Russian Beer & Cranium!

Last night Noelle's sister, Bailey, can home for the weekend from Northeastern and we had a bit of a celebration. Obviously we played the board game Cranium, it wouldn't be in the post title otherwise. :)



For those of you who haven't played Cranium before, you need to find three friends and play tonight. You play in pairs and tasks are selected for your team to complete before you can advance. Categories cover four different skill sets: data, spelling, acting, and drawing with tasks that have to be completed in various ways. Examples include drawing with your eyes closed and spelling words backwards. Great fun!



Now lets discuss Baltika Beer. Baltika has to be one of the strangest things I've seen in quite a while, well, until I checked out their website this morning. Our Baltika of choice is their lager, which coincidently, is packaged in two liter plastic bottles. WAIT! Don't back out of the blog just yet! I know what you're thinking, "Plastic Beer Bottles?" Well I was skeptical as well when I first saw one, but then I saw that the whole bottle only cost $2.60! The beer itself was pretty good, not too dark or light with a nice flavor. And don't worry, you don't have to drink it out of a plastic bottle, we used pints. Which averaged out to about 70 cents a pint. So, give it a shot.

-Enjoy
