My God, that sounds interesting. This beer is soooo freaking good. The guava sour taste is so fresh, it’s unreal. At the risk of...the taste just runs down the back of your throat and fills the sinus cavity with tropical goodness. I honestly can’t remember ever drinking a sour IPA, but damn if I don’t think this couldn’t be one of the best. So balanced with tropical/sour citrus/fruity goodness.

See, this is why it's important to talk to real people about these beers (or whatever you're interested in). The elevator pitch on this beer wouldn't have sold me but you just did. If I ever see it anywhere.

The German Chocolate Cupcake variant was bit disappointing and way too sweet. I was a bit apprehensive about buying this one because of that. Very glad I did, solid beer and nails the descriptors to a T.

Well, my promotion was finally announced. Officially an assistant manager to accompany my “beer specialist” title. After 12+ straight months of beer profit growth under my watch, it’s nice to be rewarded for my efforts. So imma drink to that. 

In other news, I placed our first order of Bearded Iris and Southern Grist for the store today. Here’s to hoping we sell out fast.

Congrats and well earned!

Had high hopes reading the description on their site

“Insert SuperEIGHT (the beer). This sessionable super gose is brewed with eight heroic ingredients: prickly pear, mango, boysenberry, blackberry, raspberry, elderberry, kiwi juices, toasted quinoa and an ample addition of red Hawaiian sea salt! Okay, so technically that's nine, but it 'gose' without say that there's going to be salt. These unique ingredients give this beer a vibrant red color, with delicious flavors of berries and watermelon, along with a tart - yet refreshing - finish.”

Meh. It’s not terrible. Will appease many. But it’s just another example of a major brewery throwing in a bunch of wild fruit and then falling short of the mark. A smaller brewery could kill it with.

Why am I drawing a blank??? Maybe don't tell me, I'm guessing I'm gonna be super jealous...

On a Tuesday.

During Nurses’ week, when there’s food, drinks and stuff everywhere.

Finally escaped. Senior tech, so I have to accompany them on their tracers.

Can't even really drink. I'm the technician on-call, go figure. s*** week to be on call. Got me last time they visited too.

And now my 13 year has old had a mental breakdown and has had her phone taken away. This is shaping up to be a s*** week.

It's almost Wednesday?

[ShocksMyBrain 9,776]

Curious what everyone’s every day beer lately. 

For me it’s been CCB Jai Alai and Monday Night Slap Fight.

If it's not the worst day I've ever had, it's easily top 5. Christ what a s***ty day.

After the litany of bull**** today at the office, get home and get ready to take Jillian to soccer camp. Wife had gone with Sadie to keeper camp at UAB.

Say to my oldest "let's go for a walk while your sister practices," mainly because I'm tired of her vegging out on her phone every evening and I prefer not to leave her alone at the house for 2 hours. She refuses. I ask why, she feeds me bull****. Call her on it. She threatens to self harm TO MY FACE. Call my dad to take Jill to camp because I obviously can't leave someone threatening to self harm alone. Total meltdown at that point. "I want mom! Let me go upstairs!" "You aren't leaving my presence until she gets here." Finally opens up after a few episodes of My Lottery Dream Home, but still won't say much to me. Momma gets home and calls her on her attempt at emotionally manipulative bull****.

God damnit, do I need a beer or five.

Can't wait for pubescent girl hormones to completely wreck my life.

Slap Fight is good. So is Han Brolo. 

For me it's currently SW's 420 G13 Strain or whatever their normal weed beer is called b/c of the $5.99 price tag for a sixer. And I like the 16 oz format. Price is always going to factor into it for me. 

I might shift to something lighter and drier as summer sets in. And then I'll find something maltier in the fall.

Eh she does it from time to time. Sees a therapist, so we're working on it. 

Just absolutely did not need it this week, when s*** is hitting the fan at the hospital.
