It’s good to have a mission.  The mission, of course (because I decided to accept it) is to drink 200 different beers.  It is because I have a mission that I went to the Saucer alone.  Never in my life have I went to a bar, alone, for the purpose of drinking.  It’s easier to give yourself permission to get out of your comfort zone when you have a mission.  Plus the saucer is more the atmosphere of a restaurant.

I generally peruse the website before I go to see what I want to try.  This is also helpful because you need to print out a “chit” which has a bar code that the waitress scans so your account gets properly credited.  You can print the chit there, but why not over-achieve when you can?

On the menu tonight was a Breckenridge Ophelia and an Oak Highlands AllGood.  Again, two wheat beers.  And again, advice from my AWESOME brother who said “You can’t drink all the ones you know you will like in the beginning because the end will be hard.”

I picked the Breckenridge Ophelia solely because of the name.  Ophelia.  It made me think of the Vince Gill song Ophelia from the movie Maverick.  “….why would anybody leave so quickly, Ophelia where have you gone?”  The Oak Highlands was a recommendation from the waitress.  “It’s a local” she said.  I’ll have to research that and see how local.

Maybe dark beers next week?
