No beer review this week guys. Between fruitless job hunting, midterms, and half a dozen other personnel emergencies that seem to have appeared in the last two weeks I have not been able to post near as much content as I would have liked. But those are all just excuses. The truth is that life sometimes gets in the way of living. However there will be a new episode tomorrow morning bright and early. So cheer up. While I will not be writing a review this week I will be taking some quiet time and sitting down with Boston beer’s Noble Pilsner. I just started drinking this one recently and I have to say it’s pretty good. I not much of a hop head, but in the last six months I have been drifting more and more to the dark side. This one is like when you stick your foot in a bath tub that is to hot. At first you pull your toe back because it feels like a Vienna sausage that was left in the microwave. But then you ease your foot in and slowly the heat becomes soothing. It’s like this with the hop content of this beer. After the fourth or fifth sip your over looking the intense hope taste, and becoming at ease with the floral nature.

Look at that.

I guess I did have time for a beer review.

I was recently telling a guest that the reason I love beer so much is the fact that beer is an experience.  It’s not a thing, or an object. Beer is a representation of hundreds of years of blood sweat and tears. Every beer is a memory in a glass, and no matter how much life kicks you when your down, no matter how bad things get, no one can take away an experience. No one. I think I will pour myself a beer and go look into my sons room and watch him sleep. I think that will probably be a good way to remind myself what is important.

I love beer.
