I’ll confess to all I’m a beer snob. There will be no Bud or Busch Lites in my house thank you, unless surreptitiously smuggled over the threshold by a well meaning guest . I’m an upscale India Pale Ale guy even though it costs twice as much. That extravagance has earned me a place on the email list of deals and coupons from the local ABC Liquor Store . We’ll get to those latest offers in a moment . But first …
Have you noticed how unhappy everyone seems to be ? I have. Seems the misery never ends no matter where you go. I’m thinking we wasted those past four years trying to “make America great again” and should have concentrated a little heavier on making ” America happy again ” . I know I’ve been doing my part with each and every bottle of Craft Beer .
Last nights email from the ABC Liquor Store had some interesting offers on Dalmore Single Malt Scotch .
A bottle of 35 yr. old has a price of a penny under $6000 while a nice 40 year old will run $8799.99 . A true Scotch snob would have to go for the 45 year old at $ 15,000 per 750 ml bottle . Now that may sound a wee dram flamboyant but still a more worthy purchase in my mind than Melania Trumps $70,000 dollar Birkin handbag.
That self professed snobbery of mine is all relative I suppose. It’s likely I’ll never experience sipping whiskey to the tune of $ 600 per 1 oz. shot while whining that America isn’t the place it used to be. Beer can make me happy …. but I’m betting sipping through two months worth of wages on a Saturday night and still being able to walk would make me pretty darn sad …..
