These corks are packed like the pin on a grenade. Once you finally get it loose, it pops off like a 13 year old boy with his dad’s Playboy. Good thing the beer is tasty! Just don’t lose an eye or you’ll be drinking like a Piraat- bad pun, Pirate.

1) Mecca for auto enthusiasts
2) Crazy Vegas nightlife

So the word’s out among the Big Three yellow piss pushing corporations: “maybe nobody wants to drink our crap anymore” as this article outlines.
What took them so long to have this duh moment? We’ve known their sales have been going down like a desperate chick at last call. And in that meantime, craft beer manufacturers are building bigger beer systems, selling into new markets, and opening up new places every happy hour.
My favorite part of the article is referring to a speech Tom Long (CEO Miller Coors) gave at a meeting of the National Beer Wholesales Association talking about how to sell beer. In no specific words, it’s inferred that they have to remind the public that beer tastes good. It’s a halfway right assertation to make. Good beer does taste good, but maybe these fizzy beer execs need to find a way to give their beer some taste at all to make them good. And to that, good luck. But I’ll refrain from having them pull the wool over my eyes!

Hahaha beer friends, I tricked you! You thought this post would be about my drinking skillz.
Pfft, I’m talking about thirsty engines! Injecting water, methanol, ethanol, or alcohol into your car’s engine can give you power.

Finger Lakes 2010
Wine tasting? Pfft. Bird watching? Eh. Track day and beer!
WGI (Watkins Glen International)- home to that redneck racing event called Nascar. Was I there for that? Hell no. I’m not a redneck. I can make right turns. I don’t shop at Walmart. I’m not attracted to my cousin. This was a hotlapping event- racing for people with teeth!
<– Looks like we got jacked. Can we get a drivetrain and frame for our comfy seats and steering wheels? I think Rob (middle with beige sweater) got the seat with the reach around- check out his smile!
Driving in that brace is difficult enough, not sure I could manage heel/toe on the track!
Beer/spirits tasting:
Finger Lakes Distilling (Cassis liquer, Riesling grappa, Rye whiskey: burns, baby, burns!)
Two Goats Brewing (2 on tap: IPA and Cream Ale)
Market Street Brewing (sampler; fave was the Dark Ale- roasted cocoa puffs)
Stonecat Cafe for dinner (beef posole, pumpkin ravioli, cheesecake, and a Smuttynose IPA)
