With some relief, I have finished that gift case of beer, ending with a Great White Beer.
I usually don't have a beer every day — more like one every few weeks — so it was a bit more than I am used to. It was still an interesting exercise, trying them close enough in time that I could actually form some impressions about what I liked best. I'm not a fan of the spiced beers, and the fruity one was the worst. The pale ales were OK, but they do have a bitter edge that I could live with, but wasn't enthusiastic about. I favored the pilseners best, I think. This taste test omitted any dark beers, though, which is what I usually order.
I could do with a Guinness now, but I think I'll stick to drinking tea for a while.

It was a typical hot and humid summer's day, so I entered a nice dark bluestone pub, hoping the dark would offer some cool and beer. As it was about 11 in the morning, the bar was empty save for one fellow sitting at a table…
