Beer History: My Dad Turns 60
Posted by SmallTimeDrinker in Other Oddities on March 8, 2011 8:24 am / no comments
The last few weeks on this blog have been focused on Beer History. Continuing on that trend I would like to discuss my father’s old age, 60. He used to be a Busch guy and then he went onto Bud Light. From Bud Light he went to American Ale by AB and now loves Sierra Nevada’s Pale Ale. My brother and I have been working to change his taste his horizons are rapidly expanding .
I think Dad owes me $101.93 for this. |
What does an obnoxious son do for his father’s birthday? First, I had to drive to Wisconsin to get him a beer he asked for back in October. A six pack of Dale’s Pale Ale for his office fridge, delivered cold of course. Secondly, since I just drove about 7 hours to get there, we need food. I will take him out to lunch at the same bar he has been going to for the last 40 years. Finally, he gets one heck of a sampler pack including beer from Oskar Blues, Goose Island, New Glarus, Bell’s and others. To pull this off I have travelled through four states, flattened a tire, and lied to my family all in the name of surprise. Happy Birthday Old Man.
