As I am certain many fellow beer drinkers, bloggers, and brewers can attest, life can be brutal sometimes. Sometimes it can be brutal in the sense of cruel, but I am speaking more along the lines of breakneck, no rest, drooping eyes type brutal. Perhaps busyness, clutter—whatever you choose to call it—most aptly describes how life can feel.
Can I get a witness?
Well, as the title indicates, there is no home remedy I know of that surpasses a good home brew. Sure, most “cold ones” are simply terrific after feeling dragged down. But something that has only come about by planning, care, and “I don’t give a shit about the pace you prefer, I’m going to do it in my own timing” of home brewing that makes it particularly satisfying after a long day, week, or start to the week that knocks the socks off my tired feet.
Please tell me you know this joy!
Fo Shizzle. Thanks for sharing your homebrews this week. They were great!

You are very welcome, doggie. I’m happy you liked it…my beer has really evolved in the past 2 or so years.

It was great. Now that Lent has started, this comfort is gone.

Yep. The first few days are the hardest. Can’t wait for Easter.

Know what you mean. Really wanted to have a brew last night.

Preach it! After a hard day, there is nothing like pooring a 7 percent Simcoe IPA, relaxing and thinking… “hell ya, I did this.”

Few pleasures exceed that feeling.
