A return to beer writing?

You don’t always get the chance to match your beer’s label art with the actual thing the label depicts, but you can do this with many Tioga Sequoia beers. I did this last week on a hike in Yosemite National Park. Half Dome is in the background, along with Yosemite Valley. Taken from Mount Watkins.

Hi. I am back. I missed you.

PERSONAL TREND: Being a little ass

A new thing for me that I am really enjoying is… when someone is leaving a bar, taproom, or restaurant I am at and they say “goodbye” to someone (staff, people they were sitting with, people from other tables they knew), I quietly mutter to myself “yeah, get the FUCK out of here.”

I may or may not have developed a secret beef with this person; they may be the nicest person ever, but it really doesn’t matter; I still will say it.

It feels really good for some reason, and it makes me giggle when I do it. I can’t explain why. Please try it sometime and see if it works for you, too.

LOCAL TREND: A fine IPA, Boss

I have been having a lot of this beer lately, Boss

“What are you drinkin’ there BOSS?” Fresno dudes like to use “Boss” as a general name to call a guy whose name they don’t know.

“How is that beer, BOSS?” It’s fine. Totally just fine.

Unrelated side note, so many of the IPAs taste nearly identical. Just fine. It may be my problem as I drink mostly West Coast IPAs, but I stand by this. It’s fine. Boring is fine sometimes.

Many thanks to you for being here still and opening this up. I am finding my way back to writing again and hope this is the start of regular posting. Please hand with me. And I hope you find some good beers out there!

Peace. Beer. Metal.
