Nate's Beers #77-80

Beer #77 (Thursday)- I got home from work and cracked up a Firehouse 5 Steam Pumper IPA. I don't know what the deal is but I've been on one helluva IPA kick lately. And I've come to the realization that Steam Pumper IPA just may be the same stuff as Pizza Schmizza's IPA and Harvey Comedy Club's IPA. Since it's brewed by Portland Brewing I think I may be on to something here. More. Research. Needed.

Beer #78 (Friday)- As I was heading home to Portland my buddy Jack called and asked me if I'd like to join him for some disc golf and Pier Park. I said "fuck yeah" and made my way home, changed, grabbed my discs and some brews and made my way out to the park. I enjoyed a Fiddler's Green IPA (another one!) and followed that up with a couple of Broken Halos. Afterwards we headed back to Jack's were we enjoyed some Heines and a little chat with the coach.

Beer #79 (Saturday)- After Gus and I dominated at wiffleball (we're now 10-0) I made my way back up to Longview for a little Cinco de Drinko action. I stopped by the Guttormsen resident and had a Corona with Erik. After that we started in on my fifth of Milagro tequila. Over the course of the evening I would go on to finish said fifth. Good times (from what I remember)!

Beer #80 (Sunday)- Last night while sitting around watching TV I cracked open a brewski I had been saving for a while. It was a wonderful New Belgium 2 Below. Just like the other New Belgium brew's, it was delicious. I can't wait for Summer to get here and bring the lovely Skinny Dip seasonal with it....

bowling baby

Not only did I start off all three games last night with a strike, and bowl over my average all 3 games, but I had a 32 oz Miller Lite that went down oh so smooth. That was followed later by a New Belgium 2-Below, which I thought was dark beer and is very amber-ish and not so dark at all. I think I will make up for that with a Widmer 07 Pale, a Widmer Snow Plow, and a Deschutes Obsidian Stout. I would have three dark's, but just found that most of my fridge is not dark beer. For shame. I might have to hit up the store tomorrow...

Also, I just lost So. Ill. and am now down to Florida. Nate still has UCLA as long as they hold onto their lead. Alex may lose Ohio St. if Emily's great orange hope can hold onto the big lead they have opened up. Glam is alive til at least the weekend with Kansas barely beating my boys at So. Ill., and still with hopes of USC tomorrow, although that would eliminate Trout. Dicko is still alive with Memphis, but has Pitt currently losing to Nates UCLA. Ed is destined to lose at least one team as Oregon plays UNLV tomorrow. And his Butler better lose to my last hope Florida and Nate probably hopes G.town will beat Ed's Vanderbilt, which could cut Ed's hopes down to one...

Lastly, when's the last time you just grabbed a can of whipped cream and (...shit no matter how I type this it sounds dirty, squirt some in your mouth, fill your mouth up, have a mouth full, spray some into your mouth, anyways,) I can't remember the last time for me, until just a minute ago. And as we have two kinds left over from some party awhile ago, I did a taste test. And the good stuff is WAY better than the cheap stuff. Just FYI in case you are shopping and wondering if the extra 0.50 is worth it.
