Some things just go together.  Sometimes I sit wondering why two seemingly unrelated fields become linked so closely. For me, blues and beer just go together.  I used to go with a good friend of mine to The Slippery Noodle in Indianapolis.  We’d drink a few beers and enjoy the music.  Blues just gives me a certain energy and emotional connection that I don’t always have with other types of music.  It’s almost odd not to have a brew in hand.  Blues is so emotionally driven and free in its movements that I wonder whether the same free spirit in the beer world is the real appeal.

Similar to the blues, I feel a special connection with beer.  It has been a major part of many important events in my life, which means I also have an emotional connection with beer, more so than any other drink.  My mind and heart seem to strangely palpitate at the thought of sipping a good beer.  In the same way, the rhythms of the music sound like the beating of a pained, fun-loving, or good-feeling heart.  I especially love a free spirited rhythms when it comes to beer.

I know this is a short little blurb about beer and blues, but I’m wondering if a certain type of music forms a special connection to beer for you.  Don’t be ashamed if Moonlight Sonata is your choice…I love that, too.
