North of 41, ha! The cranky old men drinking beer are all North of 61 let alone 41. That explains the old. And here I am at the end of my bag of chips, trying to dip those little pieces, getting dip on my fingers, trying not to get it on the channel changer. That explains the cranky.
It was damn hot yesterday, it felt like North of 41 ⁰, walk on the sun hot and hockey playoffs still going on in June! What’s wrong with this picture? I’ll tell you what’s wrong with this picture. Hockey in June for the Maple Leafs is called golf. That’s what’s wrong with this picture. That explains my heightened level of crankiness.
But once I started drinking this blonde ale from the Barking Squirrel brewers at Hop City, my crankiness melted away. What a great beer! Smooth and easy drinking, with a nice flavour to it. Exactly what you would hope and expect from a blonde ale. Great summer suds. Of course it was only a short term cure for my chronic crankiness. When I finished the beer and started thinking about hockey and chips my crankiness returned, but the North of 41⁰ blonde ale was a welcome temporary respite*.
