This last week Amanda and I went to see Wicked in the Uihlien Hall at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts with our friends Bryan and Marilou. Before the show started we grabbed drinks from the stand they set up. I didn't want anything strong, so I didn't get a mixed drink. Instead I got a Point Pale Ale.
For some reason I seem to have be prejudiced against Point Brewery beers. And now I'm beginning to wonder why. I think it's because I may have had one of their beers about 10 years ago that I just did not like. I've avoided them ever since - it's kind of part of the "Life's too short for cheap beer" mindset that I had developed.
A couple of years ago I was visiting my friend Adam in Wausau and he had a Point bock of some kind. I enjoyed it, but I figured it was just because I have yet to meet a bock I didn't like.
Well the Point Cascade Pale Ale was very pleasant. I was so pleased that I've decided to give Point beers another chance. Maybe I was just unlucky with my first Point experience. I suppose it just goes to prove that I really do need to try things twice.
