This is pretty much what happens in my brain every day. The curse of the short-attention span.

Piggy Wiggly Pig Swig
Nothing like a little downtime at an airport to get me thinking about beer. It is, after all, noon somewhere. In my family, noon was the appropriate starting time, not 5 o’clock. Life is too short for clock-watching.
Memorial day weekend saw the release of the Pig Swig line of beers at Piggy Wiggly. Pig Swig is a store brand brewed exclusively for the Pig by Thomas Creek Brewery of Greenville, SC (pronounced green-vull by the way). Pig Swig comes in two styles, the Pig Pen Pilsner and the Pig Tail Ale. Both are really good beers and something that will definitely be a big part of my hot South Carolina Summer.
The Pig Tail Ale is reminisce t of a fat tire. Nice malt presence and very easy to drink. I think it clocked in at about 5.5%.
The Pig Pen Pilsner though is the beer to really talk about. This damn pilsner is damn near perfect. A great, refreshing pils with just the right about of bitterness to balance out the hops. Easily one of the best I have ever had. Kudos to Thomas Creek whose own Pilsner is rock solid. This 4.5% beer is perfect for the heat. Buy it by the case.
I can’t tell you how they looked as both were perfect right from the bottle. It’s 99 outside, screw glasses!
