Part time connoisseur

I don't go to pubs much anymore, maybe five times per year and I am quite happy with that. Family, work (love me new job (LINK) by the way), shed, sleep is where it's at for this man, in those respective orders of priority. Our new baby is due two weeks from today. I can't wait to hold her and see what she looks like. We think she'll have dark hair but we don't know why we think that.

I do enjoy a six pack every weekend though, or sextet of ale as Homer once said. For whatever reason, I rarely pick the same beer two or more weeks in a row. One week it'll be Becks and next week it'll be Heineken, then Pilsner Urquell, then Stella Artois, then Point Special, then Amstel Light, then Linenkugels Honeyweiss... Yes, all those beers fall into the same category of lager and are best served very cold but I think there is a connection between mood and choice of beer. I can't put my finger on it but there is a reason I choose one over the other even though the argument could be made that “they all taste the same.” Philistines.
