Greetings! Well, summer has once again passed here in Upstate NY and the fall season is again upon us, but I love the fall. Football season starts, baseball playoffs and the World Series are in full swing, the weather is a tad bit cooler, grapes are being harvested in the Finger Lakes, leaves change their hue and start falling, apples are being picked by the bushel, outdoor grilling gives way to nice hot comfort foods…well…you get the picture. It’s a very pleasant time of the year. Here's some random thoughts though….
As you all know I am a beer lover. I love cheap beer, expensive beer, ales, lagers, stouts, and a nice hearty I.P.A. as well. The fall is a great time for brewing, especially Oktoberfest style beers which are very abundant, but has anyone out there had this “pumpkin” lager stuff that goes around right about now???? Yuck! I know there are “fruity” beers like strawberry blondes, and cranberry ales, and I’ve often put a lime in a bottle of Corona, but I’m not sure if I want my beer tasting like pumpkin pie. Same goes for this maple and caramel stuff that goes around. Ew. The maple junk tastes like a stack of pancakes. But what do I know? I guess it sells well so that’s why they keep brewing it I suppose.
I’ve put somewhat of a moratorium on buying records for the time being, only because I’m overwhelmed with new 45s and have some catching up to do. I have some real interesting stuff to post so stay tuned, things are going to start picking up as I have more free time to get this blog out more frequently. I hope everyone enjoys this offering…… |
Hey Dan:
ReplyDeleteYour comps are always worth the wait.
I had a Blue Moon pumpkin beer the other day. It wasn't too bad, but give me a Yuengling Lager and I'm a happy guy. Am I unhip or what?
Thanks for the downloads.
Yuengling??? Unhip??? No sir, you are truly the hippest of the hip.I have a six pack in the fridge waiting to be sipped on later this afternoon.....

ReplyDeleteSun-Set: actually Brits (see Tommyknockers #1, Blog Spurensicherung / Roots & Traces)
ReplyDeletesaluti!
errata: the maker of the Tommyknockers-series has just told me that the Sun-Set were not British but American, sorry
ReplyDeleteA DJ told me that Uptown Records is a California label. I always come across California-based R&B and Dance music artists on it; no licensed stuff from elsewhere, but who knows...
