Don't Criticize me Bro! (Guilty Pleasure Milk Stout)

There is no right way to drink a beer. Some people chug their beer, some people nurse their beer. Others spill it on ping pong tables while listening to the newest music from Mumford & Sons. That is the true definition of alcohol abuse!

I used an eCard in the blog.. All time low!
When people are trying our homebrew for the first time, I like to be there to walk that person step by step of how they "should" drink the beer. It's almost like my baby that I don't want to be mistreated. Sam and I have referred to our beer as "our baby" while it ferments in the closet. I don't want to dictate how to drink our beer, I just want people to get a full appreciation for it. I am sorry to anyone who I have annoyed for doing this to you.

Here is what I look like when someone tries our beer for the first time, and likes it:

Sam and I recently submitted our Guilty Pleasure Milk Stout to a homebrewing competition in Lafayette, LA. This means that our beer will be critiqued and criticized (constructively, of course). Here is what I look like waiting for the homebrew competition results:

SpongeBob is a little better...
  Hopefully we get some positive reviews, but the best part is that we will get a some great tips on improving this brew. It turned out to be a huge hit this winter, so improving it will be an exciting project. I will say that I did not expect people to be open to such a dark, thick beer. It turns out, people were more intrigued by the complex flavors of chocolate and coffee in a drink that was still considered beer. Whether it is chocolate, beer, or both, everyone has a Guilty Pleasure.
