We did it! We made it all the way to the last day of the beer exchange. And I think I avoided spoiling any beers for anyone, even though it was harder than I expected. (Both my boyfriend and my best friend decided to drink their beers during the 12 days leading up to Christmas. And my dad has done something chaotic that means he still has more beers left than days before Christmas and none of them are in any sort of numerical order.) But I did it! And I am a little bit tipsy and it’s very late at night, so let’s talk about Beer Exchange Day 12.
Why am I a little bit tipsy? Because I very much wanted to drink Beer 12 while I was recording Academy versus Audience. Other than an extra credit episode that I had to throw together because I messed up our schedule, this was the only recording date we pulled together in December. Of course I had to enjoy a very special drink.
Beer Exchange Day 12
For some reason, I expected Beer 12 to be a sour. Why? No good reason. Maybe just because Erin likes sours?
Anyway, Beer 12 was so good and the perfect final beer. It was a dark Mexican lager from Citizen Brewing Company. Citizen is one of the places where we regularly go to trivia and the Señor Citizen is one of the beers that Tyler orders the most often. So, I’m familiar. But that doesn’t mean I wasn’t thrilled to drink it! It was subtle and malty, with a thoroughly drinkable unexpected brightness. Señor Citizen has an IBU of 22 and an ABV of 5%, so you’re safe to drink a lot of them! (You know. If you need to.)
I rate this beer a solid four pack of dark Mexican lagers to drink while recording four episodes of your favourite podcast.
