My liver sorta took a little break this week as the drinking was lighter than it usually is considering I didn’t have any events to go to.

Truth be told, I feel like crap when I don’t blog. But this week has been a busy one of boozy events like Neat’s one-year anniversary, following Simon Ford around at his guest bartending stints and covering Stone Brewing’s store opening in Pasadena.
