Year in Beer Recognizes Seattle
Apr. 19th, 2008 | 10:03 pm
I don't know where to start. I have so much to write about for both the Seattle Beer Examiner and the Beer Retard. All I want to do is watch the rest of the Gene Wilder interview I Tivo'd off TCM and go to bed but I've got to spew out a few sentences on what I've been up to this week.
Since Chris and Merideth of thebeergeek.com flew in on Wednesday, it's been a whirlwind of beer drinking, bus riding, walking and hanging out. I've loved every minute of it because I've gotten to take them to my favorite spots (Brouwer's, Big Time & Stumbling Monk) and also experience places I've been wanting to visit (Baron, Laughing Buddha, Georgetown Brewing & Georgetown Liquor Company). Even with the exhaustion that's starting to set in, it's been a great time and a big reason for that is how much we enjoy each other's company. All the things we've experienced over the last few days have been noteworthy in their own right, but sharing it with kindred spirits makes it all the more memorable.
While I take some time to relax and get my ass in gear with my writing before I leave for DC on Tuesday, please take a look at the blog Chris and Merideth are keeping on their site. They update it daily when they're on a trip and it's fucking admirable. Most mornings after a day of serious beer hunting, I'm in a mood to do anything but write. I need to take inspiration from them and get my shit together. If I hope to become something more than just an ordinary beer douchetard, I need to find discipline.
