it's always eye-opening to see how much has changed on campus between our visits, and how much i feel like i belong, while recognizing that i really don't fit at all anymore. the students always get younger and younger (haha) and familiar places are no longer really mine.
well, now that i have bummed you all out, i'm going to end on a fun, college-y note. as i've mentioned before, i'm not much of a beer drinker. for obvious reasons, this trait did not serve me well during college...
the only beer drink i've ever liked. the pink bulldog from blockheads in nyc. |
lindeman's framboise lambic
i have fallen in love with this beer. (though, i guess you can barely call it a beer...) it's delicious, not-too-sweet and has lovely raspberry overtones. bonus: it comes in an extra large bottle : )
woodchuck hard cider
with a variety of awesome flavors from granny smith to pear to caramelly dark & dry, this bev is sure to have a flavor to delight any preference.
magner's irish cider
our friends introduced us to this one, so i can't take the credit. this cider is even drier/less sweet than woodchuck, which i appreciate. an awesome option for any non-beer drinker. and (bonus), the bottle isn't cutesy - it looks totally legit!
the above options all offer the crisp, refreshing qualities of beer without any of the "hoppiness", which is what i tend to dislike.
so, mavens, enlighten me...do you have any other not-too-girly beer-type beverages i should try?
happy weekend!
I am the same way- I cannot stand the taste of beer! And I hate how bloated it makes me feel too...Blahh. I usually just drink my bottle of pinot grigio and don't even attempt to fit in with the beer drinkers! Hahah
ReplyDeletemmm frambroise is THE BEST! i love that stuff. and i like hard cider (especially strongbow!) i also will drink bud light lime...but thats about it when it comes to beer. xoxo jillian:: cornflake dreams
ReplyDeletethe pink bulldog looks intriguing!
ReplyDeletethank you so much for the huge compliment on my header - i did make it myself! it absolutely made my day to read your comment :) thank you!
The only beer I ever drank was IPA's and after I learned how many calories they have - well, that kinda ruined it for me... Im a wine girl all the way... xoxo from Trinidad
ReplyDeleteThe peach version of that lambic (check Trader Joe's) is awesome too! Enjoy your trip!! :)
ReplyDeleteSea Dog Blueberry and Apricot might be good options for you! :) I stay away from IPAs and Stouts but I've managed to grow to love other beers! Cider is my favorite (of course) -- and maaaaybe you'd like a pumpkin seasonal that is out right now... give it a try at least!
