On this rock I build my city

Iron City beer causes me to re-evaluate what I think of the beverage- beer. With its bitter undertones, I am forced to imagine one of my favorite passages from Oliver Twist:

“Oliver Twist has asked for more!”

Oh Charles Dickens, did they have Iron City in your time? If not, I should not want to to be there, no matter how pretty the narrations.

“But, tears were not the things to find their way to Mr. Bumble’s soul; his heart was waterproof.”

I should have wanted to be waterproof if there was no Iron City to quench my longing thirst. Did Oliver ask for more? I would like to ask for more Iron City, and may it never hasten its trip to my mouth.

One for the ages…

My favorite beer is Milwaukee’s Best. The smooth taste and bold character gets me every time. My favorite way to enjoy this fine lager is through a funnel tube. Called a bong by some, I like to think of it as my IV to heaven.

If you have the chance (and you can find it) Milwaukee’s Best Ice is so good, it deserves it’s own word……scrumtrulescent.

Now, what I can’t believe is this.
