The surf club beer tasting was kindof bizarre I think, unless it could be chalked up to people who really don’t care at all about taste and just drink to drink. Even then….. water doesn’t taste ANYTHING like beer unless the beer isn’t really ‘beer’. The story really does break my heart.
Not saying this simply to pat myself on the back but at a family thanksgiving a few years ago one of the family set up a blind taste test of 5 beers. I was either just lucky or my years and years close to the wine world really gave me much more of an educated palate than I had imagined. I was able to name the type of all 5 beers without seeing a single beer or label.
