Something weird has been going on lately. Sarah seems to have lost a bit of her usual disgust for beer. She can even drink cheap beer, which is a big step. The other day, we tried this Banana Bread Beer, which might be making her transition to beer drinker a bit too easy. It really does smell and taste like banana bread, well banana bread and beer.

Welcome to Westervin’s first e-tasting! The main purpose of these posts is to give everyone a reason to really taste!
Remember though, this is a very informal tasting, any thoughts are welcome. I certainly am not claiming a lot of knowledge here, just an interest in learning. I’m hoping that some of you would like to learn along with me.

Since Sarah H. was the first to weigh in with a suggestion, we’ll be tasting some brown ales next week. Now the difficulty with an e-tasting is that not everyone has access to the same brands of beer, so I’ll try to come up with a few options, but don’t limit yourself. If you find another brown ale, buy it and bring it along to the e-tasting.
I got a few books recently, one of which, Tasting Beer, has inspired me to, well, taste beer. You should, too. Let’s have a tasting party. An e-tasting party.

Remember you can be a tasting novice or pro, it doesn’t matter. Heck, you don’t even have to like beer. If you think beer tastes like cardboard, let us know, just make sure you tell us what kind of cardboard it tastes like—is there lots of Sharpie-scrawl, packing tape astringency, unbalanced corrugation?
