Dylan's got his mind on beer (1 of 3 in a series of unrelated posts)

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.

  • Until then OUR PUB IS SADLY CLOSED FOR THE TIME BEING DUE TO COVID19.   WE WILL RETURN AND PROSPER.
