Sometime during the summer, I misplaced a half-case of beer. The wife assured me that it had been consumed during our Independence Day picnic and bocce ball tournament. That seemed like a reasonable explanation until I found the missing beer in the clutter of our basement pantry.
Now I have the most variety of beer in the house that I have ever had at one time, which is nice because I am almost guaranteed to find a match for any dish the wife cooks. (And, no, I am not being sexist in that statement—the wife expresses herself through the culinary arts, and spends a lot of time cooking.)
The current stock of beer includes:
- Pumpkin Ale by Buffalo Bill's Brewery, Hayward CA
- Red Menace Big Amber Ale by Hale's Ales, Seattle WA
- Twilight Seasonal Ale by Deschutes Brewery, Bend OR
- Buzzsaw Brown Ale by Deschutes Brewery, Bend OR
- Alaskan Winter Ale by Alaskan Brewing Company, Juneau AK
- Okto Festival Ale by Widmer Brothers Brewing Company, Portland OR
- Steam Pumper IPA by Fire Station 5 Brewing Company, Portland OR
- Fire Rock Pale Ale by Kona Brewing Company, Kona HI
- Guinness Draught by St. James's Gate Brewery, Dublin, Ireland
So, I guess the dream has somewhat come true. I just need to ensure that supply keeps up with demand!
