I stood in line on this gorgeous day at Highland Brewing with a couple hundred of my closest friends, waiting for the clock to strike 12:01. We’d assembled as an elite group of India Pale Ale fans, seeking to purchase Imperial Kashmir, a special batch of Highland’s Kashmir IPA. Imperial Kashmir is up for sale today only with less than 3000 bottles produced. The Imperial brew has a 10.2% alcohol content and is in 22 ounce bottles for your drinking pleasure.
Everyone was prepared with cash and identification in hand, so the line moved along fairly quickly. The line was still growing when we pulled out of the parking lot, IPA stowed safely in the trunk.
My Imperial Kashmir is in the fridge. I won’t tell you how many bottles I bought, but it’s mine, mine, mine. I would only split a bottle with one or two souls on the planet, and if you have to ask, you’re probably not worthy.
I haven’t cracked a bottle open yet. I’m waiting for the cool of evening, the quiet of my house when MiniMe has gone to bed. I will then take to the front porch, put my feet up and enjoy.
can i have a beer? i like beer.
Hmmm you are the stealer of beers. No beer is safe with you. You don’t share.
