“I don’t like beer.”  “I’m not a beer drinker.”  “I only drink wine.”  These are some of the common phrases I hear on a regular basis during our Friday tastings at MOC. Usually, but not always, it’s women who tell me they don’t like beer. Is it because “beer” is synonymous with Bud, Busch, Coors and the like? Don’t get me wrong, if that’s your taste, great. But there is definitely more to beer.
 
“WOW, that’s great!” “Is that really beer?” “I guess I do like beer.”  These are some of the common phrases I hear after they try some unique-tasting beers. To name just a few: Cantillon Kriek with its sour, complex cherry flavors; Duchesse de Bourgogne with its elegant earthy, cidery, wine qualities; Ommegang’s Chocolate Indulgence, rich with a subtle chocolate finish; Bosteel’s Tripel Karmeliet, fruity, sweet, spicy and smooth; and Dieu du Ciel Rosee D’Hibiscus with it’s beautiful color, soft and floral, subtle perfume – it’s just plain sexy.
 
There are so many world-class brews out there that span a vast range of flavor and complexity. There’s surely something for everyone, even those who, “don’t like beer.”  Be adventurous. Try something new. Be one of those who exclaim, “WOW! Now, that’s a great beer!”
 
Ask one of our beer pros to guide you to just the right brew for your taste buds. Remember, too, that beer goes with food, just like wine.

Cheers!
