When in Prague... .:. Ph’s meetups 🫂🍻

Now, when I look back, I have visited two most important beer cities in whole Europe, Munich, and yesterday, Prague! Also, I was living 17 years on the opposite side of the street where the biggest brewery in my country was situated! Maybe because of exactly that, I didn't like beer, and I never drank the whole glass (bottle)! I had a recent attempt 2 years ago, at my friend's house, when he offered me a "special beer", which I was sipping during a couple of hours... In the end, he couldn't watch me anymore and took the glass from me, and brought me a glass of wine... 😂

So, knowing all that, when I was talking with @godfish on the beer topic (Can he talk about something else at all? 😜) in Graz BuzzParty this year, he gave me hope that I could one day drink the whole glass of beer! By his words, no person dislikes beer; there are only people who haven't found the right taste! From that day, we had a mission... He was on a quest to find the "right beer" for me, and I was building up my confidence that I could do it! I can drink a glass of beer!

The first attempt was to drink the Dark Bohemian Lager... Well, that didn't go well... lol... I have tried dark beer in the past, and I didn't like it... Truth to be told, this one was much better, but I wouldn't describe it as a "beer that tastes like no-beer"... It was a proper beer! Btw. my tip for @godfish was that I don't like the bitter taste of beer and that was the reason why I was sceptical about beers in the first place! How could I like some beer if I don't like the taste of beer?

Well, I was wrong! My main mistake was that I had tried only those "industrial", corporate beers, and not crafted beer at all! I didn't know that there are many different tastes of beer and not just one, the most familiar to everyone!

As the first attempt didn't pass, I was offered other alternatives that were on the table... The idea was to try every beer if it's needed until I found one that I like... In the meantime, @godfish sacrificed himself to drink all those that I dislike... Poor guy... You can see on his face, in the photo above, how he was struggling with every beer... 😂

In the end, it looks like I have found one beer that I like (for now 😃)! The one that @honeydue is holding is the one! The Plum and Cinnamon Sour beer! I didn't even know that combination like that exists! But the taste was perfect! Completely different than the dark beer, as it was made from different ingredients, with a different brewing method! (Of course, our host explained to us the process from A to Z!)

All in all, we had an awesome meetup last evening/night... From the full bar, until being almost the last ones to leave! So much fun, so many great stories told, and a promise of meeting again, in Alicante, Spain, next year... The latest... Until then, who knows... We could meet again earlier... easily... The world is small, and there are plenty of breweries around the world... Now that I know that the beer I like exists, I can continue the search for the second one... 😃

Cheers!!! 🍻🍻🍻🍻

Thank you for your time.
