Beer. I've visited 100's of micro-breweries in 18 states and 4 countries. This January will be the 5th country (Mexico).
It's kinda like Raiders of the Lost Ark... I'm looking for the most delicious fresh beer.
What are some fun or weird stand outs youโd recommend?
Weird: German Rauchbier. Literally smoked beer. Actually good, but you can't really drink much of it. It was designed as an accompanying drink for smoked food and / or cigars.
Iโll have to track that down, thanks!
I personally don't like smoked beers. Tried it. Yuck. Not worth rubbing.
Sours can be delicious if it's a perfect balance. Unfortunately, that's extremely difficult to pin down. My local place near Boston has a great one called Harvester Scythe. It has nice flavor at front end of the tongue, yet a clean smooth finish.
Sounds like all that alcohol is getting to you if you started with beer and now working yourself towards beets.
Personally I don't drink alcohol and during a trip to Germany .... I've never had so many people laugh at me for refusing to drink, so they offered me a beer which I declined, they laughed some more and offered me wine which I said no to and they continued laughing. It's a fun memory because our next stop was the north of France right in wine country .... a tour guide gave us endless plans surrounding wine tours and tasting, we kept saying no and she finally got frustrated and asked us what we were doing there.
Ha, ty. I'll fix that. Lots of things to do without alcohol.
drinking alcohol is not a hobby
Drinking alcohol does not always equal problematic drinking. I consider beer a hobby. I keep tasting notes on beers I try, I read books on brewing techniques and history, I search out beers with specific ingredients and of specific styles. All while staying within recommended limits for people of my age, weight, and gender.
How is that not a hobby?
hey, fair enough.
Why is this stupid comment upvoted
Becuase Randy Marsh used it as a defence during his alcohol phase
So judgy. There is nothing wrong with micro-brew beets.
