Lacking in Organization

Being that this is the very beginning of this quest/project, i'm extremely unorganized (which is quite usual for me :/ ) I know what my plan is, I guess what i should really be confessing is the truth. The truth is I've worked 30 hours in the last 3 days and I haven't had time to research my beers of the week. I probably could've squeezed in more time for this, but then I would have gotten even less than the 5 hours of sleep I got per night. However I did drink beer! I even tried a couple of new beers. My beer of choice is currently Michelob Ultra, but since I'm being daring, I tried Michelob Ultra Pomegranate Raspberry, I'm a risk taker i know. the ultra pomegranate is a good starter beer for non drinkers because it has a fruity aftertaste. Next week I'll have to give more background information on the beers that I'm drinking. What I can say about it is that its a yellowish color and its light in calories (perfect for those watching their waistlines.) Moving on, I also tried Blue Moon. I know that the old saying is that you aren't supposed to fruit the beer, but I'm a frilly girly girl and Its blue moon so you're supposed to. The beer itself didn't really have a strong citrus taste, but the orange did enhance the flavor. the beer itself is more of an orangish tint. I apologize again that I don't have the specific details such as whether they are ales or lagers, but to be honest again, the bottle didn't tell me. Not to mention, I'm currently surrounded by 6 chatty Cathy's so my train of thought is constantly getting lost in the gabber. So perhaps I should let you know that I do plan on giving about 80% more information than this each week. My main resource is a book called Beer Tasting. Hopefully, reading the book will help me become more fluent in my beer drinking lingo. What did I gain from this first, chaotic week? I still don't prefer to drink beer, I'm sooo craving a mudslide, a grasshopper, a daquiri, or all of them but i've commited myself to beer. I've also learned that while fruity beers are probably a great transition for most nonbeer drinkers, If i must drink beer i'd rather drink regular michelob ultra.Most men say," DON'T FRUIT THE BEER! (its a man law)" and I actually have to agree, just don't fruit the beer it just doesn't do it for me so maybe the word man really stands for humankind. Its a humankind law. Oh my good gravy more people are coming in, i'm going to get off here and "enjoy" another beer! Cheers!

On your mark, get set, GO!

I am a 22 year old bartender. Do I drink? of course! Do I overly drink? not even close! What is my drink of choice? ANYTHING fruity, frozen, girly, frou-frou, or anything that does not taste remotely like alcohol. So what is the issue? MONEY! I am not just a 22 year old bartender, but I am also a 22 year old junior in college. In other words, I'm broke, only 99% of the time. The other problem? When guests come up to the bar and inquire about the varieties of beer that my company offers, a dazed and confused look comes over me, and finally I reply, "hang on, let me get the other bartender." ...yea, it is sad. So, I have found a solution to my problems, I must love beer. That may sound ridiculous, but think about it for a moment. A good cosmpolitan, or even better a belini martini can cost 8 dollars or more, easily. However, beer is usually significantly cheaper, and maybe establishments offer 2 for 1 deals. Also, if I could acquire a love for beer, I could save even more money by just going to ABC and buying a case or beer and staying home. One might say, but you can make your frou-frou frilly drinks at home too! Ah, yes! BUT, they never taste the same, and bottles of liquor are pricey. Thus, I begin my adventure, or better yet, my quest(!) to acquire the love of beer. I will first start with something easy such as ciders or fruity beers and my hope is to make it all the way to the infamous stout. Along the way, I will be researching the history and different varieties of beer, offering background information, my weekly experiences, and of course my own personal reviews of popular and not so popular beer selections. Hopefully, this will work out, and then maybe after all is said and done, i will have one less reason to become dazed and confused, because believe me, I get dazed and confused entirely too often!
