A long awaited parcel arrived today. Hikari Shinwa: Palutena no Kagami (Kid Icarus) for the GBA. It's friday evening over here (8:10 pm) and I'm having a craft beer, just chilling. Doesn't get better than this.
Nice. I want to try that Iron Maiden Eddie beer so bad! 
The Trooper? http://www.brandsforfans.se/trooper/the-drinks.html It's pretty nice! 
In Sweden we've got this company that houses beer for a lot of (metal) bands. Not sure if it's the same in the States, but I really like the Motörhead Bastards Lager Beer.
Yeah...the Trooper! Me want! Most of those craft beers never make it to the States, at least not where I live. It's all Budweiser stuff for the most part. Sam Adams, Corona and Heineken are readily available as well. Oh, and Blue Moon.
No decent microbreweries in your area?
Nothing remotely close. 
Ouch. 
Let me tell you about where I live. Mind you, I love it here because it's the country, people aren't jammed up my rear and I get to see beautiful wildlife including deer, turkey, a very rare mountain lion appearance, Bobcats, chipmunks, turtles, squirrels, raccoons, quail, coyotes and twice in the last 30 years, a beautiful wolf. Most people are friendly and will strike up a conversation with you. Great, right?
Unfortunately, the political climate is charged and if it ain't Budweiser, it's not really around. I'm not going to get political and I believe everyone has the right to feel, believe, love and vote however they want. But I get real tired of hearing "That commie Mus-lam Osamabama done got it in fear our Guinns! He's ruined this here country. Gasoline done gone be eight dollars by time he's out! Who knows when that gonna happen! He's building FEMA death camps and gone declare martial law! The Muslim flag gone fly over White House yessiree." Blah, blah, blah. It gets old. Oh, and everywhere you go with a tv on, it Faux News and their propaganda-laden spiel.
Like I said, I don't care what side of the political spectrum you fall on. But I can't stand hearing that fear mongering bullshit.
