The Power of Dispensing Beer

Tonight I had my first shift at Clive After Five. It was a blast! Perfect weather, plenty of people, and lots of beer.

My job was to just pull the Bud Select Tap for each person who wanted a glass. Pretty simple, huh? It didn't start out that way. I'm no expert in pouring beer. I didn't start to like beer until recently, so I don't have much keg expertise to draw on. (get it...draw on...) Anyway...my first few glasses were awful. Almost half the glass was foam. But thanks to some help from a patient (and hot) patron and my fellow beer pourers it all finally clicked. The patient patron even returned for another glass to test my new-found skill. And then he had to give me a hug because he'd helped teach me the finer techniques in pouring beer.

This patron was my first for another reason. He was my first beer flirter. I've never known how powerful the power of dispensing beer is. People love you. Guys flirt with you. Hot guys. I had guys telling me I poured the perfect beer or that my beer was the coldest and on and on. I can't remember the last time I've been flirted with so much. It was great! I almost thought I'd forgotten how.

All I can say is, I can't wait for next week! Behold...the power of beer!
