Beer Tasting
“Local Microbreweries often offer free tours with beer tasting afterwards. If there’s no brewery near you, throw your own tasting party by buying some of those weird new beers whose taste you’ve been wondering about, and making homemade pretzels (simple recipes can be found with just a bit of research). Buy a couple of different mustards to put on the fresh pretzels and ta dah! You’ve got your own beer and mustard tasting party (though preferably not mixed together).”
We will be opting for the at home party for a number of reasons:
1. My husband hates beer, however, he has agreed to sample a new variety in the event that he finds something that suits his taste. I can’t tell if he’s starting to develop a complex about ordering girlie drinks in public. For instance, on our last date, we ate at a the bowling alley sports bar. I ordered a Shocktop while he requested an apple martini. I mean, nothing will make a guy bowl a 300 quite like an apple martini, but nevertheless, it is time to broaden the horizons.
2. Those apple martinis are getting expensive!
3. He and I are lightweights– better stick close to home.
4. No childcare.
5. Said children wake up at 7am regardless of whether or not mommy and daddy host a beer tasting the night before.
I can’t wait to see how this date turns out.
