A Celebration of Beer

Every now and then I feel the need to celebrate the humble beer. My first beer was an ice cold Schlitz. It was awful. I might have been 16 at the time and decided I could live quite nicely without ever having another sip of that foul stuff.


Later in life (18) I decided beer wasn’t that awful. After all, I was a poor college kid and all the other poor college kids were drinking it. Brand didn’t matter back then; I drank whatever was available.

For many years I was a Coors Lite drinker. I just thought all beer tasted that way. Then someone introduced me to Shiner. Oh my! Before long I was drinking all sorts of beers and discovering a world of different textures and flavors.

I’m still a wine girl, but sometimes this wine girl likes a really good beer.

  1. You should seek out a beer named ‘St Omer’ – brewed in Northern France and at 5% a little on the strong side yet sublime to the taste buds. If you do spot do make sure it’s brewed in France as ‘under licence’ always is a ruination…a little like the abortion that is Stella Artois (a Belgium number) that is often brewed under licence in the UK and suffers for that! This post reminds me that I must bring back my character, ‘Auntie Shirl the Lager Girl – advising beer drinkers since 1984’! She’s a agony aunt type!
