James Watt of BrewDog gives the best responses to the My Last Pint so far. If you aren’t familiar with the site, the premise is to ask for your last pint what would it be? where would it be? would you eat? with whom?
My Last Pint is awfully morbid, yet very interesting to read (or watch, sometimes there is video). As for me…
What would you drink? I would stretch the rules of last pint a bit and say I would want 5, 4 oz glasses filled with Deschutes’ Abyss from the last 5 years. I can’t think of a more fitting way to walk through the past and after 20 ounces of the Abyss I would probably just fall asleep anyway and who doesn’t want to go that way?
Where would it be? This is a tough one. I’ve lived in so many places, but if I get to choose anywhere I think I would pick Vancouver, BC in the summer. I would find a nice secluded spot in Stanley Park, maybe overlooking the Lions Gate Bridge (donated by the Guiness family ya know?).
What would you eat? I would go for a nice picnic of cheese, bread, fruits, and nuts. There are too many good choices here, it could be a whole other article. Suffice it to say I would head to a Whole Foods or a local cheese shop and just go crazy. Then I would pair it with some good fresh crusty bread and some hood strawberries…sorry, this is supposed to be about beer.
Who would you be with? Man, this question makes this exercise tough. It’s all beer and food and wonderful places and then bam you have to choose the last people alive with you that you are going to leave behind. So I will take more license and assume this is in the future after my kid(s) have grown up. I would take my amazing wife and our dog (yes, he would somehow still be alive) on a cross country road trip and up the coast visiting family and friends. Cap it off in Stanley Park and enjoy the view. We would, of course, have to go at the same time since I have a deal with my wife that she has to die first, I think the same time would be equally acceptable.
Wow, I never realized just how dark the my last pint blog is until I took to answering the questions myself. Still it’s certainly an interesting exercise. Anyone else brave enough to answer the questions? That’s what comments and google buzz are for!
