Oh, It Was A Corona

This man won’t live to see 30

You’ll have to forgive my post here, I am trying to break out of a writing slump.

With that in mind, I was attempting to think of anything beer-fun I could post to help my slump and for some reason a scene from Point Break popped into my head.

It was a scene from a party and the “Ex-Presidents” were telling surfing stories. I remember one involving beer being flung around but I couldn’t remember if it was generic movie beer or actually a beer.

Let’s see:

Oh okay, it was a Corona, man. Good to know I guess. Hopefully this will free me up to start writing more relevant beer posts again.

By the way, their biggest surf debate is dated. It is now, definitively, Nazare: in Portugal:

The Golden Hour of Beer Drinking

The Golden Hour of drinking and photography, combined

I don’t think it’s talked about enough: A good beer buzz.

Maybe you are a normal fuck. You don’t need beer or pot to open up an environment for you to act like a normal person.

Sadly (or not), I need a beer or two to actually enjoy things. To think like a norm.

That came out wrong; I enjoy things without beer. I am not THAT bad off. But my anxiety filled mind quiets down a bit after a good beer or two.

The right music and a second beer in? I am usually feeling pretty good. A nice buzz, man. That’s what I like, what I need. It’s a big part of why I like beer.

That’s the “Golden Hour” in beer drinking. For filmmakers it’s that last hour of light, when everything looks magical on film.

For beer drinking it’s that buzz after two beers. It doesn’t last long, maybe an hour – one foot in reality, awake and still making good decisions, one foot into a mind altered state where everything is kinda fun.

I am not afraid to admit it. A nice little buzz is what I look for most drinking sessions. I like it. It’s nice. It should be enjoyed and talked about more often.

Cheers to a nice buzz! ??

This Rhinelander Beer Board Sign Is LIT

Rhinelander Beer Board Sign

I don’t know anything about Rhinelander brewery but I want that sign board!! It is simply perfect.

Especially if you’re a home-brewer like the owner, John Harry, you can put your own beers on it:

John is so lucky to get that. I searched all of eBay and found nothing like it.

If you see something similar out there, let me know. I would love to have something like it up in my garage.

BTW, John is the historian for Point Brewery, the second oldest brewery in Wisconsin. Sounds like a pretty cool thing to be.

Sierra Nevada Sampler Draws Weirdness

Atomic Sierra Nevada Hoppy Sampler

Look at that Atomic Torpedo exclusive in the new sampler 12-pack from Sierra Nevada! I will be looking out for this.

Sierra announced it on Twitter today

and it drew a couple strange replies:

Ummmm what, Shane? Thanks for the geography lesson I guess.

Sierra brewing over-hopped beer? Is this Tweet from 1996?

Samples bring out the weirdos.
