Regardless of where in the world you may be, or where you may be from, summer is hot. And what better on a hot day then a source of cold refreshment? For kids this means a swimming hole, river or pond, but for us adults, particularly we men, this means an ice cold beer.
Preferably a beach beer…
But craft beer tastings are also refreshing
Especially when tasted fresh at the brewery
Or when enjoyed instead of while working.
The more friends the better the beer gets.
The Beauty Of Beer
It varies greatly between regions and countries. Quickest way to make new friends. When paired with the right food it becomes priceless. The perfect reward. “Ahhh beer…the cause of — and solution to — all of life’s problems” ~Homer Simpson
Summer Beer
So the next time you think of summer, be sure to think of ice cold beer as well. You cannot have one without the other 😉
Where are you these days Derek?
I’m in Austin as I type this but trying to finish some work up and get south of the border fast, back to somewhere I can travel cheap and work from a hammock. How have you been?
They let you back is the USA?
Shiiiiiiiiiit Jesse they didn’t even notice my “deported” stamp hahaha….but they did take me aside for special screening because I have “been abroad visiting a Muslim country for over a year.” So many things wrong with that :/
Might have brought back MERS? What’s the social plans looking like while your in ATX?
Just sent you a msg Jesse…my phone won’t work here so email me back (or add me on WA) and we’ll find a time to get together soon
Love the article Derek, beer does make the day pass more enjoyably. I love the caption for the picture where one year on you can’t remember a single name of anyone else in the picture 🙂
I very much enjoy our British “bitter”, what you guys often refer to as a dark beer. I go for things such as Tetley’s, John Smiths, Worthingtons and so on. It tastes fantastic in the homeland but really does not travel well at all. It is difficult to find on my travels then when I do it is very expensive and doesn’t taste that great.
Good to see you are back home and settled for a while. Will it be long before your travels begin again?
Ahhh yes those look like my kind of beers, although I have yet to try any of those particular three. In Singapore there are several great places to get classy, hard-to-find, or just downright expensive beers. Other than that Asia is pretty much a bust beer-wise. Love the food, the cultures, but most of the beer there is like water.
As far as my travels, I’m just calling this a 2-wk vacation. A chance to indulge in some of the foods and friends I’ve missed. Plan on leaving after this and heading back to Central America, hanging around until TBEX, and then back to Asia or maybe over to India. Don’t really know. But I do know I officially f’d up my whole one-way land travel RTW adventure hahaha. Oops.
Ever been to any of the TBEX events? I have a feeling you would really enjoy them. Come join us in Cancun or Athens if you get the chance 🙂
I’ve not been to any blogging conferences yet. My travel is mostly work dictated so it would be hard to co-ordinate with business travel. When I’m not travelling I’m catching up with my wife so it is a mix of priorities really. Maybe one day?
