Beer of the Blog #2: OK it's 5.30 now and I've only made it to beer #2. So while enjoying learning about the 8 fold path of Budhism where better to drink a beer from than from the centre of trend based spiritualism San Francisco. Yes whether it's creating counter culture musicians who later become the boring mainstream (yay flowerpower), or creating a foil for the right wing nut jobs like Mr Bill O'Reilly you can always rely on folk from San Francisco to show a detachment from reality, which is the ultimate point of spirtuality in the end so I gues that makes sense.
Anyway what does that have to do with beer, well I am currently drinking an Anchor Liberty Ale. This was at one stage one of the single most hoppy beers out there. As such it became a favorite of many drinkers. Then along came Alpha King and the rest is history. In some ways this beer is like the eightfold path, it is neither the indulgent path of too many hops, nor the self deprivation of too little hops. Maybe drinking beer can be a spiritual experience.
