Nagoya Street Drankin'!

You may be wondering what we have been doing since we haven’t posted anything the last three days. As much as I hate to say it, I have been hard at work. I know, I know, I try to stay away from work as much as possible, but every now and again there comes a time when it is just unavoidable. I will say that at least some of my hard work paid off. My student in the speech contest whipped Nate’s student like it was going out of style. A good old fashioned English speech beat down. He may have spent the week in Tokyo drinking good beer, but he still can't teach his students to speak English worth a damn. Let it be known.
While Nate was away, I didn’t sit around and just mope all weekend. No, I headed to Nagoya with the Old Lady for some beer factory touring and hanging with some good friends. At night me and Nick took part in some street drinking, which was enjoyed thoroughly by us both.
We made our way to Nagoya station where we found the aforementioned international store and all of its wonderful types of beer. We procured a few and then accompanied the ladies since they wanted to do a little window shopping. Of course, this was my motive in inviting Nick and Michelle, I knew that Nick and I could enjoy each other’s company and a few brews, and at the same time appease the ladies by “going shopping.” We are so smart, I know.
We walked around with the ladies and our brews for a bit, then decided that it was time for a refill. At first we drank some of Yo-ho Brewings Aooni, and what a great choice it was. A nice IPA for a nice evening. We followed up the Aooni’s with a Gen-Mai and my first miso beer. I have to admit, that the miso beer was pretty tasty, even if their green tea beer tasted horrible. The Gen-Mai was ok, but most defiantly needed some work.
After those brews we drank some Coronas, Belgian whites, Kirins, and I’m not sure what else. No doubt the making of good time. The main lesson here: if your woman is going shopping, make sure she does it some place near good beer.
