oh happy sunny day in vancouver!
spring is in the air!
and that makes me think of beer
okay, everything makes me think of beer
new seasonals coming out
wearing beer tshirts without a hoodie over them
trying to lose those 10 lbs of winter beer weight so i can fit back into those beer tshirts
drinking on patios
east side beer fest
washington cask beer festival
vegas craft beer fest
cider riot party in portland
bring it on!
i need to own one of these beer buckles
(and the plaid shirt is really swell too!)
i am totally a paragon of virtue
i am still on the wagon, but attending beer events as if i was drinking!
2 cask nights, a beernesday and the r&b ‘2013 is gonna be great’ brewery party – all in one week
so i thought perhaps i’d take a moment to pat myself on the back
and list the pros of being dry from time to time
1. the obvious – no hangovers
2. leading from #1, more hours in the day to get stuff done and have fun
3. my rings are never tight on my fingers – no retaining water!
4. my liver gets a well-deserved little break
5. my taste buds get a chance to recalibrate
6. people are impressed by my will-power
7. hopefully those same people will buy me a drink in february
8. i’ll lose a couple of pounds and fit back into my beer t-shirts
9. if i had a car, i’d be able to drive it home every night!
and 10. that first beer on february 1st is going to taste sooooooo good!
i think i need to add a beverage pouch to my camping hoody
because i’m cheap, and handy
but you can just buy yourself a hoody with a beverage pouch
and my latest covetous desire:
hops tshirt
vcbw, quickly in a few facebook photos:

i do love me a beergarita on a hot day
but this is not one that i will be trying on for size!
i NEED this tshirt
not because i properly judge beer (that just sounds like too much work)
but because who doesn’t need another beer tshirt?
and it would go with everything!
this just smacks of brilliance!
found it via steamwhistle, who asked when you would use it
camping for sure for me!
(i would like a different colour though please)
oooh, me likey!
the gift-giving holidays approacheth… anyone?
beware of the beer – most often sighted in the canadian north:
