Oh, Jason, Jason, Jason. Really? Sending Jillian home and leaving Molly and Melissa? REALLY? All right. I will not feel sorry for you. You could have had a smart, effervescent girl with a good head on her shoulders and some imagination and sensibility, but instead, you want one of the girls who, after six weeks, gush all over you like a four-year-old girl would over a Christmas pony. All right. Looks like Deanna comes back in two weeks, then you'll have a mess on your hands. I long suspected you are a nice guy, but you lack confidence and you like stupid girls.
So, in mourning, I am drinking a PETRUS OUD BRUIN, or Old Brown. Old because it ages in oak casks for 24 months. Petrus is named after Sint Petrus -- Saint Peter. I have high hopes that the good saint is handing out goblets of this at the gates of heaven. Like other Belgian "Ouds", it has a somewhat spicy and acidy nose, and a nice balance of sweet and sourness. Greg Hall says "Sour is the new hoppy" -- meaning the sour qualities commonly found in some Belgian beers could be the new hot trend among American craft brewers, much like excessive hop bitterness became all the rage a few years ago. I hope so. These beers are complex and delicious, thirst-quenching and thought-provoking. So if you are alternately disgusted, disappointed and ambivalent about your evening's reality TV choices, try a thoughtful, fancy beer.
