07/03/2018 The day I drank beer from the bottle.
Yesterday I got a bit of an earache from having beer through a straw. Some of my Venezuelan Steemit friends said in their country there is even a saying which states that having beer this way will make you drunk quicker. So, I suppose I better retire that fashion of beer drinking and adopt one of the classic ways of doing so: drinking from the bottle!
@rickie, as you can see I am going for an A++ today 🙋
General Info
It has been rainy, windy and cold here in Central Portugal. In my opinion this weather calls for a really lazy evening. You know, slacks, hair up, etc... but, instead, thanks to @trumpman I had to reach for the fridge and grab a cold one, or to precise a Superbock, from the three beers we bought last Sunday. So, in our local supermarket, today’s bottle cost €0.93.
My husband kindly opened the bottle for me, I took it from his hand and smelt it first. To my surprised it smelt exactly like Sagres! 🙊 Oh no! How can this be? Now, I like red wine, and you will not find different types of wine with the exact same smell! So, I was not very tempted to taste it, of course, but I took a swig (I felt really wild while doing it 😎). In a way, Superbock is more palatable than Sagres, but it is still far, far from being tasty.
So just you all know, both Sagres and Superbok are the most popular brands here in Portugal.
Would I have Superbock again?
No, I wouldn’t.
In fact, @trumpman, why isn’t this a seven day green tea challenge 😍
Wouldn’t that be wonderful?
Who am I going to nominate?
I am going to nominate beautiful @tamacvet, who loves philosophy, books, animals, reflecting about life and ... beer! She is what I call my Steemit little sister. She always checks on me and never goes for too long without sending me kisses and hugs all the way from Serbia. She has a huge, huge heart!
What do you say Tamara? 😊
Just remember to keep the following rules in mind
- 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.
Pretty much midway through this! I am feeling good. Now, off to the kitchen to make a cup of hot chocolate to get rid of the bitter taste.
Cheers everyone! 😘

Dear Abby, you are going to continue not liking beer until you understand that it is not meant to smell good or taste good. It is meant to taste like beer and smell like.... Beer! Once you stop trying to convert it to wine, I am sure you will find it less undesirable. 😀
I hope you had a good day today. I don't often visit discord so this is a very good way to check on you and see what you're drinking! I wonder why your husband just hands the beer over to you and do you hand it back after smelling it 😀?
It is nice to see you are making efforts to complete the challenge. All the best and love from me. ❤️
Hello my dear 😍 Oh Gosh! You are ever so kind to always take the time to stop by! I don’t know how you sensed this; but, I do expect the taste of wine when I taste the beer 😂😅😂 I will keep your observation in mind tomorrow! Today, my husband actually tried this beer too. But he said it didn’t do it for him and accompanied me with a hot beverage after the tasting 😂
I haven’t been on the channel either, lately. I know it doesn’t look like it. But, I have been so busy these days. And yes, it is wonderful hearing from you every day ❤️🌷❤️.
Lots of love to you always my dear.
Thank you for taking the time to reply. I know that you expect the beer to taste similar to wine or something you're conversant with at least but it just fails to do that for you each time because it is beer after all. I suspect that most people who drink beer must have gone through this phase in the beginning and probably only kept going because of the alcohol content until they acquired a taste for it.
I knew you were busy or else you would not have changed your posting to once in two weeks. I guess you and your husband are in the same boat when it comes to beer. I hope you are having a great day. All the best.
I say I can't believe you don't like beer?! Who are you?!
Just kidding, it was so much fun reading your beer reviews, and you really came a long way in three days! (from spoon, to straw and now from bottle).
I think you will love it by day 7 :D
That way we can enjoy a cold one if we ever sit in a same bar!
Challenge excepted! (with a smile)
Weeeeeee thanks for accepting it Tamara :)
Three days in, still don’t see what the big fuss is all about it! 😛
😘
Lol! There is truly improvement. Shes learning quickly.
I really love your personality because you are real and humorous. Your beer review is really fun to read. Nice post.
🙃
You've finally graduated to sips. Congratulations! Also, don't worry about the smell. Beer aromatics are usually only important with hoppy beers. Bocks, pilsners, and other similar beers, especially those produced commercially, all smell similar.
@tking77798, I am going to challenge you tomorrow! It looks like you are a beer connoisseur :D
I can see it coming in a week or two maybe #sevendayteachallenge and @trumpman would be the first nominee ! From beer to tea all day !! Is your body ready sir trumpman? 🍵
My spartan stomach can handle anything you throw at it!
First time I saw a picture of you.
Hate to break it to you but...
...I think you may have jaundice.
Have you ever checked your bilirubin levels?
Ahahahahah ahahahaha @alexander.alexis I will nominate you tomorrow!!! 😍
Pls don't, it will go to waste! I barely have time for my regular posts! I'm still on day 3 of the b&w challenge ... it's been months... And I've neglected my food posts too. Damn it.
I'd love to enter the contest, but, alas, I have a health condition that will not permit such indulgences. Sounds like great fun however. I hope you do not mind me posting a link here. I think you might enjoy... kind of up the alley of psychology.https://steemit.com/steemit/@mistermercury/rising-above-patriarchy
Its now 3days down for @abigail-dantes.. I am really enjoying this, @trumpman it should have been 14days.. Or @abigail-dantes, dont you wish it was 14days.. Or am I the only one enjoying this... Hahaha!
@abigail-dantes, why cant you let us see your face.. I am desperate to see your face oo.. When will that be?
Anyways Im enjoying these reviews. Cant wait to see what awaits you tomorrow. Hehe. Nice one Abby!
Peace!✌
Thank you for your encouragemente my dear, dear @happymichael 😍😘😅
😄 you are welcome
Hello @abigail-dantes I am new to this wonderful community and they recommended me your excellent publications. Greetings .. I love the challenges and more so hahaha
Who is “they” @julybm? :)
I am sorry you arrived here right when I am on a beer challenge! But, so just you know, I normally blog about psychology. Welcome to Steemit! 🌷😃
Lol.. Shes our psychologists.. Welcome to steem dear... Stay tuned to her blog and u will learn alot
hahaha dear @ abigail-dantes what commitment do you have now, I also want a challenge as good :))
Ahahaha I know, still 4 days to go! 😅
hello @abigail- dantes so I think that this beer has not liked you, I invite you to venezuela so you can try a good smell and better taste of beer. regards
Oohh an invitiation 😍
Hahahahaha The best challenge ever!!!! what a great Idea!!!
😩
Hello friend abigail. In my country for drinkers it would be wonderful to drink for seven days and more a beer. But I would like it to be a challenge to do it with green tea. I love it a lot. It's very good for your health, but you know I still like red wine a lot
🍷 I brought you a glass of red wine my lady :)
I was wondering if you took more than a drop of the beer. Checking the volume out, it seems your are scared of drinking at least 10 mL of that beer.
I guess you will keep increasing the volume you taste daily. lol
Ahahahahhahahahahhaha ahahahahahah
Oh my God Turpsy. You are exposing me here 😂😅😂
This is so funny!!!!!
Good thing you're improving with the days the friend challenge. Congratulations, I really do not know what you get from rich to the cervesas
😅😘
The most popular beer in Venezuela is the Polar, I love beers, they are refreshing. at the end of the challenge you like them
Let’s see Urbano, I am not impressed so far 😂
The truth is that between beer and chocolate cup I choose chocolate, for me all cherries taste the same, they are bitter, although when they are cold they are passable, congratulations dear to continue with the challenge
A 7 day hot chocolate challenge!! 😍
Why do I feel like this challenge you have decided to try for seven days, is something similar to a convent Nun deciding to go to Amsterdam for a week, and then giving a review of the best live sex shows available?
😂😂
Ahahahahaha because I hate beer !! 😂😂
hahaha. this time you got your selfie with the beer, but it's spongebob's face on it . hahaha
oh no!!! this tume drank it on a bottle 😱. but that's ok for the sake of challenge, haha , but for sure miss abi you had fun somehow. though i know the smell of the beer is really not inviting
😥
hoping to see the real face miss abi @abigail-dantes
Much love from us ❤️❤️❤️
Ahahahaha 😛
Good luck to the next beer drinking challenges. :D
I just tasted beer once and did not liked it, so I never drink it again. It will be great if there will be a juice drinking challenge someday. :P
Thank you @zararina! I will keep you in mind if there is ever a juice drinking challenge day 😅
So everyday different types of beer need to be uploaded? Is this contest open now or going on.
Unfortunalerly! 😩
😍 Thank you
The buck passes to me. Hi, @tamacvet ;-) This is the most exciting challenge yet. Let's rock this.
Do you drink beer @misterakpan?
Oh my wonderful friend, Abigail! I have to admit, I'm helpless in the face of chilled beer. I love beer 🍻 😎
Well, considered yourself challenged!! I can officially challenge you tomorrow: Friday 😍😘
SPOILER ALERT! Tamara is planning on me being her first nomination when she starts ;-)
Hola amiga @abigail-dantes, la ventaja de tomarla directamente de la botella es porque permanece mas tiempo fria y su sabor es menos amarga, si la sirves en vaso y le colocas hielo su sabor no es igual. Vas a lograr tu reto. Saludos!
I am learning something new everyday 😂
Rainy day? in my country (Venezuela) any day is good to drink a beer haha. Cheer up! I know you will win
Cheers!! 🍻
Superbock is the rave here in spain too. I loved the spongebob faces!
😂
aww! how are you now?
yeah that way of drinking should be retired now :p
So today is the third day. i'm i right?
Yes!!! Four days to goooo :)) weeeee
I wish you a very best of luck mam!
Do you live in an underwater pineapple too? :P
And yeaaah! You are getting more and more macho by the day. Tomorrow you're going to drink the whole bottle and let's see if by the end of your week we'll be calling you AAA (not like the batteries, but like Alcoholics Anonymous Abi)
And oh, I will wait a few days before I start my challenge, because I've been down with a bug that's got my stomach aching so I'd stay away from alcohol for a little while :)
Alcoholics Anonymous Abi 😂😅😂
Sorry to hear about your stomach bug 😳. You start whenever you are ready and feeling strong! 😊 All right, I better get back to my pinaple. It is raining hard 😛
Lots of love & take care ❤️
oooh, you took the beer as they do here, "bending the elbow and inside" hahahaha
I feel like I am an expert now 😎
I AM ENCHANTED TO SEE YOUR WANTED FACE ABIGAIL, ALTHOUGH YOU LOOK LIKE IF YOU HAD HEPATITIS, (THAT YELLOW COLOR IS NOT NORMAL) OR WAS THE YELLOW OF THE BEER THAT HAS RISEN TO THE HEAD?
AHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAH You have an amazing sense of humour @karinabv! 😂😅😂
Weeeee
Lolz......😂 Abi rocks!!
And yup! A++ for you today @abigail-dantes.
At this rate, you'd probably publish a book titled "How To Enjoy Beer - Vol 1", for someone who virtually hates the smell of beer.
Lolz.....Nice going, Abi
I always wanted to write a book 🤔😅😂😅 Your encouragement is invaluable Rickie! 😘😅
I never saw you as the strawpedo type! But then with something called a super bock in your hand I guess nothing should surprise me
Hahaha.. Does that mean superbock is really strong??
I am feeling pretty wild today @mobbs, after that swig of super bock 😂
Haha +1 for the creativity on the challenge 😉
I personally don't like beer very much, tbh I don't drink much alcohol at all, but definitely seems like a fun challenge I would participate in during summer or on vacation 🙏🏼
Entertaining read either way!
Don't know your other interests besides doing these fun challenges 😉 but if you happen to be into travelling, vlogs, fitness, self-development etc feel free to check out my channel, in any case keep up the good work and I'll see you around!💛
hahaha, the beer has turned you yellow!
AHAHAHAHAHAHA AHAHAHAHA It has! 😂😅😂
This is a funny comment!
You are now halfway through a six-pack. Go on. We, your fans, are cheering for you 🙂
Truth is, a sevendaygreenteachallenge won't be as much fun as a sevendaybeerchallenge :)
Thank you Green!!! I truly feel now that I will make it 😂
You can. You are almost halfway through the alcohol run :)
😘🙃
Okay, so you’ve been trying some fairly uncommon beers. A bock isn’t that uncommon, but I certainly wouldn’t recommend it to a newbie! Have you tried something simple, like clean, crisp German Pilsner? Or a smooth light stout? These might be more appealing.
@cstrimel I have heard about “stout” before! I have one more in my fridge and on Thursday I will need go buy more, I will keep your tips in mind! 😘
Finally! We know how you look like!
😎
Hahaha This cracked me up
.
No green tea. Take some more beer, you'll get used to it. I guess you've had a lot of green tea all your life. Now @abigail-dantes have fun with some more beer.
Well, @desmonddesk I am certainly having a laugh with this challenge; but, mainly because of the funny comments I have been receiving! 😅
That's nice! We are here to cheer you to victory.
😘😂❤️
If only seven more days could be added.. Haha
Animo @abigail-dantes, si se puede completar el desafio jajaja soy venezolana y si, es mejor siempre beber cerveza de la forma clasica!
4 days left! 😃
Doesn’t most beer smell like fermented yeast? I think you have really honed your drinking skills and toughened yourself up a little in the process. Hope for a different kind of challenge next time. Was there a beer that you would recommend? 🐓🐓
My dear fried :) I have tried three different types of beer so far and don’t recomend a single one! 😅
To my knowledge they do not make a beer that tastes like wine. Gotta give you credit for hangin in there. 🐓🐓❤️
Hahaha so brave dear. 4 days to go till you graduate from this challenge. Best of luck! Cheers to your beerney (beer+journey)... Hahha Im so corny on this one .
Beerney 😂😅😂😅
Oh my God!
🤣🤣🤣
HAHAHAHAH You are the Best
😂
No creo llegar a los 7 días sin antes caer hospitalizada de lo que me he reído con este reto abigail jajajaja es mas mientras escribo hasta las lagrimas me salen, muy chistosa esa foto con la cara de bod esponja antes y después de probar la cerveza.
Siempre feliz de leerte, besos y abrazos mi bella amigaa...
Thank you for stopping by !!! Love your sense of humour @jayoxaju 😂😘
Yo amo la esencia de @abigail-dantes. Un fuerte abrazo.
A beer challenge may do even better in the southern hemisphere where it is still warm. It is cold and even snowing in many places in the norther hemisphere - makes it a little difficult to enjoy chilled beer. Just sayin'!
Great participation in the challenge, and some nice images of yourself. :-)
Uuuhhhhhhh GREAT TO HEAR!! Get ready! I am gojng to nominate you on Saturday 😍❤️
In normal circumstances I would have gladly accepted such a challenge but am going through some health challenges already. Thanks anyway but I can only observe this challenge and cheer for you.
Next one then 😊. You take care 🌷
hehe... from a teaspoon to a swig! Progress! I am curious if anyone likes their first taste of beer? Or if it's like bitter melon, an acquired taste? You're actually the perfect test subject for a study like this since you're like a newborn baby when it comes to beer. 👼🏻
This could end in a very interesting Psychological experiment 🤔🤓
Funny challenge! :D
Maybe I'll try it out, too. The challenge, not the beer. :D
cheers
I don’t recomend the beer @luegenbaron! :)
I don't know, how to put it, but I have to admit: you have a stunning face, Abigail.
Btw: I do feel you - taste is binary. There are people who lack it and the ones who don't like beer.
Oh Ego ... you made me blush 😍
You are WITTY! It is official I am your fan!
Oh, heavens, what did I do wrong? And as I thought, I displayed myself successfully as an antisocial grump...I tried so hard and got so far...
.... until you met me!! 😍
But, there are two ways of seeing this, I believe. Either you are not using the right approach to portray yourself as an antisocial grump. Or ... I am drawn to antisocial grumps. 😉 Bed time for me ! Take care Ego :)
Or MAYBE it's time for you to think about your life choices 🤔
Or wait, no, don't do it, I don't want you to drown in a pit of deep despair. Otherwise you are going to end up like me. No one would want that 😶
I would LOVE to end up like you Ego: a good writer, funny, well-ready and smart! 😍
Oh my...oh.
Well, that's the first time, someone told me that.
Now you made me blush ._.
What stunning face...?? Lol.. I cant see anything oo.. Tho, I can imagine her face, how beautiful it is. But Im done imagining.. I need to see the real thing.
Oh, boy.
Hehe.. Yh
