if you are a fan of beer then we have an
event for you to check out and if you're
not a fan of beer this could be how you
get into suds we're talking about the
summer beer fest which is happening in
Royal Oak this Friday and joining us is
our resident foodie Michelle Oliver yes
good morning Michelle as well as Erin
Tyrell a certified Cicerone beer server
and the owner of Blue Note beverage so
what is the Cicerone well a cicerone is
a certification for people in the beer
industry similar to like a wine
sommelier and it it it's kind of a
creates a foundational language for all
of us to talk about and understand beer
in other words you're a beer expert it
sounds about the event well the event is
happening in Royal Oak these these
events happen quarterly during this are
seasonal rather and this is the summer
beer fest nice summer beer fest so we
have a game to play I pitched this idea
but I am not privy to any of this
information basically we're gonna do a
blind taste test with beer so all these
beers have different flavors and them
correct corrective and it's our job to
figure out what flavor it is and are you
feeling confident no I I'm not really
feeling confident either but I'm hoping
that Poehler maybe well okay so the
flavors that we have to identify our
strawberry rhubarb mango blueberry
pancake and grapefruit you could do this
just probably smelling the beer yeah and
I tried to make this as easy as possible
for you guys too so we should have some
fun like Michelle here you are thank you
and we don't know what this is or what
flavor it is
hmm I have a suspicion I could be really
wrong I feel like I want to taste them
all before I officially decide but hang
on just a second I know it's not that I
know it's not that I'm gonna go with
this all right next all right this one
we should have some drinking or you know
jeopardy has drink drinking music
mmm I know what that one is there we go
okay
whoa I know exactly what that is a lot
of these are they're just made okay what
are you saying for this last one last
one
you never can drink too much beer okay
all right okay hang on just a second let
me get mine out there okay all right
we'll start with the last one that you
had okay the one that we just want to
decide that is a strawberry rhubarb from
Detroit garage project out of Detroit
Michigan Congrats I think you got that
one I think so this it's the director I
said mango
he said strawberry yeah and so we'll go
to this one over here so obviously that
is the grapefruit Shandy turbot Shandy
from hopping frog brew back in Ohio I'm
gonna do a horribly I'm two for two
all right this is the mango wheat from
Atwater brewery
we're chasin car completely crushes me
except for the one we've both got this
one this is the blueberry pancake
milkshake from Rochester Mills brewery
in Rochester Michigan and you what's
funny is I'm not as much of a beer
drinker as I am like a scotch kind of
suitors odd for me to get four for four
I came out I'm gonna say I'm a wine
drinker so that's why I did not do well
we should have a match yeah at the end
