Trying new things

[gridlore]

As moist people know, I tend to drink Budweiser. It's cheap, tasty, and after four or five I can feel a good buzz but can drink less and still enjoy the taste. I've also never been really big on heavier English and Irish beers that many of my friends swear by. Just too bitter and heavy for me.

But at Costco last weekend I spotted Gordon Biersch's Spring Variety 24 pack. Maibock (a seasonal beer), Blonde Bock, Czech Style Pilsner, and Märzen. I've had all but the Maibock, and enjoyed them all. A little on the bitter side, so I may keep buying some Budweiser as a "beer on a hot day" type of drink, but very happy with this experiment.

Sam Adams finally managed to make a beer I like. (In addition to MGD and Bud, I like Belgian Style White ales). Their Summer Ale is super nummy. If you like white ales, I recommend Blue Moon, HOWEVER, their Honeymoon, summer ale is way too sweet!
Just saying.
