Despite my unwillingness to personally commit to the Mug Club Challenge, I am an avid supporter of my friends' Mug Club Challenge quest and will be frequenting Bukowski's as much as I can to cheer them on. Being the fierce competitor that I am, however, I have set out on a challenge of my own; The Hobo Special Club. This consists of 4 of Bukowski's finest 40oz-ers, which includes a hot dog with each purchase. A classy touch from management if you ask me. While this pales in comparison to the quantity of brews the mug club needs to consume, I think my path certainly has some hurdles of its own.
First up, Miller High Life. Thinking back, I believe the last time I had Miller High Life was in college, and at the time I equated it to dirty keg water (or what I assumed such a liquid would taste like). Upon 1st sip, it wasn't quite as bad as I remembered. It was still bad, just not as awful as I expected. Solid start. Upon 2nd sip, I scouted out the bottle's expiration date to make sure this hadn't in fact been sitting around since my college days. It hadn't, which confirmed that the questionable flavor was intentional. Upon 3rd sip, my hot dog arrived and I forged through. The rest is history.
