24th June 2013

It seems ages since I last wrote here. Since then there's been some occurances, namely the midsummer festival, which is a pretty big deal here in Finland, and it was also my 30th birthday. I know, I do look good for my age, thanks.

Also, apparently there had been a miscount. Last week I had counted that I had drank 166 beers so far, but thanks to Facebook buggering up my list, I had to recount them, and it turns out I'd drank 167. So this week you only get one beer, because I have an OCD about even numbers.

Xingu Black Beer (Brazil)

And so, from the land of weird pubic hair comes the beer that looks like the official beer of the TV show, Survivor. Since you only get one this week, I thought I'd make it a special one. I'm not sure how to pronounce it, but it seems like it might be related to a certain plasticine penguin. And it's actually very good. Really dark, but without any coffee-ish bitterness, it was almost fruity and a little bit oaty. My first ever Brazilian beer was a very pleasant surprise.
