The Suds Will Rise Again

March 25th, 2009

After an extended period of “Sideways” inspired vinification, Americans are finally coming back to their senses and drinking more beer than wine. We really hope that this is a return to the appreciation of a good pint rather than recession-induced thrift. Either way, beer and the camaraderie afforded by a good pub are a perfect match to tough economic times. It’s hard to find a better bargain if you are looking for novel and interesting tastes, or just looking to unwind. Beer continues to be the third most popular drink worldwide, after water and tea. For travelers looking for an easy way to share in a local culture, beer offers a nearly universal avenue and one that won’t break the bank. With air travel costs at record lows, it’s a golden age for beersurfing. Get out there and get surfing!
