Last night my uncle offered to share his Schlitz Malt Liquor with me. Sad to say, but I had to decline. I know I have a lot of beers to go before I reach my goal, but I WILL NOT drink malt liquor! I know... I shouldn't be a snob, but c'mon son... MALT LIQUOR! What am I? A 60-year-old man? Don't get me wrong. I've had my share of Smirnoff Ice and Skyy Blues back in the day, but the thought of it now makes my stomach turn.
So, we went to the website (yes, they have a website) and discovered that Schlitz has other flavors of this "beverage". Bull Ice-Ice Malt Liquor, Red Bull-Xtra Long Malt Liquor, Malt Liquor-Original Malt Liquor, and High Gravity-Very Smooth Lager. Word??? Anyway...With a very little encouragement, my uncle is now on a mission to try all four flavors. Shout out to my Uncle Jerald for being an el' cheapo and my Schlitz for making his nights more enjoyable!
On the double down side... Gotta go back to work tomorrow after four days off. I hope everyone has a great work week! If your team/school loss this weekend, hold your head high in the office tomorrow. Your co-workers are probably bandwagoners or victims... I mean alumni of Wherethehelldidyougo University? Drink responsibly and ROLL TIDE!!!!
Here is the website if you want to check it out and expand your palet...

Trapped...
The Place: Beer Trape, Lexington, KY
My Peep: Elizabeth R.
The Beer: Ayinger Brau Weisse (#47)
The description mentioned said it has a distinct banana aroma flavor and that it will impress every wheat beer connoisseur with the first mouthful. Sounds like a winner! I am not a wheat beer connoisseur, but this beer was pretty good. Full of flavor and fruity as promised. I would recommend it my girl friends that wants to try beer, but don’t want the "expected" taste.
I loved the Beer Trappe! It was my paradise! It was cozy and very friendly. You can buy beer from all over the world! From Banana Bread to (what may have been) 3 Amigos. Definitely a "go to" when I go back to Lex! I give the beer and the place a BIG THUMBS UP! So good I almost forgot to take the thumbs up pick...
O.A.N. Went out for a beer and dessert run with a friend tonight on my last full day in Chatt. I'm looking at the menu and... DUN DUN DUUUUUN... I've had every beer on the menu. Ugh! Sad day on the tour. I had to settle for old faithful Bud Light. The beers (yeah, I had two) hit the domestic spot. Note to self: Don't rely on Chili's or any other commercial eatery to help me on my quest. See what I mean? Trying new beers isn't alway ease. Learn from my mistakes. Oh well... Other than this mishap and Bama losing to The Trailer Park Nation (Auburn) my Thanksgiving break has been alright, but I am soooo ready to go back to my own space...

The start of an adventure...
Drinking 184 beers in 4 years no sweat right? Wrong! Do you know how hard it is the go to a common restaurant that has beer menu with more than Bud, Miller, and Corona? Sometime it is a big challenge, believe it or not. I started this blog to show my adventures in beer. My personal goal is to drink 184 beers before I turn 30. Totaling in 204 beers in my lifetime. Hopefully my blog will inspire people to achieve their own personal goals and encourage more people (especially women) to drink beer. I will be posting my beer picks, pics, comments and a maybe funny story or two if its a good day. I'm not trying to be the next Michael Jackson (Beer Hunter not King of Pop), but maybe my blog will be handy to someone in the future. Ready? Cheers!!!!
