beer without the beer
April 29th, 2007so tonight i stopped by the supermarket to buy some sunday night beer - i know, i’ve really taken to the stuff since i was first introduced to it a couple of months ago. see, give me a web app and i’m a total early adopter, like a magpie with something really shiny and new. give me beer however and it took 7 years after the legal age of consent to have my first one…. way late!
as i came through the checkout and paid i remember thinking to myself that it seemed quite expensive, but as i’m no expert, assumed i must have been wrong. when i got home and had taken a couple of sips, it didn’t quite taste right, but i still couldn’t put my finger on what it was…
after closer inspection - i spotted it - flipping alchohol free beer. firstly, why would you, it appears to have the same calories as normal beer and secondly i paid more for it! i’m completely flabbergasted?!?
i’m off to drink my beer-ish tasting liquid, but i hope you’ve got the real stuff.

Ah Mel, you are indeed unpracticed in the art of beer drinking. You have much yet to learn… I can show you the way.
