Well it’s just 23 taps too many, I guess

and I did something weird

Hi.

Cheers to the Firestone Walker XPA six-pack I got!

I have had a thin beer budget the past couple of months, leaving me with old and less satisfying beers. But the XPA was hella fresh and satisfying. I even got to share a couple and they worked out well, helping to lay the foundation of a nice Saturday afternoon. 🍻

Beer Buy Prompt: Happy Beers

One of the two singles end at The Market in Fresno, my go-to place

Your prompt this week: What makes you smile? Is it the name of the beer? A memory from drinking the beer before? The little joy of finally being able to buy one you have been eyeing for a couple of weeks? Have fun.

Links To Beer: Too Many Handles

(Above is what I believe happens in the keg room at Yardhouse when one of the taps isn’t working)

• I can’t believe this but I might agree that 30 taps is too many. Beervana Blog: Nobody Needs 30 Taps. I still like having many tap handle choices though - in theory anyway.

It was great of you to open and read. I hope you have a nice beer budget to work with and the right number of taps to go with it. I’ll talk to you next week. Be safe.

Peace ✌️ Beer 🍻 & Metal 🤘

P.S. Speaking about beer budgets, I did something this week that makes me feel really weird: I became an Amazon Influencer [begins feeling queezy in stomach] and started a Storefront - please feel free to mock.

Basically, Amazon (thanks, Jeff B, you crazy guy) is allowing me a portal to send you through to buy things. I get a tiny cut if you do. A couple are beer-related:

• My favorite glassware.

• Drinking on the go.

• Beer gifts.

Thank you. I update them regularly. I am going to go throw up in the driveway now.
