Beer Tasting

I have enjoyed trying different beers over the years. To me, beer tasting is an adventure and a hobby. I really like going to my local store and picking out that special, cool, or different beer and bringing it home and popping tops and sipping, drinking and gulping.

I found some of the best beers by just hitting the shelves and experimenting. I have found beers that I like in styles I never thought I would have never tried. Some of the beers I find really are not that good however. I have come across some that just kick me in the ass. It’s not like the beers aren’t good. Really, they probably are awesome beers and have had very smart craft brewers making them. They just don’t appeal to my tastes.

Do you like to try beers too? Do you do any kind of beer tasting?

Beer

So I figured I would talk a little more about beer. Why not right?

I found some great beer blogs that taught me a lot about beer, but I really know what I like and that is what I pretty much stick with. I mostly like India Pale Ale beers. These are beers that are pretty amber in color but bare a very hopped flavor. Some of them almost make it seem like they can be a meal all their own. You can chew on these beers sometimes.

I like the Avery’s IPA a lot. I also thought Moylan’s Double IPA was decent too. Of course, there is always the Sierra Nevada which you can’t go wrong with.

If you like hoppy beers that have decent malt balance, then you would also like india pale ales.

Beer Music

Seriously, what kind of music goes best with a beer? You all should tell me.
I think it depends on what you have going on at the time. If I were really to sit down and think about it, I might come up with some of these ideas.
1) Corona Beer goes best in Summer.
2) India Pale Ales go good when it is cooler outside
3) Barley Wines are good for a creeping but strong buzz
4) American beers don’t fill you up
5) Belgian Style ales can serve as a drink and a meal in once shot
6) Saison style beers just suck
