Finding and tasting a new BEER is a happy pursuit of mine.

This past week my neighbor Ron Brown was out on the Outer Banks in Manteo NC and stopped in at Lost Colony Brewing Company. He sent me a text while there and asked if I had every tried any of their BEERS. I told him no but I knew that “Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch” was highly rated. When he returned he brought me a six pack.

Thanks to Ron this will become the 1,026 unique BEER I have consumed since 2014. Many of those were consumed as part of a flight. That enabled me to try a 3-4 ounce sample of 4 beers. Picture below is a flight from Crazy Gnome Brewery in Nashville TN.

I also like to keep track of each new BEER I sample. Back in 2014 I loaded an app on my IPhone called UNTAPPED that helps me track beer choices.

The reason for downloading the app was in 2014 I made a crazy New Year’s Resolution to drink one beer a day. The catch was each beer had to be unique. In essence I drank 365 different and distinct beers in 2014. For the record not all of them were good. I categorized those as “One and Done”.  A vow never to drink again. I won’t mention any brands.

I did a post on my list back at the end of December 2014. You can view that list called 2014 Beer of the Day at the following Completed Beer of The Day

Trying a new BEER makes me happy.
