Well, Jake has his 'hundred days' and as such he's going to be blogging a lot. So I says to myself, 'self'- 'you probably should blog more'. And so in a fit of very ill advised promising I'm going to commit myself to a new and exciting blog project that I'm calling "XtremeCivility" where I will be blogging 3 days in a row.
Perhaps you think me insane. The first and most difficult task when blogging is to figure out what the heck your topic is. In my case the topic is simple- Beer. And yet in simplicity lies complexity; and in complexity - simplicity. Or so would say the Sphinx. So there you have it. Beer is simple and complex. But these are mere abstractions for philosophers and meta-bloggers. What I'm all about is much more plaid than all that. And to that end I'd like to answer a question that has been put to me a lot over the last 5 weeks and that is "which beer (Civil Life's) is your favorite?" Surely a handsome blogger such as me can answer such fine a question. But you know what? I can never do it. Its a really hard question since I find beer so relevant to the moment and normally when asked I'm on the clock and counting those precious minutes before I can partake of the barley goodness. Usually what happens is this.... as we're winding down the shift and I've picked my trusty mug, I amble (I'm fantastic at ambling) over to the taps and a split second later I make my choice - and that choice is really automatic. I do the 'my mother told me to pick the very best one and you are it!' thing and poof! I'm drinking! And then I'm thinking - is this beer where it needs to be- flavor wise? So far we've been moving through beer so fast that the answer to that is a resounding 'yes' and I can rest easy. I try to have a sip of everything to ensure all is well and then I sometimes take a growler home. AHHHH HA! So Mr. Mosley! You take a Growler HOME DO YOU! That sounds like a FAVORITE to ME! Ok. You got me. I do actually think that things you take home must be favorites otherwise why would you take them? Well I have an easy out on that one too! Joline usually requests something and I take that home. Last time it was the Wheat and before that it was the Bitter. But as a final note, and promise you won't tell- its between you, me, and the internet, that Brown beer is pretty good.
