I’m back!
So, it has been a loooong time since my last blog. Retirement got in the way! After 12+ years of retirement, I have now gotten into a routine!
Last Wednesday, August 15, I was in the beer section of Giant Eagle in Indiana, PA. I abruptly stopped at an end cap and couldn’t believe my eyes. There was a big display of pumpkin and Octoberfest beers! In August! Kind of like Christmas music before Thanksgiving.
In past years I would have been excited, but this year I am coming off a GREAT summer of Fruit, Gose and Sour beers. I hate to see this season end. There was a great fruit beer offering from Boulevard Brewing that I enjoyed immensely - Jam Band. Also, there were some wonderful Goses and Sours from Destihl Brewing and Mikkeller Brewing, amongst others.
But, I gave in to my desires and grabbed Elysian Brewing’s Night Owl, a pumpkin ale. Really glad I did. As good as Southern Tier’s Pumking but with a lower ABV. So, I guess I can say goodbye to my summer favorites, after maybe drawing it out a little bit longer, and welcome the fall brews!
Cheers!
