Beer Count
I always wanted to do this, Keep a count of the different types of beers I had till date and provide my feed back on them.
I had beer 1-5 with in 10 days of Arriving in the US. It was then when I had that nice drinking session when 3 of us had over 70 bottles of beer in 2 nights. Among the first 5 my favorites are Yuengling and Corona. The proper way to have Corona is with lime, I didn't know that then and had it plain but it still tasted great so I am guessing with lime it will be super. Guinness is one of the finest but unless you have it extra chilled you really wont like it, you will get that strong bitter taste if it isn't chilled. It is very strong though, and it hit me very quickly with one bottle! Millers is cheap beer. Very bitter and OK types, nothing great. Budweiser is good but its normal casual beer again.
As soon as I moved in to my new house I had beer 6-10. It was more of a house warming ceremony with beer. My favourites among them are Bud Lights and Becks. Both of them are damn smooth. Bud Ice is super, its just like water. Very mild and low on bitterness, you will just keep gulping it down till you realize you are high on 2 bottles because of the high rate of gulping. It doesn't feature in my favourites because it doesn't have much of a beer taste, its more like water that makes you high. Millers genuine draft is better than Miller lites but its bitter, for the same amount you could buy a bud lights instead. Coors lights is good!
Beer 11-13 was at New York City. Me and Sriram went to Smiths bar , a sports bar 44th street, 8th Avenue (parallel to times square). All the three were brilliant, after all they are European beer! Blue moon is simply superb.
Franziskaner Hefe-Weisse was a total wild guess. I happened to go to this place called as stuff ya face near Rutgers with a friend where I randomly picked this beer. I had a pitcher of Samuel Adams (seasonal beer) followed by Franziskaner. Both were very smooth. Gulped them down in a jiffy.
The bottle versions of Samuel Adams are OK. They are kinda bitter. So is Guinness draught. Guinness tastes very nice when its super chilled but when it starts getting warm the bitterness becomes prominent. One strange thing in Guinness draught that I noticed is this small ball that is kept inside the bottle. I dono what exactly is it for. I guess it is for flavour but when you drink from the bottle it keeps making a cling cling sound. Feels like you are drinking golli soda..heehee. Guinness hits very quickly.
I have given a brief description of how they taste. Goal is to reach 50 different beers by summer.
1. Budweiser
3. Miller Lite
5. Corona
10. Coors Light
14. Amstel Lights
16. Sam Adams (Seasonal beer)

I am rich
Its been a disgusting week, work-study work-study... During spare time there is always something to do which makes it even more sick. No time to sit and stare, daze at the blank walls and dream. Miss those days, when I spent my time just sitting and staring, totally dazed and confused. Suddenly yesterday it all came back when this amazing message popped up on my thunderbird (shit, thunderbird is damn good. I'm in love with it).
The message went like this,

For the suspicious souls, I have put a snap shot of my email. If you are too bored, you could check it out for confirmation. ------------------------------->
Too cool. Shit, after all the strain and torture that I have bared in these 22 years I have decided to have a peaceful retirement life. Spend the money pursuing exotic pleasures. The immediate sure shots on my purchases list are:
1. One Lear jet. With all the killer aminities. A whole bar with all kinds of beer. Exotic brands. With hot air hostesses!
2. Killer beach house some where in Rio or the Bahamas. With my own private air strip, state of the art I max movie theater, a room dedicated to beer, champagne, wine, chocolates, ice cream. Don't think the money will be enough to buy my own island, but anyways Rio is good enough.
Me sitting on the beach with a glass of champagne, in shorts and shades.
3. A jaguar, BMW, Porsche in the garage. While not being too bothered about fuel hike and global warming. And insurance as well.
For now these will do. I might have enough cash to buy a normal type bunglaw remaining after I spend for all my stuff. So, may be I'l give it away to "charity" unless some one desperately wants something!
P.S. Damn, beer costs 5.95 for a six pack.
