I don’t know where someone clued me into the Mountain Goats but they did. I am not gaga from them, but they are cool.
I liked the new song “Training Montage” enough that it motivated me enough to buy the tape of their new album “Bleed Out”.
It’s a fun red:
I drank an Original Pattern Brewing SIPA with it called “Taking It Easy”. It was a nice beer and I did what it told me and took it easy while I listened.
I recommend both things. ✌️🍻📻
I am starting a new feature on the blog: Something I did while drinking a beer. (It could use a better name)
Well, I guess it’s sort of a spin-off of my Ambient Reviews.
Anyway, these are things that happened while drinking a Pale from Elk Grove’s Flatland Brewing called “The Local – Sacramento Style Pale”.
I was sitting in my backyard and…
I saw several birds. There was a sparrow and a bluejay that ate some food from my bird feeder.
I listened to the PA of this high school baseball game being played a half-block away:
? Baseball Final ?

Listened to a hotrod rumble through my neighborhood.
Saw a squirrel bury something in my planter bed.
Agreed on how nice a day it is:
It is indeed https://t.co/zZ9mkIAq3v

Earned the “To Go Level 48” badge while checking this beer in on Untappd.
Admired my new Brumate with painted metal that makes it feel like a car finish.
And that takes us to the end of the beer. Thanks for reading! ?✌️
This is the start of a (hopefully) series on the blog where I summarize a drinking session I have.
This one is the NFC Championship game between the San Francisco 49ers and my Los Angeles Rams.
3:30 | Start time
3 | Amount of beers
2 | Different slasas
30 | Corns chips eaten
6-8 | Mixed olives eaten
4.5 | Highest rating of the three beers (60 Days In Hell).
1 | Buzzes acquired
20-17 | Final score. Rams defeat the 49ers to win the NFC and the right to play in the S*%#r Bowl. ?
8:30 | Stop time
Session over. Time to take a little break and begin another one. ?✌️
You Allagash White fucks.
I want just one of you, ONE OF YOU, to admit that Allagash White is not for everyone.
It is a niche style beer!!
Hello!? McFly!? Think, McFly, think.
Belgian Yeast and Wheat Beer in general, kinda fucking suck… well, suck to a lot of people anyway. Allagash White Fan always fails to mention this when complaining.
And then there is the disconnect of what the upper beer geek crust thinks Untappd is and what it actually is.
I mean really, how long is it going to take you Untappd haters to understand the app? It is not for rating a beer on how well it is made. Nope.
It is an app for rating how a beer tastes to a person. A human beer drinker. Not a brewer, or Beer Twitter, or Beer Instagram.
So when you understand the context, 3.76 is a very good rating for a shit style. Is there a Belgian Yeast inspired Wheat Beer ranking higher? I’m not going to take the time to figure it out but it’s HIGHLY doubtful.
I now present to you the most accurate Allagash White rating on Untappd:
Belgian Yeast is the Brussel Sprout of the beer world. Loved by some, disliked by most.
So Allagash White Dude should be happy with that rating. And maybe shut the hell up, for once.
