I give to you my favorite beer in the world . I see it's been months since my last post . How does that happen when you're not working ? Weeeell , I'm not a very social person . And I plain haven't felt like sharing much . So , let's see .
There aren't many jobs out there in the field I've been working in the last 10 years or so , unless you have a degree . And I don't . And at 49 I don't see me getting one any time soon . And no one's really going to change my mind about that , so don't try to tell me I can still do it . Not going to happen so save your time .
Anyway , I'll just open up my search farther & take something else if I have to . Really don't want to go back to a " manufacturing " job , but that may have to happen for now .
One nice thing has been having time off to just goof around . When I'm working I never take real vacations . I just take a day here & there . I've had way too much in the way of great beers . We took a couple days & drove up to Selin's Grove PA . Visited the brewpub there twice & I can honestly say if you ever get a chance , please go . It's very small , and their kitchen is tiny . But the beers are all very tasty & the food was pretty damned impressive for what it was .
Also discovered a " new " place in Lancaster PA called The Fridge . It's basically a bottle shop , that also does pizzas & has about 6 taps . The bottle selection is pretty phenomenal , especially considering where it is . I'm talking Lagunitas , Ommegang , Clown Shoes , Founder's , Southern Tier ... just awesome . And , nothing mundane . No Bud , Miller , Coors . Hell , not even Yuengling . Just a great place . Also very small .
So yeah , I've been enjoying my time off , for the most part . And honestly I don't miss the job at all . I especially don't miss the over a hour drive each way through down town Philly . I miss being in Philly . I did like being there for food & beer related issues
But I really miss maybe 3 people from work , so it's not killing me not being there anymore .
That's probably enough for now . More soon , maybe .

Southern Tier! I've heard they have a vanilla stout that tastes like dessert in a glass. Creme Brulee? I'll have to check...

A good brew pub is a wonderful thing. We had a really good one about 20 minutes north of us but the quality of their home made beers has fallen off in the last couple years.
