So Far So Good On That Beer Focus

Welcome in to Drinking & Thinking.

First off, I am still keeping my drinking theme for 2023: stopping myself from having another beer at night when I am already tired. It’s such a waste of a beer when I do. WOW [sarcastic] two weeks of keeping up a theme/resolution, I am sooooo good at life!

The ‘Weeks Of Younger’ Returns!

Russian River has announced the dates for their famous Pliny The Younger season (March 24th-April 6th). It’s been kinda up-in-the-air the past few years with the Pandemic and all. But this looks good [fingers crossed]. Maybe I’ll even find some in Fresno like last year, if I don’t make it up to Santa Rosa.

Music To Beer With

Sad to hear of the passing of Jeff Beck. He was a big guitar hero for me. Embarrased to realize this week that I haven’t been thinking about him for a long time.

As one does when someone passes, I have been revisting his playing and solidifiing my love for his music.

I am currently drinking a Fremont Brewing “Hustle” DIPA while listening to him as I write this. I plan to do more of this ‘beer & Beck’ combo all week.

Jeff is one of the most underated musicians of all time. I am embarrsed it took his death for me to remember this.

Another Thing To Beer With This Week

I am happy to have Martin Luther King Day off from work, Monday.

Happy because days off are good, and another because it is a big NBA day. The games start early and are televised all day. That is a fine excuse for day drinking.

Something about live sports happening at a time normally reserved for work, delights me. Couple that with drinking beer during a time I would normally be at work, makes it all that more awesome.

Okay. Thanks for the read. Hope you have a great week and find something good to have a beer with!
