a month of beer– intro and first day

A while back, I started a blog about beer. I live in the land of microbrews and beer is just damned tasty. The plan was to drink one kind of beer a day for a year.

Then I got some news that I had fibroids, and beer specifically is worse for them than any other kind of alcohol, contributing expressly to growth. So that was abandoned after about a month’s entries. A decent enough proportion were not typed up that I might as well post the entire set of entries as chronologically (edited slightly for content) as I can when I feel like it.

So here is the very first one:

I am a fan of beer. It tastes yummy and is very relaxing and fun to drink.Yesterday I drank a Delirium Tremens, a Belgian dubbel-strength IPA (India Pale Ale). It is listed on other beer sites as a ’strong pale ale’, but whatever. That means it is a mild IPA. It was kind of buttery, with lemon flavors. I sound so wine-critic, but then beer is grain wine, so there you have it. Alas, the hoppiness was faint (I do like a hoppy ale).

It is a very summer beer, all carefree and lighthearted. I was eating a piece of fried chicken while I drank it, but it held its flavor and wasn’t overwhelmed and also didn’t overwhelm the poor chicken.

It was quite a nice adventure and beverage. I’d recommend it, particularly around july.
