The drinking started on an empty stomach. That was my first mistake.

I ate a packed lunch of salami, cheese, Cheese-Its, cookies and water (in that order) at 11:30 in the morning. Drank a diet soda around 3:00. Don’t be jealous of me.

Beer One: 25 West from Moonraker Brewing.

• Clear IPA
• 6.6% ABV
• I rated it a 4.
• Full pour

Beer Two: Some Grass from Moonraker Brewing.

• Hazy IPA
• 7% ABV
• I rated it a 4
• Full pour

Beer Three: Unknown: It was either Yeastbound & Down from Moonraker, or Tiger Uppercut from Fieldwork (I guess I wasn’t paying close attention).

• Hazy IPA
• 8% or 8.5% ABV
• Rated…4.2?
• 12oz pour
