Unapologetic beer snob that I have become (I do live within the highest density of beer brewerys in the nation…I’m just sayin…), those who have only known me over the last decade or so might balk at the notion of me tossing back an Old-E or St. Ides, but anyone who knew me between the ages of 12 and 21 knew that I was always quick to take a stroll down the path de malt liquor---shit, things got so out of hand in Florida that the state actually banned 40oz. beverages in the late ‘90s, replacing them with the lowly 32oz. Another musician that we lost far too soon, Bradley Nowell and his buddies in Sublime provided the soundtrack to many a day spent at the beach, smoking blunts of schwag, drinking, eating blotters & ‘shrooms, pretending to skateboard and surf in the pathetic wake down in South FLA…ah, good times, good times.
