Mixing it Up...

Last night was movie night on the Terrace - CLUELESS :) Great movie that makes me feel like not as big of a ditz as I come off (and a fantastic driver!! :b)

The movie was done relatively early, so we had plenty of time to hang out at Brat's for the Beer Exchange. A lesson I learned is you should never have four different beers in one night. Bleh. This morning my tummy wasn't very happy (luckily I was more tired than hungover!) With most drink specials you end up drinking the same type of drink, but with the Beer Exchange, you're drinking the cheapest beer for that 20 minutes. I started with a Miller Lite, went on to the new New Glarus (it was lighter as well), then had a Spotted Cow, and ended the night with a game of darks and the Capital Island Wheat. What a mixture of beers - mostly lighter, but different enough. I recommend the Spotted Cow, as well as the Island Wheat. The other New Glarus beer was like any other light beer, but it left a weird after-taste, so I would choose one of the other ones instead.

The wide array of beers is definitely an added benefit of living in Madison. There are so many local breweries with different types of beers, and many bars have them on tap. Always fun to try something new. I have yet to go on a brewery tour, but maybe I'll get one of those in before the end of the summer. It seems like it'd be fun, especially if there are free samples :)

Now it's nappy nappy time - five hours of sleep is just not enough for me anymore :-/ When did I get so old??

I agree that Spotted Cow is my fave of the Madison area beers. Yumm-o.

I feel you on the getting old issue. I don't know how that happens so fast.
