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!

Pfft, I’m talking about thirsty engines!  Injecting water, methanol, ethanol, or alcohol into your car’s engine can give you power.

Check out my latest Q&A for MotoIQ to find out why/how!

Wine tasting?  Pfft.  Bird watching?  Eh.  Track day and beer!

WGI carsWGI (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!

 

wgi beerBeer/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)

These classic hot rod guys sure know how to do it!

Powered by beer?  Not quite.

It appears to be an overfill reservior for the radiator, and probably not filled with the light lager it advertises.

And no, when you’re done, peeing in the gas tank won’t get you home!

FYI, reload the page if clicking on Sofia’s face (hardy har har…) doesn’t get the video to come up at first.

<spoiler alert, spoiler alert>Maybe it’s not- check out my list below for decent draft choices at airports.

Another successful Hopfest at Union Jack’s Manatawny…

With reservations taken far in advance, all tables including the usually closed banquet hall were completely booked.  Luckily, the weather was nice enough to grab a beer and enjoy it outside.

The Pliny was plentiful (for about 30 minutes) and replaced by Supplication (which lasted maybe even less time), but check out the rest of this list:
