Madhouse Pastime

I like the name of this beer--nice play on words. We all know that a good beer helps make a good time even better. But my question tonight was this:  “Can a good beer make a horrible time, somewhat more bearable?”

Tonight was the night when I must plow through the fruit box of my receipts and financial documents from 2011.  I need to get them in order so I can report to my government all my personal, intimate details--even things I wouldn’t ever tell my best friend. The government will, in reply, tell me how much of my stuff I must now give to them.

I have to admit, I’d rather do this task with a beer than without.  Now if I can just figure out how to get a beer at the dentist office next time I have a cavity filled.

Pastime has a fruity start and then, with a jolt to the senses, shifts to a hoppy finish.
