Spit is out you wee little bastards

Another Scottish ale this week. Spring is in full force in south Texas. Apparently gnats like the sweet smell of wort, but here's the surprising thing. When I was brewing today they stayed away from the wort and went straight toward the beer I was drinking. Before I knew it I had 3 gnats drunk on the pilsner I made a few weeks ago.

Considering I'm down to the last few bottles of that tasty pils I  took drastic action. I promptly kicked the gnats out of my beer, cursed them for a little bit and defiantly drank the rest of my beer.

Beer is life.  Don't let nature drink your life.
