Lost in Conversation

I have found myself of late thinking about how many times I may have taken friendships for granted.  How I may have missed an opportunity to grab a cup of coffee or sit by the firepit and just sit and visit.  Yes, life gets busy, we have a family, work and responsibilities.

Craft beer has been just the answer to that problem.  No, I'm not drowning my sorrows.  It's been the opportunity to slow down and enjoy something special, something that took time to create and something that we should take time to enjoy.

Sitting down with a friend over a finely brewed malted beverage is the opportunity to converse, to listen and to slow down.  It's just not that often these days that we separate ourselves from this hectic world and its fast pace.  From our computers, email and text.

So, to the brewers who take the time to create something special, to be savored and enjoyed, I raise my glass.  To my friends who have enjoyed a malted hopped beverage and several hours of conversation with me, I appreciate you, your time and our friendship.

A fine craft beer, like a true friendship is meant to be savored!

Cheers
