Has anyone (male or female) noticed that when the male species decides they like something, they really like it, I mean, they get really, really into it? For example, your man hears a band he likes, and then of course he needs ALL the albums, right now? Or he decides he wants to get into fishing, so he goes and purchases tons of fishing supplies, that he may or may not need? Do I have the only husband that does that? In everyday life this trait can be slightly exasperating, but in the grand scheme of things, I think it's probably a good thing. This very same quality comes across when a man is falling in love too, if he is into you, he's all in, and you'll know it, if he's not that into you, he just isn't, and he shows it.... Whatever this characteristic truly is, biological, genetic, or emotional, it's part of the man. Or at least my man, and it is for this exact reason that I just smiled when he announced a few weeks ago that his new favorite kind of beer was "Sour Belgians." I kept smiling about this until the first time I attempted to buy him a bottle from the store..... that is when I discovered that Sour Belgians are the most expensive types of beer! We are talking around eleven dollars for 12 ounces! Now it is my belief that every hard working man deserves a beer, but almost a dollar an ounce? Crazy talk! So until we win the lottery, the Sour Belgians are going to have to wait for special occasions. In between, he'll just have to be content with IPA and "bargain" Belgians I find. Like this Belgian from North Coast Brewing Company that I found at my local Costco for only $5.99 for a 750 ML. This is a smooth Belgian with a nice malty finish and should be drunk from a specialty Belgian beer goblet, but if you don't have one, just use a big, round red wine glass.
