Personally, I like to be in control of myself. We had dinner last night at Miller’s Ale House. Normally I would order and drink two different beers before and during dinner. But I had donated blood earlier in the day and felt enough loss of control after one. TBH, Miller’s beer offerings are pretty pedestrian and I don’t think I could have found anything new on the menu to try anyway. No doubt we will be back at the local brewery tonight for one or two and they pretty consistently have a new beer on tap every Friday. And that’s why I drink - same reason I travel - for the sake of trying and tasting something new and different.
