A beer blog about drinking for yourself
Hello.
How have you been?
That bad? Well, it never lasts forever.
Settle your heart or something.
Thank goodness you had me this whole time.
Don’t leave me here alone.
Oh good you’re back. You didn’t fall in did you?
Heyohhhhhh, that is the buzz kicking in. Sometimes a DIPA serves a purpose now doesn’t it? We can’t all be “Lo-Fi” brah.
I hope I was enjoyable.
Don’t worry, there is always another beer.
[This is from the perspective of the beer I drank if it… talked. to me.]
Every year on the Perfect Pour we wonder if Sierra Nevada Brewing makes multiple batches of Celebration Ale, or do they do it all in one shot.
Well this season, in year of our Beer Lord 2021, I can all but confirm there are at least two batches!!
The first batch to hit Fresno was canned on 10/08/21.
It was looking like that was it because several six-packs purchased later resulted in the same date.
But today (after it sat untouched for a week in my fridge as I moved through previously bought sixers) I have discovered a second batch:
11/05/21. It’s at least a second canning date. But with that large of span between dates we can assume that’s a different batch.
Does Sierra have a third batch in them before Celebration goes away? We’ll keep checking.
By the way, the second batch tastes the same as the first, as far as I can tell.
UPDATE!: There are even more batches. This from an Untappd friend, there is a 10/5 & 10/21 batch!:
AND, Nick from the Perfect Pour found a batch at Costco that is from the end of September! So that is five batches and counting!

A foggy night in Fresno calls for a Foggy IPA from Humble Sea Brewing. The night and beer are equally foggy. Only one is tasty though.
I write these hangover posts to help future me and maybe future you, have less hangovers and stuff.
I had three beers last night and woke up with a Level 2 (scale of 1 to 5, five being bad) hangover.
Beer One: East Brother Brewing: Gold IPA. 7.3%. Hops unknown. 16oz can.
Beer Two: Liquid Gravity Brewing: Mo Diggity DDH WCIPA. 7%. All Mosaic Hop. 16oz can.
Beer Three: East Brother Brewing : Gold IPA (same as beer one).
Drinking session: 8PM to Midnight.
Setup: Foot long tuna Subway sandwich at 6:00 PM (slightly embarrassing – work dinner). No food afterwards.
Water: 16oz of water during drinking session.
Normally I drink two 16oz beers a session with an occasional 12oz or 16oz beer. And I usually don’t have more than a Level 1 hangover (aware I had beers the previous night but no headache or sluggishness).
Verdict: I think the combo of only one glass of water, not a lot of food for a base and a slight uptick in alcohol consumed all contributed to this morning’s headache heavy hangover.
Lesson: Hydrate, dumbass.
