Guy at the beer store sold me one of their "Accident in Hubbard's Cave" and gushed about how great it was... it was not. But I did have their Mocha Pot De Creme and thought it was good.
I’m so stressed cause I’m moving an hour South of where I live in like two weeks and keeping my job currently until I find something in my new city but the industry is so in flux that I cannot get an answer because no one knows what is going to happen in a month and no brewery really has the funds or demand to hire more people. I can commute an hour one way but at least like 1-3 times a month I’m going to be on the east side of Michigan and that’s like a 3 hour drive one way and not feasible. I just want to brew some fucking beer and get out of sales.
Back to Kalamazoo. My girlfriend got a promotion to a new store there so I’m trying to leave my current job but can’t do so until I have something lined up. Presidential brewing in portage just lost someone and during covid they had never been busier in their 15 months being open but I also haven’t brewed in five years. But I’d like to get out of sales for a bit and I’m waiting for the owner there to respond. Have a couple of people who know him so I’ve been getting help from them but he’s been busy so far.
Despite “trying” for a few years, beer never really clicked with me. I had some I drank and enjoyed to some extent, but I gravitated more towards bourbon and kinda camped out there for a while. That said, the last six months or so I’ve found myself going down the beer rabbit hole more and more. Here’s a new favorite of mine from Veil, NeverMore3.
It may just be a Sam Adams summer brew, but it’s still my first draft beer in months and damn is it good.
