Went home
from work to get ready for the PT beer tasting party. Mary B and Frank M were the
first to arrive, but had to go home to get their beer mugs. Pam B came, and Janis
and Bob S arrived with a crockpot of hot dogs cooked in beer with barbecue sauce.
People were getting thirsty, so we went ahead and started the beer tasting,
where I filled shot glasses marked with letters for a blind taste test. We had
plain popcorn to nibble between tastes. We started with three light beers and
Nordik Wolf was the most popular. The women who drank less beer preferred
Carling Black Label Light, and Amstel Light was in the middle. We tried two
ales, Molson and Bass Pale Ale. Sort of a split with Molson ale lovers being
faithful. Then the lagers Augsburger versus Watney’s. Close, but Watney’s won.
Then two more lagers, Harp and Coors; Harp won by a long shot.
Mary and Frank came back as we started the beers,
and Gerald G arrived. Bev B and her friend, Nancy, came, and a bit later Lorna and Michael B.
So we went through the blind test again, then got out the malt liquors; Molson
Brador and Carlsberg Elephant. No clear winner, but people had their favorite.

Kent started grilling hamburgers, and there were the hot dogs in beer, plenty
of munchies and M&Ms. Wayne K, then Karen C arrived, and the taste test was
done for them. Wayne had brought an old Lone Star beer, and we could “match”
Carta Blanca and Dos Equis, the amber beers. "Dallas" came on TV, and some people
sat to watch, while others stayed in the kitchen for beer trivia.

After the TV
show, we had the “most unique T-shirt contest,” and Michael won with his “I
came here only to drink beer” T-shirt that had a scale of how many beers were
needed to the “time to pee” level.

We played Trivial Pursuit with the girls vs
the guys, and we had some easy questions to keep the game interesting, but the
guys did win. The exodus began at midnight.
