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.
It’s quite fun to be in self-control while wasted. 2-3 glasses max will do it. Maybe 2 :-)
I too enjoy new and different things despite liking the same things. I still try hard to order restaurant meals of things that I can’t yet cook at home.

Ditto - hotel house “free” Cabernet and Pinot Grigio. I’m getting 2 coupons per night and I want to use them. I got very enthusiastic about the menu for today’s luncheon as it includes wild game chili - something I’ve never had.
