So the leaves are finally turning color in my little patch of the Old North State. And Fall means Beer and Football. Well lets face some facts, every Season means Beer and something that is an excuse for drinking beer. Sorta of like #beersaturday on HIVE.
I told Mrs. @handofzara I had to work this afternoon to earn a little crypto to pay for our extravagant lifestyle! ;)
As I ran down the stairs to the man cave, all I could hear were some words that would make a sailor blush punctuated with the phrase "that's just an excuse to drink beer!"
My life is great as everything is an excuse to drink beer.
Raking the leaves, sure and after I will drink a beer.
Watching football, sure and lets have a beer.
Brushing my teeth, sure after I finish my beer.
I bet you can play this game too. All it requires is a small shifting in your world view.
No problem Doc! When you are done I am going to drink an ice cold beer!
Alright, enough of the philosophy of life by @handofzara. Lets get on with the beer post.

So there you have it! Overall a nice beer. And I must say I have learned to appreciate an India Pale Ale. Still not my first choice but its growing on me.
TRIVIA TIME
Sidebar: Even thinking can be an excuse to drink beer.
My little tradition on #beersaturday is to have a trivia contest of sorts. Actually it is my way of saying sorry if you read this far. The first person to answer in the comments wins a BEER Token!
So before I get to today's question we have some unfinished business from last week as no one got the correct answer. The nickname for Connecticut is THE NUTMEG STATE. I have no idea why but it is what it is.
QUESTION: Name the deadly jellyfish that shares its name with a sailing ship?
GOOD LUCK!
I will see y'all next #beersaturday!
