Lately, I find myself liking beer less than I used to. I've never drunk a great deal of it at one sitting, except for a couple of unpleasantly memorable occasions, but I have drunk it fairly regularly with dinner, and sometimes lunch, and once in a while with late night snacks, since I was about 18 or 19. That's a lot of beer. A few weeks ago, I made some popcorn, and grabbed a bottle of porter from the refrigerator, and suddenly thought no, that's not what I want, even though that usually is what I want. I ended up drinking carrot juice, instead. Since then, this has happened several times. I drink apple cider or carrot juice or something else when I would once have had beer. Tonight, when I was pouring a bottle of Sierra Nevada at dinner, I thought a glass of red wine would be nice for a change. Hmmm. Is there something like beeropause?

It is more my tongue which is rebelling against the brewed ambrosia. Beer simply doesn't taste as good as it once did. This surprises me because, from the time I could crawl, I would sneak sips from any glass of beer left unguarded. I always loved the stuff. Now I don't. I feel like a deadbeat dad.
