TRIVIA TODAY - Monday, October 8, 2012
Greetings Infomaniacs,I hope that everyone had a great weekend. Yesterday, I attended a beer and bacon tasting at a pub in downtown Chicago. I have never been to such an event before, but a friend of mine had a Groupon and it had to be used! So, alas, I found myself sipping beer and nibbling on bacon at 2:00 on a Sunday afternoon.
It was actually pretty fun to taste some beer that I wouldn't normally try, such as a beer that tasted like banana bread. I didn't really like combining the taste of dessert in my beer, but I am glad I got to sample it, anyway!
Enjoy!
