Happy New Beer!

I'm not much of a drinker. Really, I'm not. In fact, when it comes to drinking, I'm like a European. A European ALCOHOLIC! I kid, I KID. I like a nice glass of wine with dinner. If I'm celebrating, a flute of champagne or an exotic cocktail when I'm out with the girls does me good. I have never been one of those party girls who gets all liquored up and then becomes the entertainment for the rest of the night. Okay, maybe just once or twice in my life. Or last week. :D

Beer, in reasonable amounts, is good for your soul, not to mention your hair. Remember that beauty secret? Put a little in your shampoo and it makes your locks super shiny. Every time I tried bringing a beer into the shower, I'd end up chuggin' it- not mixing it with my products.

With that being said, once in awhile, I like to have myself a brewski. And when I do drink one, my first choice is usually Fat Tire, a beer from New Belgium Brewing Company based out of Fort Collins, Colorado. The story behind Fat Tire is that one of the founders went on a bicycle trip through Belgium and went from brewery to brewery to concoct his perfect beer recipe. LOVE. His result? A rich ale that's neither too dark or too bitter. For lighter weights, there's the low-cal Skinny Dip version, although my dad always says that light beer is for WIMPS! Cheers, beers, and Happy 2010!
