. . .So keep that pinky finger on the glass you asshole and don’t swig it back like a shot you tool.
Seriously, right now is a great time to be a beer lover. There are over 1,400 breweries in the United States alone, bringing this country back from the dark ages of post-prohibition when really only the uniform (and decidedly bland and lame) pale lager represented beer in the good ol’ USA. Today we can experience an insane number of different beers produced by breweries all over the country and the world in an eclectic number of styles and flavors.
Listen I won’t begrudge anybody who has a favorite domestic (I personally admit to being pretty partial to PBR) but I can’t stand when all beer is regarded in the lump category of flavorless watered down shit partially made with adjuncts like rice (fucking rice god damnit! Ggggaaahhh!). I mean, if that’s your fucking thing then shit, you’re like an ignorant kid in a fucking candy factory and all you choose to eat is god damned Necco Wafers (editors note: if you happen to be a fan of Necco Waffers I mean no . . . wait, no, fuck you, Necco Wafers are gross shit and you should know it!).
Seriously, try some fucking beer. You may just be surprised at what is out there. I think that this is the expressed point of this blog, to get people to try, and hopefully enjoy, something new (also probably about a shit ton of profanity and occassional wrathful outburst). I admit that I don’t know all there is to know about the wide and wonderful world of beer (but I am sure eager to learn and experience more), but I do greatly enjoy the beverage and it’s wide varieties. I have been drinking beer* for the better part of the last four years, and over the past year have begun to brew my own. I hang out with a number of other brewers and beer lovers and find that much of my social life involves comparing notes on homebrews or recently tried beers from far off exotic place (or just right up the road in Asheville, NC).
But all and all, I want to stress that we remember . . . it’s a fucking beer, so just enjoy it.
