The Next Step

After that first escapade into the delightful bitter ocean of hops and wheat tinged with citrus my mind began to actually work. This beer stuff, it has many many varieties, I bet they are all different. What do they taste like? Which kind will I like the best? I had no idea yet, but decided I really wanted an idea. So I took a trip to the only liquor store I knew of that might have something exciting.

I walked in. Scanned the shelves, vodka, rum, whiskey. I know about all this stuff, where's the beer? I walked into the back, turned a corner and.... BEERVANA. There were at least 500 different single bottles of beer ranging in price from $1.99 all the way to over $25 for a 12oz bottle. I knew this would take a while, but I might as well start.

I got 9.

Samuel Adams - Brewmaster's Collection - Cherry Wheat
Great Divide Raspberry Ale
Orange Blossom Pilsner
Rogue - Dead Guy Ale
Piraat Ale
Old Rasputian Imperial Stout
Red Stripe (somehow I had not yet tried this)
Rogue - Mocha Porter
Stella Artois (another common I hadn't yet had)

Now the wheels were really turning.
