Epic Brewing - Exponential Series: Crooked Stave Brewing X Epic "Elder Brett" [Saison-Brett Golden Ale | Malt  Beverage Aged In Wine Barrels] (22oz ---> Dogfish Head Curved Pint Glass : 9.1% ABV)

  I'm proud to say that I DEFINITELY overuse the "thumbs up" accompanied by an awkward "forced smile" in my day to day life… So when I saw the graphic of a gentleman in a shirt, tie and bicycle helmet giving that same motion, I had to give it a try… THEN, upon further inspection I realized it's a portrayal of a Mormon, and the (original) brewery is located in Utah - And THAT shit is fuckin' funny… I note that the "original" brewery is from Utah as they somewhat recently expanded into Denver, where Crooked Stave is also located... Now to the beer… 

Video: Mike GIANT X EMIT DF

     Having first become aware of Mike GIANT's work in the San Francisco graffiti documentary "Piece By Piece," I began following his work more and more... Learning much about this individual from videos of lectures, interviews regarding meditation, and observing his co-founding of Rebel 8 clothing... I began seeing that I related somewhat to what he was saying and the lifestyle he was leading... One can appreciate his minimalist lifestyle, such as him riding a bike virtually everywhere, not even owning an automobile, and his ingestion of only natural foods... Shit, from what I witnessed, he only smokes his certain weed, as he was offered others many times, not accepting any, but still offering his own anytime he decided to spark up...
     He painted pretty effortlessly, usually in big sweeping strokes as he laid his grey outline down on the blank black wall in front of the small crowd that had amassed... They then quickly discussed color schemes as he decoded EMIT's unfinished piece, which he had been working on a while before GIANT had stepped outside... He took short breaks to smoke, sign shit, and eat some food, but his piece came right along as he finished up his fill...
