Not designer stouts, mind you, but juts your regular, average Joe beers in the light variety or in their full calorie splendor. On a night out, if you wanted to get a little creative, you might order something a few notches up on the scale, like a Honey Brown or a Guinness, but generally, these were reserved for special occasions in my circles. Back then, the full range of microbrewery beers that you see now even on the grocery store shelves really didn't exist. You had a few kinds of regular beer to choose from, and then maybe a few token microbrews. Then along came the whole wine craze. It suddenly was out to drink beer and 'in' to drink wine.

If you are anything like me you probably haven't, for the simply reason you are too engrossed unwinding and enjoying the rich aroma and taste to bother with any of the technical side of the brew. The deepest I have ever gone when I have a cup of the rich umber beverage in my hand is to let my mind drift off with the floating steam.The information on the wrapper might tell you a bit about the beans you're drinking but believe me there is so much more to the story of how coffee drinking came to be so popular the world over.
