beer
I'm embarking on a facet of the age of beer drinking i'm in
The last age of my experiences was beyond the grocery store beers. the qfc, safeway, albertsons, and to an extent, fred meyers. the baseline grocery stores out there. It was in that age that i discovered bigstar, bottolworks, brouwer's, growlers, and all the microbreweries of the area. I would bring growlers back from the North Fork brewery when snowboarding at baker. I would follow leads to pubs like the celtic bayou [dissapointment], cast new light on places i knew [Six Arms/McMenamins, the Pike], and realize that trips to far off places aren't worth it *just for* the microbreweries there, but to look into the local things as i travel around.
All this shall continue, but I'll allow a bit of research and recording. It will still continue to be one of my core points to become an adept of my own tastes, not a scholar of others, and I'll continue to disregard nearly everything I read in continuance of my persuit of that; however, I've a baseline of personal experience to work from to be able to take in struts from the current framework and shape my knowledge with given terminology. Some things will be taken as they are, some reflected through my eyes to mean similar things, and some stolen outright to mean completely different, while still, the main body of what's known is goaled to not influence the whole.
I've a new beer from big star. I've no idea what the hell it is, it's style I've never heard of. I'll start there.
