Verdict - Wow. This beer's flavors are hard for me to describe, but I know I like them. It's the first time I think I've had a beer that tasted this "floral" and I'm really enjoying it. I will officially be dubbing this beer my favorite brew to come out of France. Delicious.

Whaaa? What's going on? A beer tasting?

OK, hold on. Let me try my best Keanu Reeves impression: "Whoa..." That's it, folks. How did I do?

Where did the last 2 months go so quickly? I guess I may have been just a tiny bit busy and didn't maintain my blog, facebook, or twitter. Oops...

Well, I return with a fun and (hopefully) rewarding post for you. Tomorrow, I will be pouring samples of some delicious brews at the Hastings Coborn's Liquor. Which beers will be present? Hmmm... I don't know. ;) You may just have to show up to find out!

From 4:30 - 8:30pm, I'll be spreading the beer love in the southeast metro. Stop on by after work (or before work, whatever works) and try some tasty beers that you may have never sampled before. If you show up, you won't regret it. I promise. Plus, you can talk beer with me, which will be awesome (I hope).

Here's the reiteration: Tomorrow (Friday, January 25th) - Mystery beer tasting - Hastings Coborn's Liquor - 4:30 to 8:30pm - It will be a good time!

Hope to see you there!
