I love the smell of Bell's in the morning. It smells like....victory!


There is something wondrous about punching the clock at 7am and walking out of work.  Knowing that you survived the night, bags under your eyes and all.  You feel like you accomplished something.  To those of you who have never had the pleasure of working the "graveyard" shift, it can be a thing of beauty.  The best part of it is heading down to the local beer store at 7:12a.m. and throwing a 6 pack up on the counter.  You have the line of people behind you with their Pop Tarts and coffee and even the rebellious guy who buys a RedBull.  But nothing tops buying beer at 7am.  You can feel strange, ashamed, guilty, but realize that this 7am is your 5pm!  Be proud to buy the beer!  Don't give any damn explanations, just sit the 6 pack on the counter and smile.  I like to ask for a free bag of popcorn just because.
This morning I bought the big dog of Bell's.  The Two Hearted Ale.  Sure it's expensive.  At almost $10/6pack, you better be getting you money's worth.  Well beer drinking friends, with the Two Hearted Ale you get more than just your money's worth, you get a 6 pack of hop fueled tasty spirit that will send you to outer orbit.  It's hoppiness is not overdone, which seems to be the flavor of the day with a lot of breweries.  As you uncap the beast, you will find that the hoppy flowery smell that invites your nose and tastebuds is just the perfect mix of hop and beer.  You aren't left trying t choke down the bottle after a few swigs because of the bitterness.  It is just the right amount.  Larry Bell has figured that the hop heads of beer will enjoy this one without all the frills and chills.
I would suggtest that you take a 6 pack of Two Hearted home today to give it a try.  I don't think you will be disappointed at all.
Drink well my friends!
