So we had this beer tasting event at our house last Friday.
It was pretty darn fun. I learned that I like specific types of beer - and when contrasting it against other really good beers, I was honing in on my taste.
As far as the competition went, I brought the winner! It was Full Moon Pale Ale. I always liked Blue Moon - this is just a Seasonal Winter brew. Thinking it would be especially good for it being a blind taste test - yet I barely won. Nobody gave it extreme praise, but it was tasty and drinkable enough for most everybody to not give it a bad grade. My personal favorite was the "La Fin Du Monde" - which I've had before at the Metropolian in Federal Hill before it burned down (but has since reopened!). I think the Du Monde finished 3rd - behind the close placed 2nd of Stella Arquois.
One of the participants at the beer tasting had a conversation with Baltimore Sun Beer Blogger, Rob Kasper - and decided to feature our little event in his publication.
