I like beer. But I don't know exactly why, or what the myriad of beer choices mean in terms of taste. Like with wine, I taste, I like/don't like and don't take the time to note or remember what or why, so every day is like a new day.
My friend Meg, mostly doesn't like beer. But some, she does like. And she doesn't know why she likes the ones she does, and finds the others noxious. Tasting beer is a game of Russian roulette for her.
So we're the perfect pair to go on a mini-tour of micro breweries and brew pubs here in Michigan. Of course we could go anywhere, since brewing is enjoying a renaissance, but, there are lots and lots of choices nearby and so for a big upcoming "0" birthday (no I'm not disclosing which one...) we're going to take about a week and travel around tasting beers and learning about them. We'll also see some sights, and record what we encounter in a blog we'll set up.
This will all occur in August - about three months from now. So if anyone has tips, tasting techniques, or any other sage advice about our efforts, please share. It's designed to be fun, but we also want to come out of it wiser about beer. As we get closer to the trip date we'll post more details including a map so if anyone wants to follow along, they can.
Cheers!
