    Crazy day at work.  Finish it with a couple of good IPAs.


    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    Got a sixer of this for Father's Day:


    Anderson Valley makes my all-time favorite beer, Poleeko pale ale. Sadly, that beer is no longer anywhere to be found around me.

    Oh well, I don't drink much anymore anyway. As it is, I need to dump out about 15-20 beers from a cookout I had last Labor Day to make room for this new six pack that will likely die a similar slow death in the back of my refrigerator.

    It would be nice if my wife and kids knew me well enough to notice that I haven't drank a beer in our home in nearly a year.

    I will forever cherish 2015.  At least I got to see them win a championship and it could be last!

    The '85 Series is the first World Series that I remember reeeeally paying attention to.  I watched 82-84 but I was too young then to really take it in and understand what I was actually watching.  I knew the Cardinals played the Cubs so I rooted for the Royals.  Cards had leads of 2-0 and 3-1 in the series, but the comeback Royals were 3-0 in elimination games (they also trailed the Blue Jays 2-0 & 3-1 in the ALCS and came back to win the last 3) and improved that to 6-0 after taking the last 3 again.
    A couple noteworthy things about that year. It was the last year that no DH was used in the AL stadium during the World Series (they used to alternate odd/even years; the DH would bat all 7 games in even years, pitchers batted all 7 games in odd years).  It was also the first year of the LCS being expanded to 7 games.  Had it been 5 games like the year before, It would have been Cardinals and Blue Jays in the World Series.

    I wish I would have been old enough to remember 1985.  I was pretty much convinced this franchise wouldn't win another World Series, let alone make the playoffs.  Both 2014 and 2015 were phenomenal rides that I'll continue to ride high for the rest of my days.

    Being a Cubs fan, I completely know that feeling!  After the Mets handed us our asses the 2015 NLCS (another reason I rooted for the Royals in the WS!) I wasn't sure it was ever going to happen.  Thankfully they improved and got the job done the next year.  I feel like our ride is coming to an end here soon, too.  But I'm just glad I got to see one in my lifetime!

    Heady Topper.  Good if you find it but don't kill yourself finding it.  Not worth the headache.
    You know what? I think you’re right. It’s not that I was disappointed but the hue is so big with this beer that it is real difficult to live up to. Very good beer. Not my favorite. I had this one from Tree House last night and it was fucking amazing

    Oops. I posted the wrong beer. Finally putting my Father’s Day beer in the refrigerator, and it’s actually this one. 



    And to make room for it, I dumped out a whole bagful of these, which were well past their “best by” dates.

    I struggle with throwing beers out. It's tough isn't it? Those are good ones too. I'd probably keep them.

    Whenever I have people over, even though I always have good beer in the fridge and more good beer on tap; people inevitably bring their own and there's always a lot left over that just sits in that garage fridge forever. It's mostly crap beer that I wouldn't buy myself and just would never choose to drink over the other stuff that I have. 

    But then when I'm draining and tossing them out, I think back to how 22 year old Juggler would never think of getting rid of beers by any means other than pounding them himself. Getting old has it's perks but it also blows!

    Think he'd get the hint if you only offered him the Alaskan - Freeride brew?
