The ales are definitely my favorites -- especially Sierra Nevada and Flying Dog. Not too good for my waist line though.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15978016568840318921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3858636945560489201.post-63420992281056051082008-11-16T11:28:00.000-08:002008-11-16T11:28:00.000-08:00Hey, Bob...

It used to be available only around San Francisco, and I first tasted in in Monterrey in 1976. My North Dakota bar, "Frenchy's (Home of the Fighting Sioux)" was pretty much tied into tap beer of the Bud and Miller varieties. My beer taste has changed, somewhat, since then. Favorite? Stella Artois.<BR/><BR/>Pam, you can get foo foo fruit beers at the Florida breweries. But I'm guessing a Margarita or Pina Colada might go down just a little better!<BR/><BR/>quidquidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06954222271507913856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3858636945560489201.post-26981140773761601242008-11-16T09:07:00.000-08:002008-11-16T09:07:00.000-08:00I love it, too, Quid!

How did I miss this on PS??? <BR/><BR/>I don't think you give too much credit to what you learned of the human experience from bar tending. <BR/><BR/>As you indicated, I think we learn more about people when we see them as they really are, not as they wish to be seen.<BR/><BR/>I also agree that we learn more about the human condition when we venture outside our comfort zone or our smallest life circle and really see the unfiltered human experience<BR/><BR/>The beer photo, I'm afraid, is out of my "taste" zone. My 'buds' lean more toward the foo-foo drinks. I see tiny umbrellas! :)Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17133743056974995270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3858636945560489201.post-30620870660383016442008-11-16T07:01:00.000-08:002008-11-16T07:01:00.000-08:00I love this!

I missed it on PS so glad you put it here.<BR/><BR/>And the photo of that beer looks delectable . . . a pale ale no doubt? <BR/><BR/>You learn so much working with people and especially when the people represent such a cross section of humanity. And really, I bet a lot of these people were a lot more interesting than the white-collar types in your offices over the years.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15978016568840318921noreply@blogger.com
