With reverence to @Burn-it-Smith for a strong dose of inspiration. The Barrelhouse Bard from Brighton is SoundCloud's leading purveyor of upright wit and wisdom. Check him out.

You’re so beautiful when you are drunk
Your left eye goes lazy and you act like a punk
You laugh as you trip on the heels of your pumps
You’re so beautiful when you are drunk

I get lost in your glassy eyed stare
You’re the center of attention but you don’t even care
I mumble, “I love you,” like it’s some kind of prayer
You just give me your glassy eyed stare

We stumble through the streets and I fall down at your feet
It’s the same old thing we did last week
Another beer cave for us to spelunk 
Just another drink with just another drunk

You have grace, glamour, and style
As you fumble with the phone that you can’t even dial
We sleep in the taxi that only takes us a mile
So much for grace glamour and style

I love the smell of merlot on your breath
As you yell at the door as if it were deaf
On the couch like a corpse the only thing that is left
Is the smell of merlot on your breath

Pink elephants on parade, will we ever have it made?
The money’s always gone before I get paid
And all I can think of after all I have thunk
Is you’re so beautiful when you are drunk
You’re so beautiful when you are drunk

You're So Beautiful When You Are Drunk

BarrelHouse was established in 2013 by co-owners Jason Carvalho and Kevin Nickell, along with Chris Vaughn with a simple mission… bring together Good People, Good Times, and Great Beer.  Since those early garage brewing days, BarrelHouse has quickly grown to be the largest family owned and operated craft brewery in San Luis Obispo County.  Cold Brew is crafted with a generous amount of cold press espresso from local roaster Dark Nectar, plus vanilla, lactose, and oats for a mind-altering Blonde Stout experience! Plus, this beer does have caffeine.

This week on FDB -  How Hawaiin are Hawaiin Rolls? Do hamsters have secret spy abilities we’re not aware of? Dude kicks it with his own leg. And more!

Now please kick back, and enjoy another sit down with Friends Drink Beer.

132. Cold Brew by BarrelHouse Brewing Company

Bobby is a bureaucrat
He made a million dollars
Daddy is a diplomat
He never has to holler

Benny has a billy club
He says it's his salvation
Made a couple collars
Mever made it to the station

Everybody everwhere
Is making out like Monday
Makin' out like they don't care
But where's their heart on Sunday

Why do good things
Happen to bad people

Sammy sold his senate seat 
And everybody 		bought shares
Jimmy jumped a Jewish guy
The jury they did	not care

Julie got the juicy part
She never did audition
Daddy did a dirty thing
A sister got suspicioned

Everybody everywhere
They making out immensely
They fucking over freddy
And enjoying it intensely

Why do good things
Happen to bad people

Well
Sammy sold his senate seat
And everybody           bought shares
Jimmy jumped a Jewish guy
The jury they did       not care

Julie got the juicy part
She never did audition
Daddy did a dirty thing
A sister got suspicioned

Why do good things
Happen to bad people

Good Things (bad people)

Good Things

Friends Drink Beer is a podcast where two friends: Ryan and Alex share a pint with their listener. Each week, there is a new beer served, and each week, new topics discussed! In so many words: It's an ordinary conversation with two people you feel like you already know.

Baby of the 80s, teen of the 90s, obsessed with the 60s and 70s; an FM wannabe in a Youtube world. I guess I just wasn't made for these times. I like songwriting in the Gershwin, Tin Pan Alley, Lennon/McCartney tradition. I prefer records to singles. I prefer three minutes to ten.

According to my mama, I was whistling before I learned to talk. I played organ in the Memphis garage rock scene between 2000 and 2016. I've done a lot of studio work, adding keys to records by songwriters that I really admire.

I'm now focused on recording my own songs. I have a minimal home recording set up with a laptop, microphones, cheap guitars, drums, piano, and a grab bag of other toys. All my lyrics rhyme with the truth, or at least I think they do. 

Life is short and there are more good songs then there are raindrops. Which is to say: thank you very much for lending me your ears.

Rock 'n' roll is dead, long live rock 'n' roll.
