I'm sitting here on hold with Walgreens trying to get my vaccine scheduled. I'm the last creep at IBW to get stuck. I've decided to turn this into a drinking game. Every time I want to throw my phone against the wall, I drink a RAIMBOBERRY PIE.

This flipping CIA torture technique of a hold message is not helping anything...

ALL OF OUR REPRESENTATIVES ARE STILL HELPING OTHER CALLERS, WE'LL BE WITH YOU AS SOON AS WE CAN. WE APPRECIATE YOU PATIENCE. ALL OF OUR REPRESENTATIVES ARE STILL HELPING OTHERS...

I'm on my 4th RAIMBO now. It's getting dark. I hope the Walgreens rep that finally answers my call - and ends this demonic mantra! - is chatty. I'm ready for a good talk, a cigarette and a shot... of whisky.

Thank all of the Old Ones (especially you AZOTHOTH!) that this RAIMBOBERRY PIE is a delicious curative and an effective numbing agent for my aging and easily agitated mind. And that it's finally out of glass an into easily crushed 16oz aluminum cans!

At 8%, RAIMBO is sessionable... as long as you've had a large enough meal. My daily lunch routine of a pound and half of Alaskan King crab legs, 8oz filet mignon & a pint of that dairy-free Ben & Jerry's "PB Cookie" is holding up it's end of the bargain, so far. So, I've got that going for me.

And RAIMBO's a delightful dessert beer to capstone my new diet routine. Tastes just like Brambleberry Pie with all that raspberry, blackberry & boysenberry stacked on top of Madagascar vanilla and Vietnamese cassia. Oh, yeah, and there's even beer in there! But you'll have to take my word on that.

RAIMBOBERRY PIE goes out to the city today, West burbs, tomorrow, North Thursday and South Friday. Ohio got it today and Colorado gets it next week.

Speaking of Colorado, we're sending our love to our friends at our Boulder-based distributor today, Brewer's Star, as they pick up the pieces from another awful shooting in their small community. It seems so far away right now, but I'm going to keep dreaming as hard as post-humanly possible for a day where us dumb monkeys can stop shooting each other.

That dream might begin when we all start seeing ourselves in everyone else - no matter what bad ideas the OTHER might have - and start taking mental health seriously.

Alright folks, we love you, we believe in you and we believe in the future.

XOXOXOXOXO!
