4 AND A POUR

For the first installment of this blog I am going to keep it simple.  Air Jordan's were, are and always will be the illest sneakers on the planet.  Trying to pick a favorite Jordan is impossible.  That's like asking me what my favorite Beatles song is.  It can change at any moment depending on my mood.  The same goes for Jordan's.  Today I'm feeling  the 4's.  What a work of art these are.  If my memory serves me correctly these came out when I was in 5th grade.  EVERYBODY WANTED THESE.  Few actually were able to persuade their parents to shell out the $100 to cop these and knock-offs were more prominent than authentic's.  Any way you look at it, these were game changers.  Many different color combinations were available and to this day you can find some amazing custom joints but the classics were the all blacks or the white with grey cement.

Don't get them messed up though.

 My plan with this blog is to choose a sneaker and as I start to break that sneaker down, try to think of a beer that compliments them in some way.  Why?  BECAUSE I CAN.

So I asked myself......What would Mars Blackmon drink?

It's Black.  It's Brooklyn. 

In all seriousness if you haven't had this beer yet I suggest you pick one up ASAP.
10.7% alcohol and dark as night.

I leave you with the commercial description

Barrel-aged in Woodford Reserve bottles. Brooklyn Black Ops does not exist. However, if it did exist, it would be a robust stout concocted by the Brooklyn brewing team under cover of secrecy and hidden from everyone else at the brewery. Supposedly, "Black Ops" was aged for four months in bourbon barrels, bottled flat, and re-fermented with Champagne yeast, creating big chocolate and coffee flavors with a rich underpinning of vanilla-like oak notes. They say there are only 1000 cases. We have no idea what they’re talking about.

CHEERS.
