Beer Generosity
Sep 7, 2009 Beer & Food
Some of you may know my associate, Deidre. She’s a great fit for the beer business we are working on – determined, smart, diplomatic, assertive, willing to make the ask, loves beer.
Gritty's Halloween Ale
She recently got in touch with Gritty’s per their beers. Well, fun story short, Ann Ewing and Thomas Wilson were able facilitate us trying their Halloween Ale.
THANKS! To Diedre for reaching out, to Ann for reaching back, and to Thomas for sharing.
My thoughts? Tasty fuller bodied beer which will surely go well with lush flavored fall foods; squashes, roasted vegetables, grilled red meats.
And Ann – I’ll hope to see you in November during my cross country trip. I’ll take you up on some good beers & food when we come through Maine.
Cheers & Happy Labor Day All ~

Savor-ful
Jun 2, 2009 Brain Stew
Did you get to enjoy Savor this past weekend? Unfortunately I was not there (this 
year) – hoping to go next year.
Beer awareness and de-demonizing beer is a good battle I plan to continue to help fight.
Beer – just like one bad snowmobiler, one bad teacher or one bad apple – is not the devil. It’s the one ‘baddie’, not the whole group. Over the years people have come to blame beer as a scape goat. Untrue. (Look instead to the corrupt sheepherder.)
Indeed, we all need to take FULL responsibility for our own actions, and the consequences of those actions.
Savor, I believe, is all about raising awareness that beer is a premium, affordable luxury. That, incidentally and happily, helped America grow and thrive.
Hats off, I say! Savor your beer (don’t guzzle or slam it) and you’ll be making progress. Beer is tasty, luscious, refreshing, satiating beverage. Enjoy it as such.
Savor it.
