The Learning Process
There is a great learning curve when it comes to beer and beer tasting. Having grown up always thinking that all beer was the same, I have been on a very interesting path of learning. My friend Brandon has been a great teacher, he has been very patient when it comes to answering my questions, tasting with me, challenging my views and giving me resources.
As with most things I want to be an expert now and that just does not work with beer the same way it does not work with anything else in life. So I have set about to just drink beer, learn to taste it, really taste it, the subtle differences in hops, and malts. To look at the color and smell the florals of the hops. In the past, I just drank the beer out of the bottle, but I have spent time learning which glass and why. I am enjoying the learning, and hope that I can help other women enjoy the same.
I will start posting some of the beers I have been drinking and who I think they taste. What I like about them and what you might. As well I have had a few that I did not like. I will learn from my mistakes and I am sure I will be challenged by many, especially my friend and mentor, Brandon.
