I was never a fan of beer until my time in Moscow. In fact, I took pride in my defiance of the concept of drinking a beer. Recognizing the potential of a delicious beer upon drinking Russia's version of a Bud Light, I instantly changed my tune. Eventually, I developed a preference for particular beers, opting for less-hop fused brews like Shiner Bock, Ziegenbock, and Live Oak Hefewiesen. Conveniently, the Live Oak Brewery, my absolute favor brew, is just outside of downtown Austin. After trying to plan a weekend trip for months now, I finally found the perfect brewery tour weekend: the weekend of my birthday. So, at noon today, half a dozen or so of my closest and dearest joined me at the Live Oak Brewery in East Austin to taste some delicious brews and listen to the brewery's German brew master talk about each beer we were tasting. The best part? Being reminded that Live Oak soon will be bottling their beer so I don't have to find one of the few bars in Austin that continually offers their Hefe on tap! Happy birthday to me!
