What a way to go! Being carried up to the Pearly Gates, wrapped in the arms of a Beer Angel, who is carrying two 7.5% 85 IBU IPAs. You’re offered a taste every now and then, and when in front of St Peter, he says Cheers, as the angel flies off, leaving you with the two mugs. You pass through the Gates of PearlyMugs and see all who are there look all contented and happy with an eternal supply of central Oregon beer. Ahhhh!
