Drinking my way to good health

..and spirits (needless to say..) - was able to get rid of an annoying cold (at the outset of Spring) by drinking beer...lots of it! No am not gonna get into the medical uses of beer..

Brewtopia - Craft's Beer Festival last weekend was an evening very well spent - breweries from all over showing off their stuff. I had subjected myself to Pavlovian experiments by beer-starving myself for 3 weeks straight and then letting myself loose at the beer fest (yes, there was some salivating involved). Tasting glass in hand, the beer connoiseur in me was in fine form from 6pm to 10pm - through 25-30 glasses of fine beer! Favorites? Best beer of the night was this one called Mojo (India Pale Ale) - had a slight citrus flavor about it that I absolutely loved! Another non-beer drink was honey-wine - that's right - aka 'nectar of the Gods' - made not from grapes, but by fermenting honey - I thought it was awesome (but again, beyond a point that evening most things were AWESOME) - check out LIMeadery.

The place was packed initially with the white frat-boy crowd (never losing a single chance to let out a scream YAAAAAY, in an overt, albeit unwarranted, show of masculinity), but it thinned down after 8pm (considering the first glass broke in the hall at 7pm, not everyone can drink for 4 hours straight like yours truly - modesy be damned!), the live music was quite good, the women only got better as the evening progressed - good times..
