My Liver Needs A Vacation

I'm back from our cruise (obviously). For a more detailed breakdown of our vacation, visit The Girlfriend's blog. I prefer to focus on the more important aspects of the trip, beer!!! The first stop was Barbados and the locally brewed Banks beer. We went to a bar called "The Boat Yard" and I quickly downed three with my flying fish sandwich. I'd love to tell you what it tasted like, but after I fell off of the iceberg five or six times, the concussions began to take their toll. I'm sure it is a fine tasting beer.
The next stop was St. Lucia. The Girlfriend did some heavy duty shopping on this island due to the overcast skies. I found a little bar next to the jewelry store that she was terrorizing and began to pound back the local brew, Piton. Again, I'd love to give you a detailed review of the taste, but my brain was numb from answering questions like "Which looks better? The pink mother of pearl? Or the white mother of pearl with diamonds?" So, St. Lucia and Piton beer is pretty much a blur. Making our way to Antigua, we decided to hang out on the beach. We ended up in front of Sneaky Pete's where I drank a few Wadadlis. I fell asleep on the beach after the first few and everybody knows that if you don't give your short term memory time to process information into your long term memory, you are left with no memory. So once again, all I can tell you about Wadadli beer is that it contains alcohol. Next was St. Maarten. I don't think Carib is brewed on the island, but after a morning of sailing (see the picture at the top of this post, toward the bow on the starboard side sit The Girlfriend and I) the two for one happy hour at "The Greenhouse" was a blessing. I vaguely remember that Carib goes very well with the black bean soup that they serve. In St. Thomas, I spent all day snorkeling and drinking rum punch so I never got a chance to sample Blackbeard Ale before stumbling back to the cruise ship. I'm sure it's a fine beer.

So there you go. You can either read The Girlfriend's version of events which centers around details like sand, surf and quality time together, or you can just take my word for it when I say that it's all about the beer.
