I remember having my first adult beverage in high school. I tasted beer and immediately spit it out. I proceeded to drink Mike's Hard Lemonade for the rest of the night, and Andrea had to rescue me. I've never been able to drink a full beer... I've always liked pretty, fruity, girly drinks, and beer doesn't really fit that description. I'll take a bottle of wine, champagne, malt beverage, or mixed drink any day over a beer. My girlfriends and I would get into lots of trouble in college, playing flip cup with sour apple martinis. Over the past decade, my sips of beer here and there probably haven't even amounted to a six-pack.
So, I met up with some friends in Hartford last night. I told Alli, Dan, and Tucker my plan... I was only allowed to drink beer the entire night. No wine. No Madras. No Cosmopolitan. No Twisted Tea. Just beer. Black Bear was having a 2 for 1 special on my first beer of the night: Sam Summer. The verdict? It tasted a lot like beer. I eventually finished it and moved onto my next one... Stella. The Stella wasn't too bad. I actually finished it in no time at all. After our 2nd round of drinks, we went to the Russian Lady. They didn't have Stella, so I tried a Corona. I was hopeful that the lime in the Corona would make the beer taste like a shot. Nope, not so much. I probably finished half of it before setting it down on a table and walking away. The last beer I tried was a Blue Moon. Again, not really a fan. I think after three sips, I left it on the bar. Oh, well. At least I know I can tolerate a Stella. Maybe I'll learn how to funnel that next.
