UPDATE: There’s nothing Happy about Sweetwater’s Ending. It’s got the distinct aroma of old, wet gym shirt, and that might explain the extra bitterness that lingers around the flavors of raw cocoa and rusty nail. Good thing I have five more of these.

i think the happy ending then may be that when it’s gone you’re glad you’re done. that’s the happy ending.

I think you need a Pete’s Strawberry Blonde in there just for effect.

Ooooh, that would be fun; but I’m a one-woman kind of guy. At a time, anyway. I wouldn’t want Brown Shugga to drop her Big Butt on the Strawberry Blonde, or there’d be no Happy Ending for Old Chub. Since you bring it up, though, I might as well go through the whole Vortex Midtown beer list and tick off all the suggestive ones I could add:
Sweet Georgia Brown; Doggie Style Pale Ale [though the Flying Dog lead-in kinda kills it]; Flying Dog’s Horn Dog Barleywine and In Heat Wheat [what’s with the dogs?]; Heavy Seas Peg Leg Imperial Stout [be sure to call a doctor if it lasts more than four hours]; Woodchuck Granny Smith Cider [’cause, uh…no wait, nevermind]; Old Peculier Ale [see previous Freudian slip]; Corsendonk Abbey Ales [just ’cause it’s fun to say Corsendonk]; Harviestoun Old Engine Oil [for the peg leg]; okay, that’ll do it.

Funny thing: I, too, have several Leinie’s Big Butt Doppelbock in my fridge. Huh. Small world? Maybe just a coincidence. A yummy coincidence. Mmmmm…Beer…
