You know your blog has “made it” in the blog world when the comments stop relating to the BS you’re posting about and start resembling a certain ham product often eaten in Hawaii. I wish I could say I do this for a living and have the time to weed out the spam from the real comments but I can’t quit my day job yet, so if you somehow found your comment didn’t make it up here, my bad… You would think grammar would be a good way to narrow down the spam comments as they often sound like “I couldent discover to much other material on this write-up, so it was good to discover this one” or “interesting topic I can’t find much on, thanks for writing” but with the facebooking/myspace/linkedin networking nowadays, that’s pretty much how real people talk online. So then you have to look into whatever URL they’re promoting and realize the comments should say something more like “come visit my porno site- $5/min to watch water sports…” (and not the kind you see in the X Games…) or “free credit report, because I’ve looked and you obviously don’t have any money to pay your bills!” Anyways, feel free to “spam comment” my blog with craft beer ads or free brake pads or something, but until then I’ll just keep using my trigger happy index finger to hit the spam/delete comment button.

The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of work, beer, softball, and trying to catch a breath (or a nap!) so I’m just going to upload a bunch of pics from my first trip covering PA to Maine and all in between and let your imaginations form the story. Let’s just say it involves the #1 beer bar in the world (Ebenezers, love this place), one that will probably come close to competing with that title yet is affiliated (Lion’s Pride, bartenders who know their shit and what a selection!), and some train/bar-hopping in Boston. Oh, my liver!

Sly Fox closed it’s doors at the Phoenixville location forever last Sunday, though you might still be able to sneak in the hole in the side where they removed the tanks. They are moving across the street, which according to their website could be anytime: “The exact opening date for the New Sly Fox Phoenixville is not yet known; it will be announced once all the inspections and permits are complete and a certificate of occupancy has been approved.” The goat races are still slated for May 2nd so we’ll see if they’re up and running by then, but I did overhear one owner say this past Sunday’s final pint night at the original location was so successful, they should just shut down every Sunday! Now if anyone has any connections to the local fire inspector and city permit office, put in a good word so we can get back to our regularly scheduled Monday night tasting group!

Overheard at the bar lately:
“I’m going to tap that Black Biscuit” (fine, but you’ll be walking funny!)
“I miss those 70’s porn mustaches on guys” (wait, that was me. And a joke. And um… mom and dad, I don’t watch porn. I swear, almost never. Hardly ever…)
Girlfriend defending boyfriend’s stupidity to another presumed idiot: “They weren’t two DUI’s, they were Unfortunate Incidents” (sure, and when he cheats on you, he really just tripped, lost his clothes, and her hot pocket kept him from faceplanting…)
“I strip to support myself through collage” (no, I didn’t misspell that!)
