Beer? Or Sports Drink?
OK, first, we’ll address my beer selection for the night. My wife and I attended my new company’s
holiday party last night, which was a very nice event at the Gaylord Hotel in
National Harbor, just outside of DC. While the beer selection was respectable
(Sierra Nevada, Sam Adams…), the only beer I hadn’t yet had was the Michelob
Ultra. So I had one, and then moved on
to better beers.
I checked out Michelob Ultra’s website to get a link for the blog, and
the website looks more a site for a sports drink than a beer. It shows people hiking, running, biking –
Lance Armstrong is even there! I guess
the implication is that Michelob Ultra is a great way to replenish your body’s
natural hops and barley after exercising.
And another thing – there is a link on the website labeled “Flavors.” Really?
Flavors? How about “Beer Styles,”
“Our Brews” or “Our Beers?” Click the
link and you’ll know why they say flavors – Lime Cactus, Pomegranate Raspberry
and Dragon Fruit Peach. Yuck.
The only good thing I can say about Michelob Ultra is that it’s only 95
calories. I guess if I only drank Ultra
this year, I would have lost the 50 pounds!
Yeah, cuz you would have had only one!
ReplyDeleteYou should have done the Genny Cream Ale, that would have been better...maybe? Or the beer my Dad would drink on the patio on a Saturday afternoon - Schafer! Don't recall him having more than one, but he must have...
Cheers
