With the one year anniversary of Growler Fills arriving last Thursday, I’ve had a number of people ask me what beer I pulled out of the fridge for the celebration. The answer, ironically, is none.

Oh, I had grand plans. The weather was great and I pictured myself coming home after work, throwing on the jeans and heading for the fridge.  Thanks to my recent trip over to WA, the beer fridge is nicely stocked with a variety of new things to try.  Plus, there’s still quite a few bottles of Abyss, Jubel 2010, Ivan the Terrible Imperial Stout, Black Butte XXI and others I’ve picked up over the past year for that “special occasion.”

Hitting one year of blog life and 140 plus posts definitely counts as a special occasion. But life sometimes gets in the way.  Work started at 7 a.m. and unexpectedly didn’t stop until 10 p.m. By then, the celebration needed to wait.  I’m sure I’ll have no trouble finding a substitute time. On the plus side, the fridge remains well stocked.  Almost too well stocked.  Let me know if you’d like to help make some room.
