When I returned home yesterday evening I rushed to my computer (as one does) to see what was going on on Steemit. And here it was, waiting for me, ’s latest idea : A seven day beer challenge! 😫
You may ask ‘why the face?’ Well, because of this:
As for Abi, I think she hates beer
This is what he wrote on his post. He knows this, he knows I am busy at the moment; yet, he nominates me to a challenge that calls for purchasing and tasting seven beers on seven different days. 😒
Then I asked him frustrated “how can you do this to me?” only to hear his reply “have some fun woman”! Now, is one of my oldest buddies here on Steemit – from when I started ! - and we care a lot about each other. So, this is the only reason why I said yes to him. Can’t wait to see the end of this! 😌
Anyways ...
These are the rules I will have to keep in mind (or not 😉)
- You have to try a new beer every day, for 7 days
- The beer must be something you have never tasted before
- You must put a photo of the beer and write a few words about it
- Nominate someone every day
- If you are a social outcast with no friends to invite you just join the fun. You have every excuse to drink!
- Use the tag "#sevendaybeerchallenge" as one of your five tags.
For me to comply with rule number 2, I could just close my eyes and pick up any beer in the supermarket, really. Because I have never drunk beer in my life. Still, because today is Monday I am going to start with a beer sans alcohol 😇
General Info
This is a German beer. However, this very tin I bought was made in Sintra – I love Sintra :) and It is rather sugary 4,1 g of sugar per 100 ml (so, I am glad I don’t drink beer). Ah! It costs €0.29.
Not surprisingly, this beer has a sweet smell. As for the taste, I put some on a tea spoon and gave it a go. Well, it didn’t taste as sweet as I expected, and to be honest, I thought it is quite watery. Tangy watery in fact. Gosh, I am such a connoisseur 😅
Would I have it again?
Nope!
Who is going to be my first nomination?
Well, I happily nominate , who is a most interesting person with a life worth of writing a book about. I had the pleasure of having his participation in one of my posts around New Year, and since then we have come to respect each other as well as each other’s work, despite our different views.
So dear I am looking forward to hearing whether you will be accepting this challenge. Please let us know here in the comments!
And the countdown begins! Cheers everyone 😊
