Winning a prize for tasting beer!

So, yesterday evening I won my very first BEER TASTING PRIZE. I am not kidding, you can also see it from the photo. The winner - me, receives a vinyl record with beautiful music composed by Antonín Dvořák. The judge, @godfish, but could be called GodBeer, or the God of the Beers, hands out to the winner the prestigious prize. It will be added to the collection of vinyl records of the Hive user who is writing these lines now. Hopefully, the vinyl will travel safely across three countries and arrive home in one piece.

Sitting by the God of the Beers, @honeydue is approving this important event, being the one who chose the prize. She could also feel how happy and proud the judge was, making two people (@ph1102 and myself) with the "we have never liked beer" attitude find a beer that they actually liked. Complete success! (The judge also deserves a prize for this!)

The beer on the left was the first one that @ph1102 got from the judge, and mine was the Maisel's Weissel - alkoholfrei version.

Once in the glass, the tasting stared. The first step was the smell. It was quite pleasant, a banana scent. Then, the next important step I had to do, not to disappoint our God of the Beers - was to have the first sip.

...

Wow, this beer is actually really tasty! I was surprised by my own reaction as I thought I would never be able to say such a thing. But for a good reason, the judge is the God of this drink; he knew I would like it.

Just in case, I made all the people from this little beer-tasting and awards ceremony sign a napkin before we started drinking our beers. Who knows how our handwriting would be after the drinks? 😂

Please, for further information about my beer, feel free to ask @godfish or read his latest post! 😁

We also ordered food, which was more than tasty. I started with a traditional goose soup, which was so delicious!

It is not polite to talk while you eat, so now I am going to be quiet and focus on our dinner.

Eating apple pie all by myself? 😱

Actually, focus on the food from the photos, because this happened last night in the wonderful city of Prague. How beautiful it is... we walked around all day with tour guides and learned a lot about the city's rich history. To close the day, the evening was perfect in the brewery, with these Hivers, beers, and food.

Later in the evening, we also tried a beer that tasted like coffee. This was a bit strong, but it wasn't an issue when I went to sleep. I slept like a baby after this long and tiring day, but happy with the mini Hive meetup, and happy to see the vinyl collections of @livinguktaiwan, @enraizar, and @bibana! Cheers!

P.S. Was it now a #beersaturday or #beerwednesday post? 😆

Hmm... you launch a vinyl collection initiative and now you win a vinyl record. Coincidence? I don't think so. Beers? Two, please hahaha 😂

Congratulations on that prize 😍 I hope it arrives safely at its destination! ❤️🦉

I don't think either that it was just a coincidence 😆, but a surprise it was indeed :))

We are heading to our next destination now, and later to another one 😂
It's a one-week travel adventure that started this Monday 😀

Sounds like a lot of fun. I’m starting to collect vinyl again and will be catching up with @steevc and @livinguktaiwan this Friday in London. Looking forward to it!

Hey! Congratulations! Who would have thought you'd win this honorable award? I'm so happy for you, my friend. I also used to say I didn't like beer, but believe me, there's always one that changes our minds. I love the name GodBeer, haha, it was the best part of this post...

Sending you a hug my friend, and also to my brother and boss @ph1102... I wish you all the best, and many happy moments to come 🍻

Haha, you know it was just for fun, right? 😆
GodBeer has a lot of knowledge about beer, when you talk to him it's like talking to a professional in thar field haha. He knew how to choose a beer for me, but I am not sure I can choose such a good one for myself. 😂
Thank you Jesús!!

Since you are not a beer connoisseur, you were hosted by an expert, with whom you 100% had a fantastic experience in that pub, in addition to a whole day's adventure 🙂
Was there any goose meat or just goose soup?

Yes, he is an expert, without any doubt. 🍻 and I was happy to taste a beer that I actually liked ;)))

There was also goose meet on the menu, yes

When there was no new wine, then goose meat, to honor St. Martin (Martinje) 🙂

Have you arrived in Krakow?
I can't wait to see "Kraljevstvo" from your point of view🙂

No, we are still not on Krakow, we have another stop 😉

I think they offered new wine as well, if I am not mistaken...but as my Czech language knowledge is equal to zero, I can't confirm that 😆

Prague, beer, a spectacular dinner and a vinyl record as a prize!!! Perfect match!!

I'll cast a spell and the record will arrive safe and sound.

Banana-flavoured beer??? I'm dying, I want that one, because I don't drink beer but I'd try it!!! Yes, yes, yes!!!

Thank you for the spell haha, it has to arrive home with me, to be added to the collection 😄

Yes, hahaha, it tasted like banana! @godfish knows to explain why, I just listened to him but then I got drunk (with zero alcohol hahaha) and forgot 🤪

Sharing a good lunch with friends and drinking beer was surely a very special moment for you. Congratulations on the award. I like beer but it would be good to try the banana one.
Happy weekend. a hug. 🥰
