Remember that stupid black and white photo challenge from a couple months ago? Well, I always wanted to come with something similar but with something that wouldn't actually suck balls! And yesterday, out of the blue, while taking a small hike, it hit me! So, with this post I am officially starting the seven day beer challenge!
I'll begin my beer week with a Greek one I tried yesterday called "Volkan", a short for Volcano.
Not surprisingly, the beer is manufactured in Santorini, one of the most beautiful Greek Islands, that is essentially what remains after an enormous volcanic eruption that destroyed the earliest settlements on a formerly single island, and created the current geological caldera. The beer is made with "lava rock filtered mineral water and the best of local ingredients; rare Santorini grape honey and ancient citrus medica essence from Naxos."
Here are some photos of the beer:
Illuminati Confirmed?
Cheers!

I won't pretend I am a connoisseur or something. Chances are I would fail a blind test between the beers I typically drink. But I think Volkan had a quite distinctive taste & aftertaste and I really enjoyed it.The beer cap is pretty cool, so I guess it's worth to give it a try just to keep that as a memento :)
Would I drink it again? Probably not, as it was a bit expensive and didn't have that "WoW" factor.
@abigail-dantes and @onceuponatime were the two to first nominate me (almost simultaneously!) for the black & white challenge so I guess it's only fair to start by nominating them. I am sure @onceuponatime will come up with some really cool shit! As for Abi, I think she hates beer, let's see she if she discovers one that she actually likes :D
These are the rules to be taken into account:
- You have to try a new beer every day, for 7 days
- The beer must be something you have never tasted before
- You must put a photo of the beer and write a few words about it
- Nominate someone every day
- If you are a social outcast with no friends to invite you just join the fun. You have every excuse to drink!
- Use the tag "#sevendaybeerchallenge" as one of your five tags.
