Seven days...

...you will die in seven days.

If not, then you'll get to see the Seven Days/Seven Continents World Tour of Beer blog. What's that? That's me, going on vacation for seven days and picking up a different bottle of beer for each day of the week. The contenders:

Canada's La Fin Du Monde
America's Hop Hazard
Argentina's Quilmes
Germany's Apostle Brau
Africa's Tusker
Australia's Black Wattle
"Antarctica's" Endurance Glacier Gold

Now, I know what you're thinking. "That's only six continents, retard. America and Canada are both part of North America, butt nose." Well, technically that's true. But here's the deal: my old brother came up to the island with us on the week that I was there for my 21st birthday, and he brought a bottle of La Fin Du Monde as a present. It was delicious, and it now enters into its third year as the traditional Friday night end-of-vacation brew.

As for America: well, I can't leave my country for a week and not bring some of it's glory with me. Duh. And for anyone who actually followed all of those links and is saying "hey, that Glacier beer is from Massachusetts," I say nuts to you. The photo on the label, contrary to the link, is of an old ship sailing through the ice, and it says "Antarctica" underneath.

So why snub Asia? Because everything else that I own is made in China, damnit, and I don't need to send every dollar I earn on keeping them going.

You also may be wondering why I chose the bottles I did, as many of them have less than stellar reviews. The answer is simple: I went into Beers of the World without doing any prior research, looked around for things that I'd never tried before, and tossed 'em in the basket. That's all there is to it.

Beginning next Saturday, I'll be drinking one of these beers each night and reviewing it as I go. However, there's no connection to the wonderful world wide web where I'm going, so it will all be posted as one long, annoying post upon my return.
