UFO Club: 33 and 34

Live Oak Primus Weizenbock - 3 Stars

haha on this card I wrote that the beer was the same color as my nails which were chocolate brown ...random!  But anyways, when I first saw this beer the first thing I thought was what does weizenbock mean....so I will tell you.  A Weizenbock beer is a beer made with wheat malt.  And now you know some random trivia!  This beer has a sweet taste that disappears quickly leaving absolutely NO after taste - so strange!

Great Divide Hibernation - 1 Star

and on this card the first thing I wrote was 'Oh God, the things I get myself into'....haha not a good sign.  Let's just say that I did not enjoy this beer.  It tasted very alcohol-y....like in rubbing alcohol.  I don't want to drink that!  The Great Divide brewery is located in Denver, Colorado and the Hibernation is a winter ale that they have been producing since 1995.  The artwork for this beer (you know the wrapper thing) is really cute, very cabin in the woods in a snowstorm look, I dig.  But I do not dig this beer, probably because it is in that little glass....the glass of death!

BTW, I love these pictures of me!  I know that is a little big headed for me to say but hey it's true!  Besides my red nose....had a cold this day.

Thanks for reading!

...leave me some love...

UFO Club: 30, 31 and 32

These beers were had at the Flying Saucer in Houston.  I like visiting saucer's in other cities besides my local one.  Boyfriend and I are going to try to visit all of them in the nation actually.  There are 14 locations so it should be obtainable, but I will keep you updated.  Anyways, Melody and Daniel joined 

Jeffrey and I at the Saucer and we enjoyed some time together.  You should remember them - we got them to join the UFO Club the last time we visited Houston....so they are each at number 6!

Ridgeway Very Bad Elf - 2 Stars

Ridegway Very Bad Elf is a series of 'Bad Adjective' Elf beers made by Ridgeway based in the United Kingdom.  I didn't really like this one - and it is huge - so I did not venture to try another.  I do really appreciate when brewers come up with clever names for their beer though, it definitely makes it more fun to try the brew.  This is an English Pale Ale but is rather hoppy but lacks a true flavor outside of that.

Ranger Creek Oatmeal Pale Ale - 3 Stars

This beer is brewed locally in San Antonio, Texas at the Ranger Creek brewery.  I did not know this but the owner of the Saucer in Houston suggested I try it after learning that I live in San Antonio.  It was a nice suggestion.  The beer is an American Pale Ale (which I don't know what the 'American' part means and if you look at the picture that is pretty dark - not so pale).  But anyways, this beer actually had a cinnamon/cookie taste.  Very nice.  I definitely want to go check out this brewery and take tour!

Piraat Triple - 3 Stars

I have decided to start shooting some videos while I am trying new beers so that you get a real look of me trying the beer and see my initial reaction on my face and my first thoughts.  I hope you enjoy this! 

And that is beer 30, 31 and 32!  Yay!

UFO Club: 27, 28 and 29

I have no pictures of the beers, but here is me on the day I drank them!

Hoegaarden White - 5 Stars

Yum!  This was a good wheat beer.  It is served with an orange and looks very similar to Blue Moon in that regard.  But it is much better than Blue Moon, which I am not a fan of.  It is a very smooth beer and smells very good and fragrant of the orange.  The beer is very yellow and is bigger than your average beer at 11oz.  Definitely recommend this one to everyone.  I want more in fact!

St. Bernardus Christmas Ale - 4 Stars

Okay - first things first.  If I was ever going to go somewhere and knew that I would only be able to have one beer, this would be it.  Why?  Because it has the alcohol content of two beers at 10 ABV!  You can double time it while maintaining some class with this beer.  It is dark but delicious.  It also has that spice-y thing going for it that a lot of Christmas beers have.  Very good!

Shiner Holiday Cheer - 5 Stars

This was a great beer day.  I enjoyed all my beers which I rarely ever do.  Shiner Cheer is once again dark but not to thik and smoother than you would like by it's color.  The Shiner brewery is only about an hour away from San Antonio and I do plan on visiting it with boyfriend some time.  I once got a chance to go in college as a chemistry club field trip, but I didn't.  Yes, I was in the chemistry club, and what? haha but yea I want to go now that I am a beer drinker and see what it is all about.

PS - My friend Jennifer asked me if I even like beer after reading my blog. haha, it's funny that this would be the next post where I genuinely like all the beers I had.  Jennifer - I do like beer! See!
