    Beer Drinkers, it's your week!

    That's right! It's American Craft Beer Week (May 17-23), and for all of you beer drinkers out there, I recommend you celebrate in style. Try a new craft beer--there are a lot of them out there. Also, get in the spirit of all by reading the Declaration of Beer Independence and pledging yourself to its goals. (I know, I know, this one is from 2009, but it was the best visual I could find, and as far as I know, the text is the same.)

    Myself, I went to a beer tasting being held at my local beermonger's, and bought myself not only a four-style variety twelve pack from Magic Hat Brewery (they were the ones conducting the tasting), but also decided to not only get my semi-regular six pack of single beers to try, but went for a full on twelve pack of new and untried beers of varying styles. In essence, I bought 24 bottles of 16 different beers.

    Beer me! And beer YOU as well!


    First up: Old Chubb Scottish style ale from Oskar Blues Brewery in Colorado. Considering I really don't care for their Dale's Pale Ale, this should be interesting. It looks good. It smells nice. And it tastes....AWESOME. I am rather surprised, especially considering my aforementioned distaste for the only other product I've tried by these people. Beer #1: Success!

    I prefer Pie day, but I think I could live with Beer week.

      Oooo, I should get out the beer mats that my friend in Oregon sent me, from all of the different micro-breweries in her area
      Began work Aug as casual '08
      Ex-coworkers from current place of work: 26ish
      Current co-workers at current place of work: 15ish - yes he just hired 3 more casuals
      Why do I still work there again?

        Better yet, forget the mats and get the actual beers!

              Well, now that I graduated college, I need excuses to drink on days that aren't Friday or Saturday. This'll do.

                I don't believe in using excuses. And I have a very strict rule about beer.

                I only drink it on days that end in "Y."

                  Same here. I have the occasional glass of wine, but beer just doesn't do anything for me.

                    There are so many beers out there that I'm sure there are one you will like as well. If you like wine you may go for a beer with a high alcohol content and with less hops or other bitter tasting herbs.
                    Something like this, it is sweeter than usual with a taste of blueberrys :

                    It will probably be impossible to get in US, but if you look around you may find something similar, AFAIK there is a Belgian beer brewed on cherries which is exported to USA.
