What Every Boy Wants: To Blow The Keg

The Onion is always good for a laugh

Hi, I hope you are well. Sorry I wasn’t here last week (you didn’t even notice, did you?). I am here now though to share a little story…

I almost walked away and went home with a free beer in my belly.

The keg blew on the first beer I ordered (a WCIPA that I can’t remember the name of now). But the tap produced enough to fill the pint glass almost full. So, as most places do, they gave it to me free.

I can’t remember the last time I got a free beer like that.

There was a girl there who witnessed this and was mad (in a playful way) because her and her friend ordered the same beer before me, and had to pay - womp womp.

After the free beer, I was tempted to leave. I hadn’t started a tab or anything, just sitting with my free beer.

I could have a nice little story of going down to the local watering hole, getting a free beer, and going home.

Dammit though, I couldn’t help myself, I went back to the “tables” and ordered more. But it was a nice thought.

It was also nice enjoying another beer.

Have You ‘Split The G’?

It seems this has been happening since early last year but it was new to me as of a couple of weeks ago; it’s called “splitting the G”. It’s when you have a properly poured Guinness in a Guinness glass and you try to time stopping your first drink in the middle of the G on the pint glass.

It’s a dumb little thing but I quite like seeing something mildly trending happening in beer and with such an icon in beer. Cheers to this.

And with that, I will leave you, for now. Thank you for opening this. Hope your week is good and you come across a nice beer or two.

Peace. Beer. Metal.
