I never really understood *beer*, and the whole mentality with it.
People love their beer. My SO loves dark beer from Europe, can't stand
American beer... My friend won't drink anything besides Molson Canadian...
When I was so much younger than I am now, I worked on my uncles fruit farm.
In August, after all the sorting of apples, pears 'n such, there would be
this pile of bad fruit in a bin, that would, sometime later, be spread out
in the orchard as fertilizer--but whilst it was sitting in the big ol' bin
in the back forty, it would have this awful smell if you got too close to it.
And that's what every beer I have ever come close to smells like to me.
Probably why I don't touch the stuff.
I just don't get it.
