quilter's irish death

what does THAT mean???

well it's simple. it's a beer.

oh yeah...a beer.

it's real. {it's only in 2 states, but it's out there.}

have i had it...NO!!! do i want to...YEPPERS!!!

thanks to pat sloan i found out about this beer. {thanks pat!!!}

and these guys are...iron horse brewery.

i've been all over their website...which is nifty.

i've read their story...which is interesting.

i've even emailed them!!! i swear it.

here's what i said to them:

i'm dropping yall a line so i can get situated!

:O)

i'm very curious about getting my hands on some of this quilter's irish death.

#1 i'm irish.

#2 i'm a quilter.

#3 i just need it. {refer back to #1}

mmkkayyy.

for the love of all things irish...please contact me.

fyi: the reason i opened my email that way is because of something they said on their 'find our beers' page. i wasn't trying to be rude. lol.

look for a quilter's irish death update on monday. promise.

i heart ireland

seriously i do.

cutest thing happened the night before last.
the hubby said, "what do you REALLY want for your birthday...from me?"
as i layed there looking at him i guess he must have seen the shamrock shaped lightblub light up above my head because i didn't even have the chance to answer.
he just smiled at me and said, "honey, i can't send you to ireland for your birthday. but maybe at tax time!"

my birthday is september 22nd. less than 2 months away. why can't we go to ireland???
{wink wink}

so if i can't have ireland in all it's splender, i'll wish for the next best thing:
a trip to an irish pub and a copy of tour ireland with pat sloan.
sounds good to me.
{tax time is only 7ish months away!!!}

you can find pat's tour ireland book here.
{hint hint hubby. or hint hint momma}
:O)
