With apologies to “Blues Brothers.”
It’s time for the hiatus to end.
It’s been three good months off, for various reasons, but I have had some pretty terrific beers over the last month or so, and there are number of other things happening that compel me to get things going again.
My annual trip to western Pennsylvania to go camping resulted in the usual beer trading and the chance to sample beer from places like Fat Tire and Three Floyds, which do not distribute here in upstate New York. I expected to enjoy the Three Floyds Gumball Head, and I did. Another highlight was the Fat Tire Ranger IPA.
I also spent some quality time with the Founder “Old Dirty Bastard,” a great Scotch Ale, and Great Lakes “Edmund Fitzgerald Porter.” In exchange, my friends got IPAs from Davidson’s, Brown’s, Long Trail and Lake Placid. Good times all around.
Today’s plan is the Red Cross benefit beer festival at Saratoga Race Course.
Stay tuned.
