Chips & Beer With Roots Music

How is your bedside beer manor?

Hi. Welcome to Drinking & Thinking and thanks for being here.

Chips. Dip. Beer. It’s All I Could Ever Need

Pints & Panels always with the good beer pairing graphics. Chips & dip with beer is my favorite of the earthy food things. Sadly they are one of the highest calorie activities to be undertaking. Why you do this to us, God!?

Drinking Digest: Bed Beer 🛌

The other night I decided to go to bed early (like, before midnight), which is super rare for me. I felt like I needed to bring my half drank beer to bed with me. I guess as a “reward” to myself for going to bed at a decent hour.

Of course I fell right to sleep, never enjoying the rest of the beer. I don’t know if this was a good or bad thing - kinda both I guess.

Music To Beer With 🎶

I am not really into folkish/American roots music much, but every once in a while I will be in the mood for it.

This is some Elyse Weinberg (with Neil Young playing guitar) “Houses”:

Good to pair with a reflective, mellow, loose or home-y afternoon or evening with your beer. [Found via Observations]

The Links To Beer

• Bringing a beer magazine/website back from the dead? Sounds rad to me! Cheers to Andy Crouch & John Holl for reviving All About Beer.

• Saturday was Indie Book Store Day (it’s like Record Store Day but with books - as you might have guessed). I love supporting indie shops of all kinds when I can, hope you have a good bookstore in your area to check out and maybe a good library too.

• Writer Emily Saladino asks if beer REALLY does taste better on draft. It does, right? RIGHT?!

Alright, Imma Heading Out

Thanks for the read! My intention is to have these out on Saturday mornings but they have been floating into Sundays lately. Hopefully I’ll get back to Saturday next week 🤞.

Be safe out there enjoying your beers and have a great week!
