It was blue skies when I opened the unmarked door and stepped into Sergio’s World Beers. Six hours later, it was just after ten when I said good night to Diana and Brandon and stepped out onto the sidewalk to call my Lyft. It was dark!
Before that I’d said good night to Chris and David, visiting from Somerset, KY. They were well educated and traveled men, theists unafraid to speak to an atheist and debate religion, climate change, and swap beer stories.
Before that I’d wished Shannon a happy birthday as he left. Another engineer, he told me things about Sergio I didn’t know, Sergio’s dad is a renowned mathematician!
Before that I’d congratulated the owner, Sergio Ribenboim on being made an Honorary Knight of the Brewer’s Paddle by the Guild of Brewers in Belgium. Sergio is a treasure for Louisville.
Six hours of delightful conversation fueled by four five wonderful beers, counting the Deus champagne beer Sergio shared for Shannon’ birthday. All in all, a typical session to be honest.
Strangers crossing bridges to meet in a bar.
