I Choose the Wimpy Beer
After 36 years of sobriety, and four months of trying around 11 different drinks, the only one that I've liked is Framboise, a beer made with raspberries. It has a slightly tart, slightly sweet, slight bitter taste. It's like drinking a cranberry Martinellis.
I picked up a bottle for myself and the in-laws. This is a big step, the first time I've drank alcohol inside the house with My Lovely Wife around (my previous attempt to try a Guinness was not successful, as it was gross). Naturally I'd only do so if My Lovely Wife (MLW) hadn't given me like 30 statement of "you know, I really don't mind."
For my first at-home with family drink, it hasn't been the greatest success. First, I didn't know I'd need a corkscrew. Had to go borrow one from the neighbors. Then I poured myself and my brother-in-law a glass. I enjoyed the flavor, the nice fizziness.
Then my brother-in-law did a little looking, and realized that that Framboise doesn't list the alcohol content. Because it hardly has any at all.
So it turns out the only beer that I liked - has almost no alcohol.
UPDATE: Turns out that it has 4% alcohol content. So, um, it's at least man enough beer to be illegal in Utah.
