Stopped by B3 today to pickup up a few things. When i asked about mash paddles, the young man told me to follow him back into the warehouse. I imeditally froze in my place........ me? You want me to follow you where??? As i choked out the last of my words, the doorway to the back Illuminated in a yellow golden color and a sense of warmth overcame me. A voice then told me to enter the promise land.
Now i've never been in "his" house before but i felt totally at ease with a sense of peace that I haven't felt in such a long time. As i walked through the door, i was meet with such a sight of wonder. For as far as i could see, there were rows and rows of shelves stacked with all the heavenly items that make our humble hobby possible.
As I walked around, i noticed a brew pot basked in a brillant blue glowing flame. As the voice again talked, the flame grew with intensity. "This my son, all created for you and your brewing brothers" I stood frozen, not looking directly into the flame. "But I am just a humble brewer" i said, "How is it that I am able to enter your kingdom?" The flame grew brighter and I thought for a moment that I would be burned. "All who brew my son are welcomed to enter and rejoice" Just then, the young man appeared and said that it was time to leave.
As i paid for my items and walked to the door, i looked back to the young man.. "Did i really see what i saw?" He just smiled, "Have a good day and happy brewing" As I closed the door, I caught my reflection in the glass. I noticed the hair around my sides of my head had turned white. I walked to my car with a smile that never seemed to end.
Oh yes, i've been to Mecca. A wonderous place it is.
