I suppose I have a bit of the dramaturg in me. I like to research things. I'm researching Beer for work. I know very little about beer. I can talk wine for days, especially Washington wines but beer. It's a strange new world. Working at a place like Hop's which has over 100 different wines there's a lot of research to do. So the last few days I've been chipping away at the list... So far I've accomplished the 16 listed Montana Beers which translates to 8 pages of notes. There are beers in other catagories, World, California, Belgium, Mexico, Oregon & Washington, Wisconsin, United Kingdom, Germany and Austria. There is everything from small craft breweries that haven't even been listed on Beer Advocate yet, to ..... Coors, Miller, Bud and Pabst (all with very poor ratings I might add on BA) ... I'm rather surprised they don't have Shlitz (that's my grandfather's favorite for some obscure reason). It's a classy establishment so I'm rather surprised these are on the list.... I mean its rather like going to a place and having that awful jugged wine (I don't even know the name of it... wine snob that I've become... I run the other way) isn't it? I don't know. I don't know beer culture.
Novice as I am... they do have my favorite Gouden Carolus Tripel (Belgian) and my Pike Kilt Lifter Scotch Ale. Yay!
