Beer.
by Katie
My neighbors are having a fancy beer party tonight, which sounds fun, except for the fact that I don’t know anything about beer, other than, “If I can afford it, it tastes like ball sweat.”
Thank God for the internet!
Legends of Beer is a blog about… beer! With… reviews. And wikiHow is teaching me how to “enjoy the taste of beer,” a phrase I personally have never uttered.
Of course, step one of the wiki is, “Learn about beers,” but it’s a little late for that. So I asked some people I know who drink beer.
A dude I know who is in a fraternity (cough cough) recommended Hefeweisen, a wheat beer with a lighter taste that might not gross out a cranberry vodka girl like myself. But my beer-swilling female friends warned me that Hefeweisen is “girly” beer. “Do you WANT to look girly?” But, they said, I should drink something I like, even if that meant girly beers.
“But I don’t know what I like, aside from ‘not Natty Ice”. That’s why I’m asking your opinions!”
“WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON’T KNOW? WHAT HAVE YOU TRIED? NOTHING? GOD!”
Their consensus was that I shouldn’t buy beer if I don’t like beer, otherwise I won’t enjoy it. But they already yelled at me for not trying a variety of beers. WTF?
Should I just go to Liz’s friend’s party instead? She has Guitar Hero!
1) Your beer swilling girl friends who think Hefeweisen is a “girly” beer are also the same people who think Coors Light is a quality beer.
2) GUITAR HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!
They definitely don’t drink Coors Light. They like, um, Blue Moon? You forget that we’re grownups with disposable income and that my friends like to drink beer.
