The Layout: What The Day Of Drinking May Bring

Today’s drinking possibilities

These are the beers up for drinking today. I will (hopefully) not be drinking all of them, but they are the ones in play.

I did a beer run yesterday so I am flush with possibilities.

Activities scheduled:

  • Swimming. Upper 90s today, might be the last Sunday I would want to get in the water as pool season winds down.
  • Rams vs. Cards at 1:00 PST. My Rams look like they are still hungover from their Super Bowl victory. I think they will lose today.
  • House Of The Dragon watch. It will be the time jump episode as there will be several new actors playing established character rolls. It will be interesting to see how long it takes to get used to that. Great season so far.

The Pales are the most likely to go. The “Fresh To Death” is probably going to start things off as it is a 5.6 alc.

Humble Sea “Boatload Of Citra” is going down too as it also looks like a good day-drinker.

Let’s hope I stay lucid for House of the Dragon tonight, that is the most likely time for the Pliny.

Cheers to you and your drinking possibilities today!

Hey This Was Fuckin’ Funny and You Didn’t Give A Shit: Don’t Forget Yo Roll Your Hazzies!

I did a hazzies beer rollin’ bit across the social medias the other night and it got a big “Meh!” From the fuckin’ Internets.

Eat it, you stupid Internet, THAT is quality content!! 🤣😂🤣🍻

Okay, well, it’s not THAT funny, I suppose.

But it is a real thing, rolling your hazy IPAs. Why? It mixes it. Gets the yeast sentiment moving around and makes for a more even beer. Hazzies require a little work, but worth it to most.

I Am So Tired Of Taking Pictures Of My Beer

Blind Pig IPA from Russian River Brewing
I had to push myself to take this

Everything is fucking exhausting. Including taking pictures of my beer.

Are we not all sick of it?

Sick of Instagram. Sick of posting a picture with our Untappd check-ins?

I know I know, you might be saying:

“My guy, you don’t have to take a picture! You can just open a beer and drink it and not tell a soul. Or check-in your Uniques on Untappd, without a picture.”

Yes yes, and I do that.

But then… the Untappd check-in is super boring without a picture.

And I can’t get more followers on Instagram by NOT posting pictures.

So pictures it is.

I just wanted to rant that I am tired of it, is all.

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
Original Pattern Brewing’s “Taking It Easy” paired with “Bleed Out” cassette from The Mountain Goats

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. ✌️🍻📻
