UFO Club: 19, 20, 21

A couple of weekends ago boyfriend and I went to my hometown for a birthday party and since there is a Flying Saucer in Houston, of course we had to stop by and this is where I enjoyed beer 19, 20 and 21.  I had never, ever, been to a bar in downtown Houston but it was quite fun!




Flying Dog Raging Bitch 3 Stars
What a name right? haha gotta love it!  I must say that a uniquely named beer is quite intriguing when looking for a beer to try from the list.  And this one turned out okay.  It was a strong IPA flavor and after taste, which isn't my favorite but they are growing on me.  (I can't believe I just said that!)  There is a fruity-ness to this beer but I can't really figure it out.  She is a bitch though.....that sweet fruity taste followed by a strong IPA draw...BITCH! Also, she is 8.3% ABV which is pretty high for a beer.



Independence Oatmeal Stout 4 Stars
These pictures crack me up!  Okay so I didn't think I was going to like this beer because it is a stout so I took a 'scared' picture.  But then I tried it and I surprisingly really, really like it - hence the thumbs up picture!  Also, sorry about the OOC nail polish!  I highly recommend this beer for people who 'don't like stouts', very yummy.  It does have an oat-y flavor but definitely no oatmeal.  I was wanting a little sweetness to it but it wasn't to be found.  Also, this beer is served in the glass as shown - and this glass usually means bad news bears but not this time.  This disproves the glass theory!


Stone Arrogant Bastard 1 Star
This picture is so bad because this beer is so bad!  BASTARD - I should have known right?  I was in a name calling mood when I started drinking this day I guess, who knows really!  This beer was way to strong and dark for me.  Look - it is pretty much black!  It was actually very hard for me to get through this one.  It's name fits it perfectly, Arrogant Bastard is right.


I also got my best friend Melody and her husband Daniel to join the UFO Club!  Melody wasn't even sure she liked beer before this trip and now she is in a beer drinking club - I'm good people!

Boyfriend and I want to visit every Flying Saucer in the nation!  How cool would that be?
Very...that's how cool!
