White Scotsman

I had the privilege on Saturday the 23rd of April to be present at the filming of a music video for the fine local band Ishi. They're a rock outfit, complete with absurdities such as top hats, rhinestone eyebrows, and glitter. The affair took place at the more understated Scot half of the English/Scottish pub "Crown and Harp". I walked in wanting to try a White Russian for the first time, though the bartender told me they had run out of cream and one of the band members had made off with their last bottle of Kahlua.

The Baseline

Good (Insert general time of day here) reader! I'm glad you came here to get your fill on (Choose one or more: Objective beer opinions / Various Magic the gathering subjects). This post shall serve several purposes. The first of which is to introduce you to my writing style. (Hopefully you can tolerate my dwelling in the parentheses.) This article shall also establish the grading system and basis for all my reviews, but more on that later. If you find my style a little much for you, I recommend you read the work of the esteemed writer and creator of the MtG format "Commander", Sheldon Menery here. (Though he chooses to drink wine if that has any bearing on your choice.)

And in the beginning...

So this is the beginning. A new era. Probably the first time in my life I've cared to write down details of my existence... No skin off my back to tell the truth. I suppose you may be wondering why we're here? I'm here because I've had a few good brews and my friends are into tequila so they dont want to hear anymore about Rahr Winter Warmer or how bad coors light is. You're probably here because you accidentally hit "I'm feeling lucky" searching for "magic home brew". Speaking of which. I'm also going to be talking about magic the gathering. (I'm sorry in advance for all the puns.) I currently love playing commander format, and all the while i'm going through the motions with standard. (for the archives, this is shortly after gp Dallas with the 32/32 Jaces and preordains top 8) Anyway, I'm going to be talking about my passions. Beer and Magic! Decklists and drinks to follow...
