Beer Is A Wonderful Thing

Beer is cheap. It tastes better than wine, and its easier to order because there aren't 7 million different varieties with names that tell you absolutely NOTHING about how it might taste. I like beer. At least...I'm learning to like it. Mixed drinks are still my favorite. But beer is a close second! lol

Way back in December I signed up to do Beer Tasting: Culture Through a Beer Mug. Well last night was our first session, and we went to the Nørrebro Bryghus, which is a small microbrewery in the center of Copenhagen. We tasted four different types of beer over the course of an hour and a half & got a lesson in the history of beer, as well as how to brew it.

Chicas IPA: Indian Pale Ale, obv.

Lil' Granja Stout: smells & tastes EXACTLY like coffee

Ravnsborg Rød: malt beer

New York Lager











So that was our first lesson in beer. I learned lots of cool things that I definitely didn't know before. lol. Can't wait til our next session, we're doing a pub crawl!

After that, my friends & I checked out the first BLUS meeting of the semester (Copenhagen's GSA), then proceeded to make our way to The Living Room and The Happy Pig for more drinks. In total, I had 4 beers, 2 shots, & 2 mixed drinks. And yet I didn't even have a buzz going. But at least I found two new places to go! =]
