Rant Time

Got some motivation for doing work for PBC, so blogging is sort of a distraction, but there are a few things I felt like writing. First off it has been a while since I have done any work while drinking a beer, mostly because I go get free Internet from the coffee shop. Which by the way scares me because the last three days I have felt like a prototypical Seattlite and I don't really like that. Not drinking has nothing to do with working in the morning, I have mentioned that it is society, not me, that has deemed drinking in the morning unacceptable.

Now that I am blogging with a New Belgian Mighty Arrow Pale Ale, I have a few more beefs. First, I really enjoy this beer normally, but for some reason the sixer that I got at 7-11 tastes like ass. In beer terms it is smells like old gym socks and tastes like cheese and I am very disappointed with 7-11 (I blame them not New Belgian because I have already ranted about N.B. and I want to give them a break)

Which brings me to my next beef, "pint glasses," what a crock. I don't know why I haven't noticed this before, but I poured my 12 oz beer into a "pint glass" and with the proper head came right to the top of the glass. The only way 16 oz would fit into that glass is all the way to the brim with no head. This is your standard issue bar pint glass, I know, I stole this one fair and square. The US needs a law, like they have in Europe, where all glasses are marked with their size. There is a little line on most import glasses showing where the beer should be to allow the proper head and tells you exactly how much beer that is. Most likely if you order a pint you are getting 12 oz and head (don't get me wrong, the head is a vital part of a beer).

Enough of that...I sort of lost my meaningful message for this post somewhere in the rant. Basically I am getting shit done. Some days I feel like nothing is happening, then bam, get some responses, get some motivation and everything is good. Some days I get hella frustrated like today and need a break. I am kind of over this post right now, making beer tomorrow so will post something about that and my efforts in upgrading my keggerator, which by the way is the best purchase ever.
