Beer-tasting party

Bier-gustumadoAlisa and I were invited to a beer-tasting party at Mary Carey's house and had a nice time. There were around 30 people packed into the dining room. I was pleased to find a spot at the back of the room, where I could sit and chat with people quietly, out of the sturm und drang of the party.

We tasted 11 different kinds of beers, with a winter or holiday theme. A number of them were weird things, with raspberry or chocolate, but a few were just good beer. The Samuel Smith Winter Ale came out on top after the voting. Or some chocolate thing, depending on how you counted the votes, apparently. Alisa rather liked a raspberry lambic beer. It figures.
