My ability to do all of the nerd things that i enjoy is much more difficult than it used to be. Having kids will do that kind of thing. And sure, i got to go out with my fellow vinyl nerds a couple of weeks ago for Record Store Day, but i have not yet been able to go and see "Avengers: Endgame," and i have no idea when that will be remedied. It's just hard to coordinate all this kind of stuff when you've got a kindergartener and a 3-year old with needs and demands of their own. Anyway, one of my nerd things that i very much love to do is watch the triumphant return of Joe Bob Briggs on Friday Nights for "The Last Drive-In." For the uninitiated, it's a horror double feature full of Joe Bob's unique commentary that streams on Shudder. And it starts at 8PM central time when my boys are still both awake and wanting to watch Power Rangers or Trolls or whatever else there in to at that given moment. So i don't always get to watch it live.
But every now and then, my sons pass out early, exhausted from their week, and i get to sit in my dark living room, beer in hand, and watch some splatterfests. Most recently, my beer of choice was the excellent and excellently named Supernaut, a 12% ABV imperial stout from Austin's
4th Tap Brewing. The beer pours black with a brownish tan head and smells of chocolate, roasted malt, and molasses. The flavor is a balanced mix of sweet and bitter, toasty malt notes combined with the chocolate with a lacy, kind of oily finish, a fantastic heavy brew to watch monster movies to. It may be my go-to on Friday nights for the foreseeable future.
