Milestone

Quick update here. Yesterday was a milestone. I ordered my first alcoholic beverage. Legally! YAYY! I ordered schop which is chilean for draft beer. It was a frothy glass of Kuntsman, whose motto is das guet beir. Apparently Chile had a large flux of German immigration in the past and now happily churns out beer in European quality. Schop tends to be darker then it´s budweiser and heinekein brothers. Which means its more like Guinness, so P. LaVee I expect you to get on it and get yourself some schop. However, there are a plentitude of others. Cristal and Escudo seem to be the popular beers here, along with heinekein and budweiser in a distant fourth. You can buy a liter of beer here for about a dollar, so Cheers!
