Text of the page (random words):
than the last well as you probably noticed that turned out not to be the case i feel like this thing has had its moments to the day i die i ll still believe that the moral compass line in the brewdog post was the best thing single sentence i ll have ever written in my life the sentence i just wrote might stand amongst the worst so what s so hard about writing amusing musings every night well at least 65 of my beer drinking took place while hanging out at night on the couch with my wife you know what i like to do while drinking beer and hanging out on the couch with my wife nothing here s a real life conversation i had with someone in the past year this is exactly how the conversation went down and i know you might not believe that based on how absolute douche tastic this is going to sound but seriously this happened setting a party at a family friend s place a handful of us are about to play scene it seinfeld person i ve never seen seinfeld me you ve ever seen seinfeld person ummmmm i m too busy living my life in new york city to watch a show about people living in new york city and scene i hate to invoke that type of sentiment but often i found i was too busy drinking beers on the couch with my wife to write about drinking beers on the couch with my wife add to that the fact that i never got any better at actually describing beers and sometimes writing would be a bit of a chore but on i wrote back to being conscious of every beer i went out to lunch with some friends after my last final yesterday we went to the heartland brewery in union square i had myself a smiling pumpkin ale it was pretty good but then i thought do i really want this to stand as one of my last 10 beers this is rarified air for a beer to be in in which to be that still doesn t seem correct and normally i would get a second beer because you know why not but i couldn t i had to think i have three days left of beer drinking and only 8 now 7 beers i can drink ration man ration and then i realized that every subsequent beer i would drink between then and the 1000th would likely take place on my couch well not wanting to spoil my last 6 or so beers on the dregs of a park slope coop mix pack i hit the whole foods beer store and got some supplies i picked up a lagunitas little sumpin wild and an avery the reverend belgian quad both of which i drank last night i also picked up a long trail imperial porter which i ll probably drink today while cleaning my apartment and a dogfish head bitches brew which i ll split with my dad when he gets in on saturday night for the ol 999th beer i m pretty excited about the 1000th beer not to get into it too much here as my 1000th beer post is going to be the one that i finally talk about why i did this whole thing but that ll be the 1000th time this year that i did something that i really like to do can you think of 1000th things you did this year that you really enjoyed i can and with friends and family coming out well that ll just be the icing on the cake i did the index for the book beer and philosophy in there is an article that i thought was pretty stupid at the time about beer and friendship which talks about the special bond you have with a person while going out for a beer together in my headier analytic days i thought the whole article was filled with too much continentally i can t describe it but i know it when i see it or feel it type of gobbledegook but now now i sort of get it it forces you to communicate in an immediate and intimate way that other activities just can t even going out for a meal with friends you still have the breaks while you re actually eating when you get a beer with someone it seems like you have to mean it and i ve been extremely privileged to share a lot of beers with a lot of people this year sunday you should all come down to the gate at 5 o clock because i sure would like to have one more beer with all of you before this year is through total beers 994 countdown 6 if i ever get a color column in a local small town newspaper i m going to name it that and write under the name hank higglesworth here s a question what s less interesting than writers writing about writing if you answered nothing literally nothing is less interesting than writers writing about writing and aren t you being a pretentious ass calling yourself a writer and isn t this blog supposed to be about beer drinking why aren t you writing about beer drinking well you re probably correct and you thought i would go the whole year without using that word you owe me ten bucks mr higglesworth posted by ryan at 11 48 am no comments wednesday december 15 2010 motorcycle made of fire named the flamemobile no time last night i had a trader joe s 2010 vintage ale it s ok it tasted new as it

i m a neurotic studier way i say that in a i have a final thursday i haven t started studying for yet way none of that had anything to do with beer let s talk about beer shall we now that i m in the final stretch i m trying to make every beer count uhhhhhhh pun gone are the simpler times although tonight i think i m going to drink tj s bottle conditioned holiday ale on sunday i limited myself to one beer on account of having an 8 am final that beer probably my favorite of all time at least top 3 that s for sure ommegang s three philosophers when two of those showed up in the park slope coop mix pack well i was just about as happy as a clam monday i had two goose island ipas at reservoir following a final later that night i had a duchesse de bourgognes well that s enough beer talk i ll remind you all about the 1000th beer still happening this sunday at 5 at the gate in park slope on 5th ave at 3rd street tomorrow you ll get a pretty lame o update about tonight but thursday friday will be epic epic i tells you total beers 988 countdown 12 ok the video at the beginning is a bit premature but the whole point is this is countdown time also that song isn t racist in the context of the musical soooooo editors update my dad may be coming to the 1000th beer brace yourselves posted by ryan at 7 54 pm 1 comment sunday december 12 2010 beer regrets much like john adams on his death bed as i approach the end of this year i find myself looking back at what i ve accomplished and what i wish i would have done not that i m filled with remorse or anything but i do have a few beer regrets to be clear these aren t regrets for things i ve done after drinking these are regrets over what i should have drank where i should have drank etc for example i regret not compiling a spreadsheet from day one of every beer i drank and where i drank it d be nice for analysis purposes now like a spreadsheet could tell me what percentage of the beers i drank were say brooklyn lagers i tried to put together a comprehensive list a few weeks ago but it was taking forever so i quit after logging like 50 beers that will be a task for an intern at the publishing company that inevitably releases my best selling book i suppose what got me thinking about my beer regrets is that draft magazine just arrived and it has their list of the 25 best beers of 2010 i was glad to see beers like 21st amendment s monks blood and brooklyn s sarachi ace on their but what stood out for me was the inclusion of short s brewing key lime pie let me take you back to michigan for a second while in alpena liz and i went on a beer run with my dad we found a beer store with a ton of michigan microbrews the stipulation was that we could only get one six pack lest my grandparents think we were total drunks a weird stipulation but it was what it was after narrowing down the beers to michigan microbreweries that i couldn t get in new york i decided to get a short s brewing beer they had a ton of different things from weird fruit beers to classic pale ales seeing as how my family would be drinking this beer i decided to go for a standard i grabbed the pandemonium pale ale if you recall this was the beer that was perpetually foamy and just not all that good you know what was sitting next to the pandemonium pale ale the key lime pie one of draft magazine s best beers of 2010 i had to make a choice and i chose incorrectly beer regrets this is sort of like when i go to a beer bar with a ton of different things on tap do i get something i ve already had that i know i like do i try something new what if i get something new that s not that great when there are other beers that i haven t had that would be better it can get paralyzing at times well there s my daily dose of producticrastinating as to the beers for the past two days friday i drank a redbridge gluten free beer still gross and an avery brown ale still good saturday was an excellent beer day in terms of both quality of beers and also quantity i had a sam smith taddy porter 2 duchesse de bourgognes a two brothers ipa and a golden pheasant pilsner okay that last beer wasn t so great total beers 984 countdown 16 all right here we go posted by ryan at 11 40 am no comments friday december 10 2010 blinding you with science it s finals time which means i m doing just about everything but study i get pretty good at doing productive ish things that aren t exactly what i need to be doing for instance i ve got to eat dinner right so why wouldn t i make an elaborate meal that takes two hours of prep time i m not procrastinating i m making dinner i ve got to work out right so why not spend an extra hour doing the most non intensive yoga possible i can t neglect my health just because it s finals time and in this vein of doing things i need to be doing you re getting two posts two days in a row something last seen i think in 2007 in the past say two years or so i ve been growing increasingly angry at myself for not getting an undergrad degree in science nevermind that i m terrible at science that i withdrew from three separate intro to different sciences courses in college and that i m 80 sure that i have the fine motor skills of a toddler making lab work pretty impossible for me if i had a science degree the world would be my oyster it s literally the best thing you can have in the legal world you can do all the law nonsense that us liberal arts majors can do plus everything else oh yeah you know who s still hiring in these dire times patent bio law firms because like three people on earth can do that stuff the three people who had the foresight to major in some science before going to law school you know what else you can do with a science degree everything else on earth why this rant right now and what does it have to do with beer well i was watching the excellent show brew masters last night which chronicles the comings and goings of the dogfish head brewery and i noticed that everything everyone was doing on that show was science related their yeast expert i looked her up she s younger than me and she has one of the dopest jobs on earth how d she get it well she majored in a science in undergrad applied for the job and got it all of dogfish head s brewers science majors so my ultimate plan in life is to work a crappy legal job that pays the bills and then quit to do something awesome like start a brewery you know what would make both the getting a job and starting a brewery parts infinitely easier a science degree both of my parents are engineers which is another major that is science y and super practical like all good modern parents they instilled in me a belief that i could be anything i want to be do anything i set my mind to i didn t have to be an engineer i want to go into liberal arts go for it there are plenty of useful things i can do with a poly sci philosophy degree well hopefully when i have kids i can instill in them the same attitude you don t have to be a student till you re 27 you don t have to get two worthless undergrad degrees and a somehow more worthless grad degree you can study things that will make you a contributing member of society but of course macrobrew will still be strictly verboten another thing i wonder about in brew masters is this sam calagione s kids have to be trying some of that beer right unfortunately the discovery channel can t show broach one of the more interesting subjects about the life of a brewer the brewer s attitude regarding his product and his kids i m sure he s not getting his kids wasted but there s got to be some kind of healthy balance between don t touch this stuff till you turn 21 and go nuts kids i d imagine an artisan cheese maker s kids would know a whole ton about cheese why wouldn t a brewer s kids know a ton about beer i don t care about erecting a retired burning man fort on your brewery s grounds answer these questions brew masters and so we get to the beers i drank last night it actually was a fair amount because 1 the studying during the day went well 2 sunday is a one or none beer evening and 3 i could i had an erdinger weizen whose bottle notes that it is crystal clear i was hoping it would be like crystal pepsi and actually be clear but unfortunately it was just a piss yellow beer flavored beer followed that up with a stone pale ale an otter creek stovepipe porter and 2 fuller s extra special esbs so there s that in the grand scheme of producticrastinating which is my new term for doing things like this i m sure you ll be hearing from me tomorrow total beers 977 count down 23 i realize putting this number here is pretty stupid but being but a liberal arts major i don t have any real conception of what does and doesn t constitute a good idea note to potential employers i m not talking about quitting your job which is surely great i m talking about quitting that other one you know the one that sucks which again is not your job which i m super jazzed about like drink 1000 beers in a year and end a sentence with a preposition thanks folk...
