Thirsty, that’s what we are. Wanting to imbibe. But the Acadiana Center for the Arts beerfest has got me stuck like a mule between two haystacks. I’m a tippler paralyzed between 90 beer taps. Ninety. Count’em. How can one drinker possibly try to discern between 90 tastes of beer?
If you want to try to create a strategy for tasting, here’s the list of marvelous malt and happy hops.
