Great Day for a Beer

Sunday began this month's challenge of drinking more water, drinking nothing but water. Sunday also came with the opportunity to help prep and paint a house in Palmdale, a community in the high desert region of the northeastern part of Los Angeles County. A great day of working outside with friends and family as well as learning about what it takes to paint a house. After a warm day of manual labor in the sun there is one beverage that reigns supreme over the rest.


Doesn't really matter what your brand of choice is. As a self-professed drink snob, this is the one occasion where drinkers of all types of quality can come together to enjoy a brew. This is also the one time when a lesser beer might even be more apropos. Why? Science.

I couldn't fail this challenge on Day 1 though.

After some hard work a few of us decided to travel into the mountains for an adventure. This adventure would lead us to the relaxing creek of Piru. With a cooler filled with chips, dried fruit, peanuts and some 'cold ones', four adventurers began the coolest Happy Hour in Los Angeles.
With our sore feet cooling in the creek, we laughed, we talked, we fished, we ate and we drank. What is it about being outdoors with your buds that makes a cold beer taste better?

Two great activities in one day, my first day of the challenge, that were begging to be capped off by a cold refreshing beer.


Did I have a cold one with my friends? Yes. But it was a different cold one.
