Sometimes, Beerology has its benefits! Today was one of those days. Perfect for #beersaturday!
I had a service call where I was visiting a brewery client who had inadvertently melted their kitchen printer under the heat lamp. No this isn't covered under warranty. No I cannot fix it. Yes you have to buy a new one. A couple painful weekends for a kitchen who counts on 2 chits and a loud noise to alert them that an order is coming in later, the printer comes in and I am dispatched.
A little while in and my friend Shelley asks me if I would like lunch! I hadn't even thought of lunch and was half in my last appointment, half in this one and half in my next one. (yes I have a brain and a half) Here are some fantastic chipotle tacos so generously provided by the kitchen!
I replaced the hardware, got it configured to work with the system and insisted I waited around a bit to make sure everything was working for everyone before leaving. That is my business manager skills mixing with being a technician for the day. While waiting, I was presented with the taps menu as I AM a beerologist afterall.
I sampled an IPA with lactose sugar, lime and peach which was a nice sweet surprise. Passing on that and my standing favourite Buggywhip IPA https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/abe-erb-buggywhip/297830/ I opted for the Recoil Pale Ale. It is lighter on the ABV but still damn tasty. I am not sure I tasted lemon loaf but it was nice, considerably hoppy and citrussy tasting.
What a great way to spend time on the clock and making a client happy. Reciprocal efforts are much appreciated and make for the best business relationships.
Many thanks to my beer knowledgable guy behind the counter! Great conversation and fantastic beer.
