An obscure beer blog about drinking for yourself
Have not quite gotten through my previous haul and yet I went out and got another one – gotta prepare the weekend, ya know.
I didn’t mean to get so many New Glory beers but that is what happened. Pretty excited about that new Liquid Gravity beer too – WCIPA is strong with this haul.
I am sorry for being a douche here but I had Pliny The Younger today. And it was as perfect as it ever was.
Totally was not expecting to have it. I knew it was in town but I wasn’t in the mood to wait in line then not get any, so I didn’t put it on my radar.
But, so, I met a friend at Out Of The Barrel to exchange some beers. He was on his way to meet friend at another local beer bar, Goldstein’s, to see if he could get some Younger.
I said “oh geeez, okay, what the hell, I go with you!” Thinking it will be pointless but at least I can say I tried.
To my surprise, I walked right in, went to the bar, immediately got someone over to ask what I wanted. I was feeling embarrassed because surely they no longer had the Younger since they tapped the keg an hour ago, but I asked anyway
Me “You don’t happen to still have any Pliny the Younger do you?”
Bartender “Yes, we do!”
Me (Slightly shocked and excited) ”Oh my gosh… um I will have one please.”
And so it came to be. I politely and unceremoniously walked into a Fresno bar and had one of the most sought after beers in the world.
It was amazing as always. The aroma brought back all the great times I have had with beer. I am very thankful to have had it in my town. I hope all beer lovers get to have it one day.
Just stopping to notice something about a certain group of Beer Twitter people.
The people that made fun of us Indie Beer supporters being upset at our favorite breweries getting bought-out. The people that trashed us and the Craft Beer movement.
I see many of those people getting upset about New York Times buying out Wordle. Fearing that New York Times will exploit the wholesomeness of the game app.
Well well well. Now you finally get how we feel. It just took a word game app instead of a brewery buyout, to do it.
It is a 10 out of 10. Using your own brilliant can art for another brilliant version of can art? Well done, Slice.
