went to the lucky 13 alameda

i just poured a glass of russian river damnation batch 002.

the wife just got back from nyc and fell asleep at 7 or so. the boy at around 8. it is friday and i have been taking care of him since friday. i missed drake's, and i've been drinking homebrew almost exclusively this week, so i thought i'd walk down to the lucky 13 for something belgian.

the first FAUCET handle i noticed was from russian river. i got excited until i noticed it was the esb. i'll drink a beer from vinnie before most others, but it's not his esb that i was after. wow that sounds gay. there was stone's ipa and arrogant bastard. hoegaarden. i'll skip the pbr, fosters, pear cider, and what ever other swill they had that is beneath me..what? what i mean is i wanted something belgian. i was gonna order the hoegaarden(not ho garden) until i looked one more time and saw the chimay trippel. i ordered it sitting next to a guy drinking what must have been a newcastle brown. the barkeep placed my fancy trippel in a fancy de koninck glass in front of me. the guy next to me says he says that's a fancy beer glass, so i says to him i says:
"not a fan of belgians?"
"i just try not to pay five fifty for a beer"
"yeah but it's belgian" i says
"i've never been to belgium"
"i haven't been either"
well that's not really going anywhere. i'll just say that he paid 8 bucks for his two, that i saw, newcastles, and i only paid 5.50 for my one chimay served in a de koninck glass. i'll bet i'm drunkedr that him AND i had a better beer. newcastle has corn in it like my sheit. umm trippel. umm chimay. peppery and spicey err spicy. now i'm drinking damnation and listening to the strokes and typing. so take that.

i had something about leaving the boy with lee at rosamunde and going to toronado yesterday to try a monk's cafe flemish sour ale, but then i didn't write it. but i just did. that was good. but monk's didn't make it. but it is belgian.

i got my motogp tickets for laguna seca next year so who's gay now?
