Lately I started drinking more bottled beer primarily because I was too lazy to run out and buy a keg or two to replaced the ones I kicked. Last night I had a bottle of Railbender from Erie Brewing Company . That was the last straw. I have been to Erie Brewing Company and I have enjoyed many of their beers but this one left me wanting. I need a hoppy potent draught ale and I was determined to get one.
Tonight I took 2 of my daughters to Victory Brewing Company in Downingtown. On the way out I picked up a sixtel of Hop Wallop. Sounds great, right? Then I got home and spent about an hour cleaning my taps and preparing for my new arrival (Hop Wallop). During the process I started to wonder if it was worth the trouble. Of course, maybe I was just inefficient at cleaning the taps. Maybe I should be able to do it in 15 minutes, I don't know. Regardless, I started questioning the whole thing. The money spent on the sixtel, the travel to pick up the sixtel, the cleaning supplies, the electricity to run the kegerator, the investment I have in the kegerator etc. Then I poured a Hop Wallop and took a long cool sip. Yeah, it is worth it.
