An Ode to Shower Beer

I'd like to take some time to discuss a topic near and dear to my heart: the shower beer.

Maybe you've heard of shower beers, maybe you haven't. It's not a difficult concept to understand. Basically, you drink a beer while you shower. I'd even liken it to a glass of wine during a bubble bath/long soak.

Why would you want a shower beer, you might ask. I've compiled a list of reasons to answer your question, reader.
1. It is among the best ways to unwind after a long day.
2. It's a great way to recover from an exhausting activity; such as yard work, roller derby practice, or disposing of a body.
3. It feels like a big EFF YOU to society.
4. Peeing while drinking a beer in the shower IS the American Dream, I've decided.
5. It's the ultimate in multitasking, furthering you on the path to drunkenness and cleanliness. And drunkenness is next to Godliness, right? I need another beer.
6. Hell, it's the only way I want an ice cold beer in the dead of Winter.

So now that you've decided that having a shower beer is the thing to do (I mean, ALL the cool kids are doing it), you have to decide what kind of beer you'll enjoy in your shower.

I favour something cheap and domestic, usually. If you know me well, you'll know I'll try to keep my fridge stocked with some craft beers to enjoy as well as some cheap beers to get you there. My domestic of choice is, of course, PBR. So that's usually what I choose for my shower beer. I figure it's possible that it could get water or suds in it, so there's no use in diluting or 'seasoning' something that cost more than a dollar. HOWEVER I can see merit in choosing a craft beer that you'd like to enjoy. That would make the whole experience classier, because you're savouring your beer.


Did you hear that?
That was the sound of me finishing my beer.
It seems it's time for another.
So this is Rita, signing off.
Good night and happy drinking!
