The Circle is Complete

I think I do my best drinking thinking at night. Got home a couple of hours ago after another successful $2 pint night at Jack Ash's. God i love that place on Thursdays. We weren't there to just drink casually though. I had the Beer Journal with me. Logging new Guinness floats as we came up with them. (Check out the last post here and you'll be up to speed on the Beer Journal). On that note it was a productive night. Remember, I drink for science. Thanks to Hector and Pam I added another 10 or so to the list.

Best part of the night by far was at the very end once the lights came on. The manager comes over, young guy, Julian, and as we're telling him about how we love his $2 Thursdays and how we float Guinness, he says, "Oh, you guys float Guinness? You guys gotta try this one that a beer rep called me and told me about last week. It's Guinness floated over Fireman's 4. It's called a "Blackdraft". He said the guy who came up with it drinks here."
How awesome is that? I come up with a Guinness float and a week later a total stranger is making the circle complete and telling me about it. "You're looking at the guy who created it, bro," I told him. That's how you end a night. I can't wait to have this book in my hands, complete.
Tonight almost didn't happen thanks to me. I got off work this morning, had breakfast, got busy with errands, the day passed by and before I knew it I'm having a quick bite around 7, ready to meet up with Hector at 8 at Jack Ash's. That's when I laid down on my couch. Fast forward 3 1/2 hours later and I'm waking up. I look at my phone, see the time, 11:30, along with a missed call and 3 missed texts from Hector. Damnit. I texted him back, and right at the stroke of midnight I was at Jack Ash's like a champ. That nap is no doubt why I'm wide awake now jamming out to Pantera at 4:55am.
Oh well. It's good to be alive. Stay thirsty my friends ;)
