"Beer Me" Inauguration

A few weeks ago, I posted about how I basically hate beer, and would like to remedy that because I have Cincinnati blood pumping through my veins.

My good friend Kris took this quest to heart.


When Dan and I came over to Kris' house for our weeklyish game night, we found he had lined up tiny steins and mugs so that we could try different kinds of beers without having to commit to full bottles. Some were beers he'd purchased, some were homebrews. They were ordered by bitterness, starting out tame and becoming progressively hoppy-er.


I was very, very surprised to find that I didn't hate the stuff as much as I thought I did. This gives me great hope for my Beer Me endeavor! I definitely preferred the un-bitter end of the spectrum, like the very mild oatmeal stout that Kris handed me. By contrast, if I can avoid ever drinking any "Christmas Ale" again for my entire life, I'll be a happy girl.


I have to throw a serious shout-out to Kris, who went above and beyond to help kick off the informal Beer Me project! Now who's up for Stage 2, whatever that might be?
