Bud Light fans READ ON! I’m
going to share something with you.
Not many people, think back now,
drank their first beer and thought…
“That is delicious!” With that being
said, I’d like to present a challenge
of sorts. As a veteran bartender I
have witnessed firsthand, dozens of
people rejecting my beer suggestions until I finally found one for
them. Then, they spread wings and
took flight! They would come back
and tell ME about new beer that
they loved or hated. Beer, let’s face
it, is an acquired taste. You may
hate one, cringe at another, refuse
to drink some. Here’s a great thing
that’s happening now with beer…
samples. Most bars will allow you
to taste beer before purchasing your
pint of choice. So why not try?!
Taste! Enjoy the ever growing
range of styles and flavors in beer;
one of the finest liquids on the
planet! Ask bartenders, talk to people about what they like and don’t,
but mostly, experience choice, variety, change, options and the full
spectrum of available beer. Ok, I’m
wicked thirsty now. Let’s move on
to November’s beer.
Time to raise your glass high
beer drinkers! This one goes out to
STONE BREWING COMPANY; my
choice for November’s beer and
brewery of the month! I really try to
stay local but this brewery has been
a favorite of mine for so long, that I
just have to do a bit of gushing over
the romantic journey we’ve shared
together all these years. First of all
what’s not to love? Arrogant Bastard Ale has to have been in your
Cider’s monthly beer column
