Beer-a-Day #3
I guess it’s Barley Wine week.
I’ve never had this before, in spite of being a big Brooklyn Brewery fan.
Nice medium-brown color with some slight red highlights. Off-white head that settles into about an eighth of an inch of foam. Bready with a bit of floral spice. Flavor is biscuity and a little harsh, though not unpleasantly so. This one seem like it could do with some time to mellow. I have another bottle that I’ll save at least halfway through the year, but I’ll try to hold off until the end of ’09.
My initial thought was that it can easily be done. Just like slugging a gallon of milk or or eating 10 crakers in a minute without water. I think 365 beers is way harder than it sounds. I think I would have to come up with a beer drinking schedule. Beer for breakfast anyone? I’m pretty active so I think I would have to keep a beer in my bag at all times. How about 365 different beers? I think that would be damn near impossible. How can you even plan for that? I would like to give it a shot but I would gain 50 lbs. and become an alcoholic.
