This thing called pizza, I dig it, it gets you through life, and if you live in the right places in New York, it's pretty much a crime if you don't eat it. I've had decent pizza in Virginia, and awful barf-tastic pizza in California. From what I recall, I ate some pretty mediocre pizza in Utah, which makes sense.
Utah is pretty mediocre.
Also, beer is good, and I feel compelled to talk about a certain beer I had recently. This beer gave me power and provided me with a sense of maritime justice.
Victory at Sea Coffee Vanilla Imperial Porter by Ballast Point Brewing Company
I have long been a proponent of Ballast Point, because their Sculpin IPA is probably my favorite beer, and because they're based in San Diego, and I want to retire in San Diego. This beer is the shit, and is a perfect winter beer. It clocks in at 10.00% ABV and it will smack you in the mouf if you are not prepared for a nautical flavor maelstrom such as this.
My father has managed marinas for as long as I've been alive, and so I grew up working (and practically living) at a marina. If my dad would've let me drink this whilst installing bubbler systems and repairing docks in freezing weather, I'd like to think that my performance would've been enhanced, but realistically, I'd have been real drunk and probably would've fallen into the frigid water and died. Good parenting, pops.
"a good place for innocent horseplay and underage drinking"
This is a sipping beer that benefits from being poured into a proper flavor-receptacle (or glass for the unenlightened) such as a snifter. It's a strong porter but not too heavy, and the flavor balance between the coffee and vanilla is really enjoyable. It's made with cold brewed coffee, so it excels as a dessert beer, or a morning beer if you're having a day that's heavy on existential disinterest. I wouldn't have more than 2, because this beer will rock you like a Scorpions reunion tour from 1996.
old Germans with loud amplifiers and crippling prescription medicine addictions will
ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE
Anywho, this beer is one of my all-time favorites, even if it's Slammability Score is low...... OH YEAH I'VE INSTITUTED A SLAMMABILITY SCORING SYSTEM
SLAMMABILITY SCORE: 2.5 out of 5.
I mean, you can slam this beer (I did the other night) but then you get drunk...which is fun. So, fuck it. Slam beer.
GO BEER
