I sometimes have beer-influenced thoughts about the little things in drinking life. Randomly beginning with these five:
That tingle you get through your body when the alcohol from the first sip of beer hits you right. It doesn't happen every time at all, but when it does, yowza. This may be a thing that just happens to me because every time I mention it to someone they don’t know what the hell I’m talking about.
How big of a bummer it is when you go to pour more beer in your glass and the can is empty. Sadness.
How nice of a feeling it is when you go to pour a beer from a can and there is more in it than you thought.
How happy, relaxed, and sometimes creative a nice beer can make you.
Taprooms and beer gardens are usually the most interesting-looking businesses in their neighborhood. Underrated as a third space.
I have a 6th thing. In a recent
newsletter he referenced Tom Hodgkinson’s piece on How To Sleep Well - a 12 things to do to sleep like an expert, list. Number two hits home:Drink lots of beer. Three pints of good ale each evening guarantees me a good night’s sleep. Good beer is a sleeping draught. I’m always surprised by sleep guides which say “avoid alcohol”.
I have been known two or three pints of ale before bed and I sleep very well, FYI.
Welp, that’s it. I’ll leave you alone, let you get back to your day. Have a good one and I’ll talk to ya later.

Peace ✌️ Beer 🍻 & Metal 🤘
I don’t get that feeling from the first sip.
I do get a blast of excitement rush through my veins and my taste buds get tingling making my mouth water for the beer that at home waiting for me !!
I know it’s not the ALKS, it’s the HOPS !!!
That citrus euphoria HOPS deliver are so addictive, like the feeling they give me at random times, I gave it a name.. “HOP-FLASHES” !
