Fat Tug

Fat Tug! Now we’re talking.

This one doesn’t sneak up on you. It kicks the door open, tracks mud on the floor, and dares you to complain.

First sip and boom. Hops.

Not the polite kind either. Big, punchy, grapefruit-peel bitterness with this piney thing going on that makes you feel like you just licked a Christmas tree. I mean that in a good way. I think.

Malt shows up right after, trying to keep the peace with a bit of caramel sweetness, but let’s be honest, the hops run the show here.

It’s thick. Heavy, and definitely not a lawnmower beer.

This is a sit-down, stare-into-the-distance, question-your-life-choices kind of IPA.

The alcohol warmth creeps in, too. You don’t notice at first, then suddenly your legs are like, hey Scott, maybe we should sit for a minute.

Burp.

Still grapefruit.

What I like most is that it feels deliberate. No confusion, no weird aftertaste that makes you wonder if your tongue is broken. Just bold, bitter, and very proud of it.

You drink Fat Tug because you want a little flavor to punch you in the face. And sometimes… that’s exactly what a day calls for.

Speaking of things I missed, Beer with Kyle being back?

Man. I didn’t realize how much I needed that until it returned. Sitting there with a beer, listening to Kyle talk shop, ideas, life… it kind of reset my brain. It reminded me why I like this whole online business world in the first place.

Community. Real talk. Not just dashboards and stats.

Also made me realize something else.

I really don’t like coffee.

I tried going back to it during the vlog drought. Thought maybe I’d become one of those focused, productive, coffee-in-hand people. Nope. Just ended up jittery, slightly angry, and wondering why my drink tasted like burnt regret.

Beer with Kyle comes back, I grab a proper brew, and suddenly the universe makes sense again.

Fat Tug in hand. Kyle on screen. Life is slightly less confusing.

Well, time for a shot.
