Great editing by Brian, and he's a natural in front of the camera too. (My other half became more natural as the evening went on...)

This does sound like it was a lot of fun, but perhaps for the Guinness Book of Records instead ??

With all super videos of Uruguay who would watch that?

Linda - you probably will not beleive this, but Brent doesn't drink alot usually.(not now, University days were a different story...)

The idea behind it was to be a guest blog for a mate of Brian's who does a beer blog (there are blogs on everything these days - right?!), and tasting the beers of Uruguay would obviously be a novelty for someone from the States. I guess you don't have to be a rocket scientist to realise that drinking small amounts out of lots of bottles of beer will - yes - produce intoxication. But I don't see I crime in that, when it is not a regular occurrence and no-one is driving after the fact.

I am starting to wonder if my sense of humour is as warped as my husband's, though, since I did find it amusing to watch the video - and so did my elderly parent's in law in NZ!

It is in no way intended to show typical life in Uruguay ;-) But those of us that have lived here long enough will know that, right? Otherwise, it would have been a mate tasting blog...

I hope I don't lose my sense of humour as I age - that would have to be one of the most depressing things that could happen to me... Different strokes for different folks, I certainly understand that, though. Each to their own, I guess ;-) Would hate to try and impose our fun-loving life-style on anyone else.

We are really enjoying our life in Uruguay, now that we are settled here, so many lovely people we have met, and great friends we have made. I wish I had known, when I was young, that reaching 40 would be so much fun!

And, that means, sometimes, even things that are pretty openly talked about on TV won't fly here.

The video is a nice display of some expats having fun... no need for it to turn into a big debate, though that is another form of expat fun!

Maybe Brent can engage us some more without mentioning activities we all know will cause blindness!

My sincerest apologies to those bespectacled, or who have become somewhat short-sighted in their perspective of life. The Uruguay Beer Blog was simply two mates having fun with their families and friends. It was conducted in a safe environment, where children could play, women were treated as equals and with respect, and one could have a few beers in conviviality.

It was not intended as a definitive guide to all the beers in Uruguay. More as a satirical parody that poked fun at ourselves in a non-threatening way whilst enjoying a few beers together. Are there truly any better times in life than that? Remember humility and remember laughter? We did have a great time. Sorry if you didn’t whilst watching it.

For those of you who have engendered a jaundiced myopic view of life, I commend the beer Maestra as perhaps being more in keeping with your palate, and a way to keep the rhythm beating in your life.

I prefer the Patricia.

Cheers

Brent

Give me Tannat or give me water :-)

Local whiskies are made here but in my view they aren't the most delicious of beverages.

The ROU also produces excellent brandy (officially known as Cognac by special permission of the French who we fed on credit during the end of WW II, ) some of the grappa is excellent too and the local rum is passable.
