had it fresh, but regardless I liked it.  I also liked the bottle, it commands respect.

The next beer I had was magic hat:


I'm sure you've seen or had magic hat before, I took a picture of it more so I would remember that I had it.  At this point I was pretty wasted.  I actually had never had magic hat before, it was ok.  It tasted kind of like fruity pebbles to me.  I might order it again.  I am not sure what made me pick it, I don't remember what number it was.  On the front of the cards is the logo of the bar which has Shakespeare's picture in the center.  I think I might have chosen whichever number would punch out his smug mug.  Take that Shakespeare, now where's your soliloquy?

Hmmm doesn't have the same affect as, "now where's barbara walters"

Anyways, I look forward to updating you all as I make progress on my way around the world with sweet lady beer.

Also, I'd like to go ahead and get this out of the way now so I never have to think of it again.  Every time I leave this bar we walk past the hair salon next door which features this as their logo:


And every time I see it I think that it's a woman wrapped up in seaweed.  She looks kind of like the girl in casino royale who they find wrapped up in the hammock.  I don't care for it and I just had to get that off my chest.

  1. I'm super jealous of your beer adventure. Except I would probably get crazy and try to finish it in, like, a week.
