Starobrno is good on can, too

The good thing about my new years resolution is that I may re-test a beer, as I did today. And the choice fell upon my 5th beer of the year - Starobrno.Aaaah!

10th Beer - Spendrups Old Gold

Spendrups Old Gold is a good beer, but it was made a whole lot better by the occasion I had saved it for - my brother's black belt. Congratulations, Tom!

9th Beer - Gösser

An austrian beer. Gut. Besser. Gösser.

8th Beer - Krusovice

Krusovice Dark beer.

7th Beer - Zubr

The Zubr Classic is a decent draught that would surely taste a whole lot better after an exhausting day in the sun. Will try again, later.

6th Beer - Hobgoblin

Afraid of the Dark, Lagerboy? A very good dark beer.

5th Beer - Starobrno

Day off. Meija and I tossed the X-mas tree out our 2nd floor door, vacuumed, and enjoyed the day in each others company. Ann spent the day in the office, working. She only came out for dinner, and to taste the Starobrno - the best beer of the year, so far.

Ranking list, with the best, the worst, and the rest - so far:

The Best: Starobrno (read this)
The Worst: Farmor Hilda's öl
The Rest (in no particular order): Uppsala, Zeunerts Julöl, Grolsch

4th Beer - Grolsch

I guess all types of beer taste good after a week of 14-hour work days, especially in good company. Heres Ann, having a taste of the Grolsch.

3rd Beer - Farmor Hildas öl

It wasn't bad, but the 3rd beer of the year - Farmor Hildas öl from Guttsta Källa - was the worst one so far...but the dinner with Ann & Meija enhanced the experience.

2nd Beer - Zeunerts Julöl

January 5th, the 13th evening, also known as the 12th day, was Christmas Eve before the introduction (in Norway) of the Gregorian calendar in 1700. The day was celebrated as "Old Christmas" for a long time in Norway and Denmark.

I finished it off with a Zeunerts Christmas Beer, chicken and rice - in the company of Ann & Meija.

Myanmar Beer

I have never tasted the Myanmar (Burma) Beer, but looking at the Brewing Awards, it would have been worth a try if it wasn't for the political situation in the country.

The reason why I mention this today is that 4th of January is the national day in Pye Tawngsu Myanma, but considering the military junta's (SLORC) human rights violations, I will steer clear of this beer until further notice.

1st beer - Uppsala

Enjoyed the first beer of the year - a cold bottle of Uppsala from Slottskällans Bryggeri - at home in Uppsala, with an avocado and "skagenröra", in the company of Ann & Meija.
