Thanks for the drill. It is always good to have a plan for these types of emergencies.

There's a saucer and bosco's in Memphis?

1) I'm at work
2) The Abyss in my drawer is technically closer to me than the Alesmith Imperial Porter
3) I have to open the drawer. I'd like to chill it a bit first. If I want a cold beer, Alesmith's tasting room happens to be open right now.
4) My coworker brought in a bottle of his brown ale today. I think it is in the cube across from me in the fridge.
5) I'd have to walk about 4 steps.
