It would be a massive pay cut. However, the savings from not having to buy beer anymore might make it worthwhile. Let me think about it as I sip my Fremont IPA.

I have heard the Fremont IPA is a good one, but haven't tried it yet. I tend to enjoy stouts and porters more but IPAs make for a good warm weather beer. My current go-to IPA has been Fresh Squeezed by Deschutes from your region.

You did say that you once considered a going into a history field, if I recall correctly.

JJ is moving to VA. This would keep him off the streets and give him an excuse to hit the bars.:D

The Fremont Interurban IPA is very good. The Fremont area of Seattle is very weird. They have a large statue of Lenin (it's for sale), and troll under a bridge.
Maybe I need a "beer historian"
because soon after I get a hold of a beer,
it's history.
But then, it has truthfully been noted:
"You never really buy a beer, you just kind of "rent it"
for a while."

Don't collect "antique" beer. Very few keep well. You're already following the best COA: make it history.

Don't forget the Fremont Solstice parade and their assorted ... Ahem ... bicycle riders. :eek:

I find the same can be said about coffee. :(

Alright, stop hacking my Facebook feed. I already sent a drunk cover letter written on a bar napkin in crayon. So basically I have this job in the bag. I hope they cover the cost of greasy food to go with said beer.

You obviously have not met your competition, Thirsty Warrior.

Just got back from my interview. I threw up on the manager, twice, and shit my pants. He shook my hand and told me I start Tuesday because no decent alcoholic is worth a damn on Mondays.
