Music I’ve Been Listening To With My Beer: The Mountain Goats “Bleed Out” on Cassette

Can of “Taking It Easy” IPA from Original Pattern Brewing with a tape (all red) of the Mountain Goats “Bleed Out” cassette

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:

Kinda rad “Bleed Out” cassette

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. ✌️🍻📻

Can you tell I got paid today?

I will be updating this post throughout the weekend with relevant beer, drinking and life journalling. Feel free to leave comments all weekend. Cheers! ?

Saturday Night Drinking Post: Three Beers Edition

Good evening fellow beer (and maybe blogging) enthusiast. I’m starting late tonight because of a busy day of being a dad, watching the ending to Spike Lee’s HBO Epicenters series on 9/11 (it’s good) and the fact that I only have three beers.

I knew I wasn’t going to be able to buy more beers today and I only had three left so I waited as long as I could so I could have a decent drinking session and maybe have a productive buzz.

Live Drinking Blog:

  • Mammoth Brewing’s “Yosemite Pale” is beer number one. A beer I am familiar with, nicely priced, and a little bit old-school but not in a bad way.
  • So, do I have this right: GABF (virtual) and Craft Brewers Conference (in person) happened roughly at the same time this year? … um ookay?…
  • 10:18: New Beer Alert! ? Wren House Brewing session IPA. Super stoked to have Phoenix’s Wren House in Fresno somehow:
  • Watching Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Chrystal Skull because that is what’s on at the moment (Showtime). It’s still a large disappointment but it also isn’t that terrible.
  • Another nice night in Fresno:

12:29: I’m back! I had a bit of a family emergency but everything is cool now. On to my 3rd and final beer:

1:33AM PST: What a rip. Never achieved a buzz. Just disappointment. Oh freaking well. Maybe next Saturday.
