SHOW NOTES:

We are obviously making it our mission to drink every damn version of Great Divide Yeti (http://www.greatdivide.com/#/beer) on the planet, and prove it with their latest version - the Espresso. They claim it's a breakfast beer... we don't go quite that far.

Some beers just beg to be consumed with food and I believe that the Espresso Yeti is one of those beers. If you don't compliment and use the food to counteract the big-ness of a beer like this you're missing something.

Case in point, take any of the big hoppy Flying Dog brews. By themselves (no food that is) they can be an almost too intense hop experience, but bite down on some sharp cheese and oh mama! It simply makes the beer. I couldn't choke down a FD IPA without some cheese slices.

So I'm thinking that perhaps you need to actually try the Yeti again only this time eat it with a breakfast burrito. Add some salsa with it and wham bamm that Yeti no longer takes your face off.

Oh and if you want a job that you can drink Yeti in the morning and then report to work, do what I do (only on occasion) I work from home on a laptop on days when I don't have face to face meetings (which is never anymore since I work with people half way across the country and Costa Rica). On those days I could easily get away with having a Yeti in the morning (not that I do, but I certainly could get away with it). It's called being a teleworker or internet worker my friend. Look into it!

oh and the Examiner.com needs more writers. You can drink up in the morning and write articles for them to earn your beer money. Yahtzee!!!!

I've had too much Red Ale tonight - can ya tell?
