I love beer and I love trying different beers. While I am sad to see the summer brews go, I am looking forward to Oktoberfest. What is your favorite beer? Do you like dark brews, amber brews, light ales?

pmenard Thanks fox. I am a wheatbeer lover. I started writing down new beers I try in my phone - it saved me from buying the same junk beer on many occasion.

pmenard Hi Dream, I am from the U.S. You will have to excuse me, I have been a bit lazy in updating my prophile. I do love a good vegan cafe too. Not many in my town, but 20 minutes north of me there is a fantastic artsy community with the best vegan eateries.
