Why, you ask? Why, because I have just been promoted at work, to the position of Brewer. That's right, starting March 7th, I brew beer for a living. All my German, Czech, and Irish ancestors can finally rest easy.
So, put down the boxed wine and the girlie tequila, and pick up a damned beer! It's good for you! It's delicious! And it'll get you drunk!
Yay!
Oh, and I get a raise, which means more money to spend on cars and racing, not weddings, houses, Tempurpedic mattresses, or anything else my fiancee wants. So there!
(If it's not immediately obvious, I've been taking my own advice. Beer is tasty. And 5:30 am tomorrow is gonna suck.)

Yay! I will be drinking said beer(s) tomorrow at about 1:00PM.
If I ever see Troegs around here, I'll be sure to try it.
Congrats. I raise a glass of White Grape juice in your honor.
I bottled some IPA last weekend, the Imperial Russian Stout is ready and has your name on it. First one's on you!
Congrats. A job you like and can make money at? Dayum jealous!

Had two in honor of the OP. Yeah, that's the reason.
Which beers should we buy en masse so you can take credit at the next financial meeting?

Congrats! Let us know when your first batch gets shipped and how to ID it and I'll be sure to grab a six and tell you what I think
don't need to ask me twice. if troegs brews an ipa i'll drink it.
That is awesome! Congratulations!
Like everyone else said, you enjoy it and get to make money? Savor it, you are a lucky man.
slainte' !
May the winds of fortune sail you,
May you sail a gentle sea.
May it always be the other guy
who says, "this drink's on me."
Congratulations, even though I am more than slightly jealous.
Thanks ! I needed a good news story to start the weekend
Like the Parade lap option for the Mitty Tix maybe GRM could add on some $$ for a couple of kegs
Congratulations! I wonder if I can find Troegs over here in Georgia...
Tonight, my first Mt Carmel Brown Ale will be devoted to you...and the next 5 will be devoted to how much I love beer
I'll have to find see if I can some Troegs around here! I used to drink it pretty regularly when I lived in PA. Good stuff!
