Hello again, friends of Beer! Welcome to my latest post dedicated to this great initiative called the #BeerStaurday Challenge. I wasn't planning on spending a beer night on Saturday, but my professors called me that night to get together and celebrate these last days of the semester that was almost over.

Actually, I hadn't planned on going out for drinks. My nephew was almost home, and I really enjoy being with him. But then I remembered that when a semester ends, we immediately go on group vacation and don't return until the end of September. So, I understood my professors' need to get together to celebrate the end of the semester, which also falls during summer, my favorite time of year. So for this week#420 I wanted to share with you more than a beer review, a pleasant moment with colleagues.

The meeting point was a tavern in the Parroquia Candelaria, a central place to go for beer with friends. I was invited to a tavern I hadn't been to before: Tasca Alcabala, but luckily the taxi driver found the place, and it didn't take long for me to find my colleagues, even though they had already started without me! 馃槅

As soon as I arrived, they served me a good beer. It's important to note that the atmosphere at the tavern was truly family-friendly and very open. One of the reasons I haven't been to taverns recently is that they always play that awful reggaeton music, or worse, vallenato, but in this case, it was Venezuelan music, bolero, and my favorite genre, Caribbean salsa. The service gave us 1 bucket filled with 8 Polarcitas beers.

Polarcita is a classic Polar beer, only it comes in a 222 mL bottle. It was the best they had to offer because, as mentioned in previous posts, the Polar brand has a tight control over beer distribution not only in liquor stores but also in bars and restaurants, making it very difficult to find imported or craft beers in these places. But Polarcita was ultimately the best option since the alternative was Polar Lifgt, a highly diluted version of the classic Polar.

Time passed fairly quickly as we talked about our future plans and the need to introduce new courses for the Biology program, specializing in Cell Biology, and to resume some required courses. We are a very committed group of teachers, and that makes me very happy, since the current circumstances are so difficult financially that having them in my teaching unit is a true miracle. But like me, they feel a deep love for the University, and we toast to that, to remaining strong despite the circumstances with the Cell Biology Teaching Unit.

And so, friends, this is how we spent this #BeerSaturday with a pleasant get-together with colleagues to celebrate successfully completing the lab practice. Teaching work is quite arduous, and in our case, it's just one of our three jobs, so when the holidays arrive, it's a moment of liberation for us, and what better way to celebrate than with some good Polarcitas. See you at the next beer challenge, friends. Cheers!

Hola de nuevo amigos de Beer! Les doy la bienvenida a mi m谩s reciente post dedicado a esta genial iniciativa llamada #BeerStaurday Challenge, no ten铆a planificado pasar una noche cervecera el s谩bado, pero los profesores que est谩n a mi cargo me llamaron en la noche para reunirnos y celebrar estos 煤ltimos d铆as del semestre que ya estaba por terminar.

En realidad no ten铆a planes de salir a tomar, mi sobrino ya estaba por llegar a casa y disfruto mucho estar con 茅l pero luego record茅 que cuando termina un semestre salimos inmediatamente de vacaciones colectivas y no volvemos sino hasta a finales de septiembre. As铆 que entend铆a la necesidad de mis profesores de reunirnos para celebrar el final del semestre que adem谩s es durante el verano, mi temporada favorita del a帽o. As铆 que para esta semana#420 he querido compartirles m谩s que una rese帽a de cerveza, un agradable momento con colegas.

El punto de reuni贸n era en una tasca en la Parroquia Candelaria, un lugar c茅ntrico para ir a tomar cervezas con amigos. Me invitaron a una tasca que no hab铆a visitado antes: Tasca Alcabala, pero por suerte el taxista encontr贸 el sitio y no demor茅 tiempo en conseguir a mis colegas, aunque ya hab铆an empezado sin mi! 馃槅

Apenas llegu茅 me sirvieron una buena cerveza, es importante destacar que el ambiente de la Tasca era verdaderamente familiar y muy abierto. Una de las razones por las que suelo no visitar tascas recientemente es que siempre ponen esa horrible m煤sica regetonera o peor vallenato, pero en este caso era m煤sica venezolana, bolero y mi genero favorito Salsa caribe帽a. El servicio nos otorgaba 1 tobo lleno con 8 cervezas Polarcitas.

La polarcita es una cl谩sica cerveza Polar solo que viene en una presentaci贸n de 222 mL. Era lo mejor que ten铆an para ofrecer, porque como ya hab铆a dichen publicaciones anteriores la marca Polar tiene un f茅rreo control sobre la distribuci贸n de la cerveza no s贸lo en licorer铆as, sino tanbi茅n en tascas y restaurantes, haciendo muy dif铆cil ver cervezas importadas o artesanales en estos lugares. Pero en definitiva Polarcita era la mejor opci贸n ya que la alternativa era Polar lifgt que es una versi贸n muy dilu铆da de la cl谩sica Polar.

El tiempo pas贸 bastante r谩pido mientras habl谩bamos de nuestros planes futuros y la necesidad de abrir materias nuevas para la carrera de Biolog铆a menci贸n Biolog铆a Celular y retomar algunas obligatorias. Somos un grupo de profesores bastante comprometidos y eso me alegra bastante, ya que las circunstancias actuales son tan dif铆ciles econ贸micamente hablando que tenerlos en mi unidad docente es un verdadero milagro. Pero al igual que yo sienten un profundo amor por la Universidad y brindamos por eso, por mantenernos firmes a pesar de las circunstancias con la Unidad Docente de Biolog铆a Celular.

Y bien amigos, as铆 pasamos este #BeerSaturday con una grata reuni贸n con colegas para celebrar que logramos llevar a buen t茅rmino la pr谩ctica de laboratorio. El trabajo de docencia es bastante arduo y en nuestro caso es apenas 1 de nuestros 3 trabajos, por lo que al llegar las vacaciones es para nosotros un momento de liberaci贸n y que mejor que celebrarlos con unas buenas Polarcitas. Nos vemos en un pr贸ximo challenge cervecero amigos. salud!

The images and video for the reviews were taken from my Redmi 9c cell phone, and the translation was done with the Deepl translate.
