Nice to greet you again #beer friends.
Apologies for not participating in the last few #beersaturday calls. But I was not in the mood to participate again only by presenting non-alcoholic beers.
As I had told you in my last participation in the community, by medical prescription I had been recommended not to drink any alcoholic beverage to reduce my triglyceride and cholesterol levels.
Last Wednesday, the 23rd, was Spain's debut in the World Cup against Costa Rica. My bosses, on the occasion of the soccer match, told me that we could shorten the working day and at 4:30 p.m. we could go together to watch the soccer match.
During the pre-match, in order to follow the instructions, I again ordered a non-alcoholic toasted beer. The bar at least had one of the two I usually order in this ordeal available. The beer they served me was the Mahón 0.0 Tostada and together with it they served me some peanuts.
Shortly after the soccer match started, Spain took the lead and quickly made it 3-0 on the scoreboard. At that moment, one of my bosses arrived and ordered an Estrella Galicia 1906 beer. At that moment of excitement about the match and the smell of real beer reaching my nose, I decided after almost four months to skip the medical recommendation and drink a delicious and authentic beer.
Estrella Galicia 1906, for those of you who don't know this beer, is a very bitter beer for those real beer lovers. Its color is dark amber, with a not very abundant foam, intense white and with a slightly carbonated hue. Although this carbonic nuance is much less than any other Spanish beer.
Its alcohol content is 6.5%. So imagine the effect it had on me after four months without tasting an alcoholic beverage. My eyes must have glazed over slightly between the alcohol in the beer and the exhibition of play and goals I was watching my country's national team score.
As you can see, the table was filled with bottles of Estrella Galicia 1906 beer, some additional Mahou 0.0 toast and some radler beer, excited to finally see a good debut of the Spanish national team in a World Cup and excited by the youth of this team.
After the end of the match and excited for the moment. Two of my bosses and I continued the post match, but in a moment of lucidity I decided to switch back to 0.0 beer. However, since we had moved to a different bar, the beer they had was San Miguel Magna 0.0 tostada beer which I will tell you about in a future post.
Regards #beer friends and great #beersaturday.
