In addition to being exposed to several new cuisines my Yelp friends have encouraged me to try several different types of beers. Generally I have had lagers with my most consistent purchase being MGD. I already knew I did not care for light beers. Not surprisingly I found out Heineken and Corona were almost identical chemically. Getting in to craft beers I had my first taste of Fat Tire about 4 years ago in Las Vegas and still enjoy it. I find I really like wheat beers with some of my favorites being Widmer Hefeweizen, Shock Top and Mothership Wit. Most of the time I prefer them without the added or blended fruit. Generally I like pale ales and summer ales. Having tried several I still have not developed a liking for IPAs or anything heavy and dark or sweet or heavy in hops. Bud sucks! Now that I have a larger selection of beers that I like I can usually find something on tap I like. And Coors rates right with Bud. I am on the fence about Pilsners having had some I like liked and some I thought were bitter.
This blog is for all the folks I never seem to stay in contact with. So if I don't get around to calling or emailing or the internet loses the email it will all be here. :-). And if you are a visiting stranger I hope you find me not too boring, and maybe make your presence known with a comment or an email. What you will find here is: food I ate, food I cooked, some sports, movie (DVD) reviews, stuff I went and did and some, sometimes sarcastic, views of what went on around me.
