I set out to write the smartest, and the dumbest, Country song I could think of when I was in law school studying for the Bar exam. Because, procrastination.
The dumbest one was about falling in love with a series of waitresses at Waffle Houses, and included the line “scatter, cover, smother my heart.”
(the smartest one was about Einstein's Theory of Relativity, and how a guy tried to use it to explain to his wife why he came home drunk at 4 in the morning).
I’ve played in plenty of bars in my life, but the virtual pub’s gonna have to be extra-jumping for me to pull those old chestnuts out.

Not a lager but still a nice nightcap last PM...

I will kickoff the Virtual Pub in the morning on Saturday...get your lager/pilsners ready! The "bartender" will be unavailable for much of the day, but I trust you all to keep it civil while I'm busy cleaning out my basement.
Thanks, fuse for offering to set up a Zoom -- I'll leave it up to you to pick a time that works best for you.

Not making any assumptions about DBR and time zones, for those who have interest, please weigh in on these options:
Noon-1pm ET
2-3pm ET
5-6pm ET
Given I have sooooo much else to do around the house 🙄 any of them would work just fine for me. We’ll open it up and keep it going for as long as folks want to chat.
Double Death Spiral-Trophy Brewing Company
Real local
Credit-it was on the shelf, I thought I liked it several years ago and was 15% off
Format-pint fomite
Style-DIPA
Freshness-smudged stuff on bottom of can
Glassware-snifter
Appearance-hazy yellow with hints of gold; moderate foamy head
Nose-OJ, rind, pineapple, peach, mango
Mouthfeel-moderate bitterness
Tastes-pretty close to the aromas; some honey (added); a drop of resin
IBU-guessing 60s
ABV-8%
Overall impression-very good; might be even betterer if fresherer; restores some faith in this brewery as some recent IPAs/NEIPAs were boring
Ymm, Beer rating-mid/upper cat 2; the honey helps save this IIPA as the store owner said it was approaching "old"

Mrs. dd: "What's that tray of cans in the bottom of our fridge?"
dd: "I'm supporting local craft beer stores and NC breweries."
Mrs. dd: "What are those brown 32 ounce containers with swing tops doing upside down in our dish drying rack?"
dd: "Bottle Rev is having mini growler specials 4 days a week now."
Mrs. dd: "I hope fuse (or Tripping William) is coming over to help you finish one of those, especially if it's >10% ABV." (this she really didn't say )

I knew I'd heard that song before but didn't realize it was so old, as in 1924 old:

Yea, I'd go down *that* road.
