No drinking on a skool nite...

except when you get an invite to a free beer tasting evening... Tuesday nite we went down to Generous Squire's in the city for their members only beer tasting evening (sounds elite.. it's not ... anyone can join... even odd australians who refer to themselves as psycho, wear hats at jaunty angles, refuse to drink 'black beer' and remind me of peter andre)... Anyways... back to the beer.. so the evening was a battle of the something or other.. it was some pun on something to do with rugby... oh, or maybe football... but basically it was NZ vs Australia in 3 beer categories, lager, ale and stout.... Surprisingly, R had never been to a beer tasting before.. and we both learnt a lot. Firstly, no spitting it out, beer tasters swallow... which means i did get a lil' tipsy... (it did start at 5.30pm).. but we learnt about clarity, identifying the aroma, what to look for in taste in the different styles of beer... and then they all blended into one, and we ate some free pizza, which i spilt down R's work trousers. oops, and then, what was meant to be a lil' early evening of free entertainment, turned into 1 more, and then 2 more and then oops, missed the train, best have another, missed the next train and got a taxi home. I had a killer headache the next morning but got to stay in bed, poor R cycled to work and had a kebab for lunch.
