Why?

I'm not always sure that my brain is wired correctly. I have a strange gift (some call it a curse) of being able to connect seemingly random items together. My free word association and stream of consciousness often connects phrases with words, words with old school hip hop lyrics and lyrics with bad movies. At times I wonder if I have trouble making new memories - most of my cultural references are stuck in the 80s and 90s and are often connected to old school hip hop. This is my curse. The Curse of the Gers. Adding to the curse - a gift from my wife on the 1,001 beers to try before you die. I doubt she expected me to try them all. That is now an addition to my quest. So, add some alcohol to my random pop-culture linkages.

Stupid Cold

So, I was on a great start to the year - knocking off beers on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.  Then...BOOOM...a cold.  Thank you Mr. Sam for passing off all of your day care germs.  I've been struggling with it for over a week - tough to taste beers while you are swigging Nyquil.  So, I took a few days off to actually sleep and attempt to rid myself of the phlegm. It took a while.  So, I cracked a tall boy tonight after another good visit to Wegman's and their expansive beer collection.  All credit to Sam, he needed an afternoon activity, so I took him there and loaded up on some beers.

Here's what we got:

Reissdorf Kolsch (Rating = 4.0)
In the book, this is categorized as a blond.  It was really nice - an easy to drink, tasty one.  I'd do this one again.  Not too much to say about it really.  Those Germans can really make good beer.

Beers Down: 70
Beers to go: 931
