Well, folks, it’s the Fourth of July, I’m Chuck McHaze, and I’ll tell you what… I have never been more excited to present a weekend forecast than I am right now.

Let’s go to the map.

THE SITUATION ON THE GROUND

Officials are urging the public to enjoy the deliciousness of a cold, wavy, hazy Mind Haze IPA. Across this great nation, I can confirm that fridges are being restocked and I want you to know that I was ahead of this story by about three days myself.

Americans nationwide are preparing. Fireworks, grilled meat, crushing brewskis with the boys? Check, check, and check. This is not a drill. This is the forecast we trained for.

CHUCK’S HOLIDAY ADVISORY

This beer makes me want to eat a hot dog, but I don’t want to fill my stomach up because I need some more room for some Mind Haze.

Stock the cooler using the beer finder here. Find a patch of grass, a lawn chair, a grill, or simply a stretch of open sky. Take in the view of the fireworks. Let your mind wander.

Happy birthday, America.

The Mind Haze Weather Center forecast is provided for entertainment and thirst-quenching purposes. Please drink responsibly. Chuck McHaze is a fictional character. But the beer is very real.
