[sung in Incubus voice] Iiiiii Wish You Were BeEEer
beer notebooking ahead

I have been encountering a lot of Incubus in my beer travels this week. Some of it from Out Of The Barrel (pictured above), but it’s also been on the radio a lot and elsewhere - just one of those weird things that happen when you’re paying attention. For some reason, the Universe algorithm wanted me to pay attention to Incubus.
Commonplace Beer Book
I keep a specific notebook (Moleskines are my favorite) of beer-related thoughts, which I call my Beer Journal. When I am sitting around by myself and having a beer, I keep it next to me (or I use the Notes app on my phone) and jot down some dopey line that comes into my head or a good quote I pick up from somewhere else. These kinds of notebooks are also referred to as a commonplace notebook.
Anyway, I planned on placing these here from time to time as a paid subscriber reward, but I haven’t turned on that feature here (yet), so here are some random thoughts:
Time and a good beer are precious.
How long do buzzes last? Can you keep a buzz all day? How many buzzes can you have in a day?
Buzzes are becoming more elusive. I don’t like that.
“Popping” is what I will now call it when you pour a little more beer into your glass. You are freshening your beer; you’re popping it.
I got stung by a wasp yesterday, and it still hurts. I wonder if alcohol makes a wasp sting worse - I will not look into this further.
Leave beer better than you found it.
Beer Poll Alert!
Yes, ‘all of the above’ works for me. But ‘relaxation’ is number one.
Thank you for opening and reading. I hope you have a nice relaxing week with your beers, and the Universe sends some good music your way.

Peace. Beer. Metal.



Incubus is one of my favorite bands so lucky you that you're hearing them everywhere. That's how Ant always sings I wish you were here, 🤣🤣. If you've never heard Aqueous Transmission, check it out, it goes with your beer drinking, "relaxation" theme. Rdrpalooza was wishing you were here, BUT maybe next year!! 🤞Hope things are looking up Mikey!! Cheers!🍻
Now I wish I was a beer drinker...
