I think our drinking partnership is well balanced. Although she has always been one for trying new beer she has not had the depth of experience I have. Its fun I get to expose her to new beer, and I am working on the glassware situation. One of the best moments is when she returns from the fridge with something I have never seen before and beams with pride at the concept of surprising me with a new tastebud adventure.
I am beginning to study for the Cicerone exam and have told her she can expect to be along for the ride. I expect her to contribute as we go and she will, and thus both of us will have a richer experience.
Do you have a beer buddy?
