Day 4: Becker's Premium Pils

Since I don't speak German, I can't really tell where this comes from, except that it's some sort of subsidiary of Karlsberg Brauerei.

This is another example of a beer that tastes a lot like most of the beer you've ever had. Clear, light colour, fragrant head and easy to drink. Definitely a pilsner, definitely inoffensive, but nothing inspiring going on here. A lot like the last beer, it would be a great thing to serve to a bunch of people because it would be decent and not put anybody off.

No adventure, no challenge, but it just might be right up your alley. I preferred it to yesterday's Slovenian beer. There was a crispness to it that made me think I might really like it on a hot day rather than at the end of a cool fall day while sitting in the hot tub trying to answer deep existential questions. That calls for dark, complex, high abv content.

I'm starting to think this calendar has been mis-titled. Maybe it should be something like "Beer Advent Calendar for Boring People Who Like Different Looking Cans And Probably Don't Like Spicy Foods or Vegetables or Sushi or Anything Interesting...Pairs Well With Easy Mac."

So show me something, calendar. You started off tasty, got a little weird, and now it seems like you're just not trying.

It wasn't bad. I could drink a lot of these. But I don't have a lot of these, I only have one, so I want it to be more interesting. Three steins.

As to how I earned this beer? I'm told that I can't reveal that in any sort of detail. But I definitely earned it.
