Today was difficult. Tomorrow, I'm going in to work on my day off. Which isn't a big deal, as I'll be at work again on Saturday. And the Saturday after that. Good times, good times.
I swear I'm not a whiner. Hard work is part of the deal, it's what you do to get ahead - and I do a lot of it. But there are days where the light at the end of the tunnel is very clearly just the train.
On to the beer, an unusual triple lager from Brouwerij Sint Christoffel. This beer pours a dark amber in the glass with very little head. You pick up aromas of sweet malt and fruit, maybe figs? The taste has notes of malt, light lemon, and molasses. I swear I picked up a tea flavor in one sip, but it disappeared and I couldn't quite find it again. It has a dry, clean finish with some mild bitterness. Interesting, and not what I'd usually drink on a given day, but certainly not a bad beer.
This brewery is a relative newcomer, opening their doors in 1986. They named themselves for the patron saint of their home city, who also happens to be the patron saint of travelers. Now you know.
Thing to Think About Today:
The completely awesome Allen Toussaint singing Working in the Coal Mine? Yeah, I'm just going to leave this here. It sums things up these days.
