And I'm back

Welcome Bremigos and Brewmigettes, it has been quite some time.

I have been slaving away at work, and unfortunately did not have time to fill you guys in on my home brew and beard talk.

Well, yesterday I brewed my Guinness clone, a little late for St. Patty's day, but still, it will be damn good. So the day started off with a nice little hike, and when I got home, the Guinness gods were calling my name! Never one to put a god on hold, I answered the call, and the result is a delicious beer that will be drunk like the sweet nectar of life! Alas, though the beer will be glorious, I feel this blog may be more appropriately designated to one of my beard heroes, Grizzly Adams.

Grizzly Adams not only goes down in history as owning one of the coolest names known to man, but he had a beard like a bear... Grizzly's beard was so ferocious that the good people at NBC ordered him to shave it. Now, Grizzly was a man of principles, but he was also a smart business man. When faced with loosing his show, he did what any sensible man would have done, he went to the barbers to get his glorious beard removed. When he arrived the barber refused to remove the master piece sitting on Grizzly's face. Three tries at three different barbers later, he finally decided to do the job himself. He went to the store and bought four cans of shaving cream, six razors, and three bottles of after shave. In his attempt to shave, used all of the supplies at his disposal to end up with a beard like this.

Though he lost 1/2 of his beard in the attempt, he emerged a renewed man and vowed never to let the NBC executives walk over him again. He went back to NBC and told them that he would not shave his beard entirely off. When they threatened to cancel his show, he ripped off his shirt exposing the wild mane of chest hear beneath, and their hearts were melted. Because of his natural gift to grow hair like a grizzly, Mr. Adams prevailed.

Moral of the story, use you natural gifts to your advantage.

Until next time!
