HAPPY

"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."
-- Benjamin Franklin

The ranch hand ain't sure Brother Franklin was the best authority on theological matters, but he surely knew the heart of a country barbecue pit master apprentice.

Don't reckon it would be possible to enjoy meat smokin' to its fullest without the chef imbibing a bit of that cold brew? The suds seem to flavor the process while slowing time to its most delicious crawl.

A low, slow oak fire...curls of dark cloud slithering skyward from the stack.....and the promised olfactory hint of precisely burned protein on a plate before the day's end.

Ole Ben may have something there cause this fat boy sure is "happy" when the pit is hot and the adult beverage is cold.
