New 'Keytar Bear' beer from Trillium will raise money for injured performer

Trillium is good shit.
Yeah, you have to pay for it but it's damn good. I am fortunate enough to walk by their storefront daily. I really like it but $15 for a four pack is a little steep.

If you'd stopped in Vermont you could have gotten all kinds of overpriced IPAs.

I know. I settled for my annual McDonalds visit. It was delicious.

Yeah, compared to older generation IPAs, the new canned haze is a lot more pricey, but compared to the barrel aged stuff I have a hard on for, it's still a fraction of the price.

Side note, I'm heading to Amherst in September and am hoping on stopping by Treehouse on the way.

I quit drinking due to health concerns (my heart rate would spike every time I drank).

Well, that's unfortunate. Any alcohol or do you have to really tie one on?

Even just a bit of wine. I stopped drinking to drunkenness years ago for the most part (except Christmas and major celebrations, but my last Christmas was sober).

I quit smoking years ago too. I also don't really drink coffee much now. I am turning Mormon against my will.

Shit. Hopefully this is just your system needing a rest and a reset.

Yeah, I haven't been able to figure it out. Carby foods also do it to me, and it's linked to severe panic attacks that spring on me from out of nowhere. I had a lot of hard living in my 20s, often eating little or not at all, followed by years in a part-time minimum wage job where the only bit of fun I could afford was having a drink (hello Kaleb). I suspect the malnutrition and substance use may have caught up with me. The other problem is that when I started going to school I gained a ton of weight (combo of weird hours, walking less, and giving up nicotine). So my plan is to lose the weight and see if that makes a significant impact, then maybe I could have a beer once in a while. But yeah, obviously anything heart-related is pretty scary. Unfortunately I am currently uninsured so going to the doctor is right out.

My resting heart rate is really low, actually, 60-75 which is supposed to be very good.

Sorry to hear about that, but I'm glad you are taking care of yourself!

Thanks, man. It helps that aside from financial issues and my health, my life is pretty good!

Losing weight can have all kinds of unexpected impacts. No idea whether there's a meaningful connection, but when I got my weight down to around 180 lbs, a lot of epilepsy-related stuff decreased (fewer glitches, much fewer seizures).
