A Hoppy Birthday

For my husband's birthday, a few of us went to The Flying Saucer, where they have over a hundred beers on tap. But Paul's birthday drink of choice was Mead:


He had been wanting to try it for a while but was deterred by the high price tag ($22!) Apparently it's pretty expensive because they ferment pure honey into an alcoholic beverage. The sweetness was a bit deceiving as it was easy to drink big draughts of it and then the buzz would hit hard a few minutes later.

On top of the Mead, I shared a sampler of wheat beers and belgian ales with Professor X.



I also got Paul a membership into the UFO club. He'll get an honorary plate with his name hung up on the wall when he's tasted 200 different beers.

Happy Birthday Paul!
