i work really hard making loads of money for other people and not much for myself. though i do enjoy my job which is fine by me and seems to be a rarity these days.

went to the hipster beer shop today and it turns out it's not hipster at all. bought a growler of beavertown neck oil and a belgian beer called delirium tremens. it all cost £££ but is a very nice shop and they have a huge selection so will definitely go back.

WTF is a growler? I only know one definition of that in English, and you certainly wouldn't want to fill it with beer.

Delerium do a really nice, easy-drinking christmas beer that is also ~10.5%. It is incredibly dangerous, but also expensive.

All the Delirium is really good, that an Saison Dupont are my Belgian beers of choice.

Also I'm afraid the shop you went into sold growlers and therefore is a hipster shop, it's you, you're the hipster.

I've got mixed feelings about Beavertown beer, the Gamma Ray is good though.

To me (and granted I picked this usage up in the US) it's a large bottle with a stopper held on by a metal spring/clip thing. Sort of thing Belgian beer sometimes comes in.

that's a cool job. Divide your earnings by the average and multiply by 100 to get the percentage. We might have a winner though holy poo poo ^^^

You do drink growlers of craft beer though, so the evidence is against you on this.

270% over would be ~£85k around here. I could buy a better quality of chocolate biscuits with that.
