So I have a pretty big announcement to make, besides the fact that I am back to blogging. It's going to sound a little crazy but......
I joined the UFO Club at The Flying Saucer!
What does that even mean you say? That means that I will be trying 200 different beers and you will get to hear all about each and every one of them as I fly through this endeavor as quickly as possible. The deal goes like this, you drink your 200 unique beers and you get your name on a saucer at the bar! and a little party of sorts to celebrate with some friends!
I joined the club for a few reasons. Before I met boyfriend I really just drank Coors Light or whatever the college party host supplied. One of boyfriends goals in life is to introduce new craft beer to all the Coors, Miller and Bud Light fans in the world. He joined the club awhile back because he wanted to find new beers he liked. I would consider that I reason for me joining too. Boyfriend has introduced me to many beers that I love and I would definitely say I'm not a Coors Light girl any more. (Girlfriend Points!) Also, I was trying to convince my friend Michael to join and he was like wait your not even on it. So we made a bet that we would compete to see who could drink the 200 beers first if we both joined, basically my competitive nature was immediately game and I was game!
Michael and I on the night that we became proud card carrying members of the UFO Club!
Beer 7: Breckenridge Vanilla Porter, 3 Star
This beer is brewed in Denver, Colorado and scared the crap out of me. I am usually not a fan of darker beers so I choose this beer to get it out of the way, but I was pleasantly surprised. It is a lot lighter than I expected, not heavy like most porters. Vanilla smell was very evident and potent and smelled beautifully but it did not come through as much on the taste.
Beer 8: Lindemans Peche, 3 Star
Where is the beer and alchohol is all I gotta say? This taste just like a Peach Soda. So if you are into that sorta thing and aren't much of a beer fan this might be a good option to you. I would love to have this beer in the middle of the hot summer by the lake, but only one. I then would like some real beer please. So girls that say they don't like beer, stop being so dang dramatic and try this one! This beer did cost me $11 dollars though so find a good Sugar Daddy.
Beer 9: Wells Bombardier Bitter, 2 Stars
Sign number one of nastiness - bitter ale. Steer clear of those words please! It wasn't horrible but I will never drink this beer again, I will tell you that much. Bitter ale's just taste really freaking awkward. I can't even describe to you what this tasted like, not because I don't remember, but because there are no words for the weirdness this provokes. I will say the alchohol in this beer was more evident than in the other two I had this night. And that's all I have to say.
So yay! Back to blogging I am! If you have a beer recommendation for me let me know and I will definitely try it next! Also, if you would like more info on the great bar - The Flying Saucer - where all this craziness goes down, click here! You can get details about the UFO Club as well.
