Kids say the darndest things!

I arrived home the other day to find my daughters playing outside with my neighbor's son.  They immediately ran up to the car as I opened my door to get out.  I was holding a Rockstar Energy Drink as I exited the car and the little boy asked me why I was drinking it.  My 6-year-old daughter spoke right up.  "That's a beer!", she exclaimed, "My dad LOVES beer!"  I quickly corrected her as to what I was drinking but could only imagine how many people heard the loud proclamation.  I wonder how many neighbors I've offended this time?

Magnetic Brewing

I saw someone in a Magnetic Brewing sweatshirt at SeaWorld the other day.  I don't know when the new brewery will be opening, but it appears from posts and photos on their Facebook page that it should be fairly soon.  I'm always excited to visit a new brewery, and this one will be no exception.  I wish them well and am looking forward to sampling their brews.

The F Word

Here is another example of "the big guy" bullying "the little guy".  In this case, they are completely different industries.  How in the world can Starbucks feel threatened by a small craft brewery in Missouri?  This is just more fuel to fire my ongoing distaste for the coffee behemoth.  Brew on, Exit 6 Brewery, brew on!

365

365 days.  365 blog posts.  As we reach the end of yet another year, I manage to accomplish yet another goal.  I enjoyed sharing something new each and every day of 2013, but I won’t be quite as prolific in 2014.  Although I will still post, the frequency of the posts will be less so that I can focus on other beer related projects.  I can’t give any specifics at this point, but I can say that education will play a key role in the accomplishment of my goals for the coming year.  I’ll keep you posted, and I’ll see you next year!

Assault with a deadly squirrel?

This assault with a tap handle was strange enough, but may be trumped by this assault with a ceramic squirrel!  Apparently, a man returned home without any beer on Christmas, as stores were already closed for the holiday.  His wife was so outraged by this that she beat and stabbed him with the aforementioned squirrel.  Although his manhood may be gone forever, I'll bet he never forgets to bring home beer again!  He has hopefully rid the house of any other ceramic woodland creatures as well.
