| - Everyone has a vice, right? I know I did. Past tense. So, without going into too much detail, I can't really partake in my former vice(s) anymore for various reasons and the stressors of life had really just been getting (or giving it) to me. That being said, I needed to drink! I'm just a fake ass drinker. I'm a Malibu and pineapple in the club girl. I always just order whatever my heaux friends are drinking (heauxs are fancy drinkers, don'tchaknow?) and I'm done with it but this time I wanted to try some different. I genuinely wanted to start drinking beer but I had no idea where to start and I'm actually really glad I started at The Draft with my co-worker friend who is a seasoned drinker. I had read enough Yelp reviews to know I wanted to get a flight and my friend walked me through their beer menu advising me to start with the lightest beers and to steer all the way clear of any IPAs until I was sure I liked beer, a lot.
So in my flight I ended up ordering Big Blue Van (a blueberry beer, not my favorite), Orange Blossom (really unmemorable, I literally can't remember anything about it), Peach Ale (my second favorite, really light in flavor and taste), and Angry Orchard (ofc this would be my favorite, right? A hard cider!) After that, I ended up ordering I think it was called a Mom's Night Out or something to that effect, it had champagne and pureed strawberries and came in a martini glass. It was much boozier than I anticipated but I downed it so I clearly had no complaints. My friend and I also split some spring rolls which were more like egg rolls but were still super good. They weren't dense at all like some spring rolls I've had since moving to Arizona. The service was good, our waitress was attentive but not all over us. She checked in to see how we liked the beers we chose.
I ended up leaving there feeling a bit nice and with a new found appreciation of extremely light beer. I do plan on going back and I'd probably ask if we could go back again this week but I have a Vegas trip next week and I'm trying to prepare my body for being drunk for three days straight so we'll probably hit up another happy hour when I get back.
