Maybe I should just quit clicking on beer related goodies from blogs and other beer related ads and email subscriptions sending me hoppy stuff! This morning in my mai was an email from CraftBeer.com sent by jay@brewersassociation.com. Thanks Jay, you highjacked my morning reading. The lead in was “Announcing 2018’s Great American Beer Bars”. How could I resist? 51 offerings, 50 states and the den of liars of Washington DC. I got carried away, there is a tab in the menu for “Travel”….. more for my bucket List! Damn!

This website is just overloaded with food, beer, travel, beer, brewery info, beer, FESTIVAL info(now my head is spinning and not from the Bells Hopslam!) and more beer stuff! Let’s do the math, 51 Great American Beer Bars, I am weeks away from 67 – If I knock off 10 per year that puts me at age 72, BUT – something tells me the list will be updated every year! Hmmmmm, throw in a few beer festivals, local breweries and damn, I do love to eat…..I think I am short on the requisite years required! So, what should an old, no – let’s say a mature, beer drinker do?

My wife actually makes lists and scratches off the completed item. I have resisted the activity, yes, when I do I am more productive and accomplish more……well, not really more! I kind of like the spontaneous way I roll……..it does create a need for me to stock up on “round-to-its” – they are in short supply according to my wife…..LOL! OK, I’ll make a list.

Or……..

Maybe I can visit vicariously……if you are reading this blog and have hit one of the “Great American Beer Bars” on the list….Please send me the juicy details in the comments section…..it may help! I will accept your nominations too……
