I was inspired by something I read recently and I have decided to chronicle the top 50 moments (in no particular order) in my life that are tied to drinking good beer, with good friends.
1. Drinking every Trappist Beer in the Beer Bible at Monk's Cafe.
2. Proposing to the waitress at Monk's Cafe after she told me she was a home brewer.
3. Brewing in the Manayunk kitchen and the smell of malt and hops in the house the days following.
4. Touring the Yuengling Brewery during the last week of classes at Scranton.
5. The case of Franziskaner at New Years Eve.
6. The homebrew carboy explosion.
7. Drinking Snow Cap and other strong ass beer in Seattle, WA. Taking bottles home in my carry on luggage.
8. Teaching friends to brew.
9. Sticking my head above the kettle during a boil, smelling the hops in my hair when I woke up the next morning.
10. Stealing bottles from Monk's and getting caught by the waitress. "You know if you want them, just ask." I haven't stolen a bottle since.
