The purpose of drinking different kinds of beer, from many different breweries, is to find unexpected gems. There are many who may disagree with this statement, but I stand by it, at least as it pertains to my beer interests. If variety and creativity were not relevant, I believe that I would be drinking from […]
Paint
When you look at your house, or apartment, or other form of dwelling, a yurt maybe, what do you see? We adorn our beams and eaves with skins of chemical and design, to mask the naked support that our augmented forest provide. And with these supplements we create uniqueness, character, and differentiation. Casually we accent our […]

Sometimes, between the haze of sleeplessness, and the release of drunkenness, one may find a halcyon sensation that is brought about by an immaculately constructed song. In a pre-dawn reverie, I stroke my thumb as I finger the keys. I don’t recall the emergence of the lines of wisdom that have creased the epidermis. Yet […]
Trinity
I am fond of origin and meaning behind people, places, and words that I encounter. Until very recently my understanding of this word, trinity, pertained exclusively to the dictionary definitions. Trinity is defined as a spiritual union, biblically, including Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Trinity also means a group of three or a state of […]
Free? Will?
It had been my intention upon my return from Colorado and Great American Beer Fest to highlight the experiences there. Yet for some inexplicable reason I find that I am compelled to write about a local beer. Certainly, there will be plenty of sharing from a craft beer week of epic proportions. But for this discussion, […]
Transitions
My apologies if a few of my posts are repeated. In making the decision to continue this site I found that I needed to find new hosting for brewsing. In the process, several of my posts have been lost, ergo, I needed to repost them. I look forward to continuing this journey with fresh new […]
Well…..
Is a hole in ground, yeah I know, but I couldn’t resist. It turns out that upon this journey I’ve discovered a thus far buried penchant for the sea. In the process of penning the brewsing eulogy I discovered that one the tangy pixellated sea air sampled by my fingertips, the sterile atmosphere of that desolate island more left […]
Scratch N’ Test
Many years ago the scratch series had its genesis at Troegs brewing company. The series, by disclaimer, is purportedly a way to test out new and experimental hops and brewing techniques. I have noticed, however, a fairly obvious trend with this series. Before the regular offering Perpetual IPA launched, a large number of ipa styles […]
The Coward
The coward runs, and flees, in the face of danger. The coward cowers, and flails, in view of defeat. The coward shrouds, and veils, facing opposition. The coward shirks, and points, instead of admission. He is spineless. She is weak. He lies prone, in abject defeat. He is callow. She is meek. All are helpless, in […]
The absence of stimuli
Everywhere we turn, an assault awaits. Anywhere we glance a solicitation beckons. Our senses are the target, and an innumerable, variable, selection of ordinance is stationed at key points to intercept us. The trap is set, and the snare plays the security blanket. The social quicksand marks our perceptible forward progress. Take that step, provide yourself an […]
