Hops


"May your glass be ever full. May the roof over your head be always strong. And may you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead."
-Old Irish Toast

There's nothing like a pint with a friend. Every once in a while an IPA can save your life. I believe there's a secret in every hop, a story waiting to be told. There's time invested in every green glass bottle, there's ice to be broken over hefeweizen, there's laughter in every pecan porter, and a lesson to learn at the end of each glass. Life is about the toasts we make, the conversation over dinner, sips we take around the fire, yelling at the TV, shouting at the game. Somewhere deep inside we're all a little bit Irish. Sometimes it's as simple as a cold beer, a holiday lager, the hair of the dog.
