"You can always rely on a good beer." Words worth remembering. My room mate got home from his Christmas Family Visit to Halifax, Nova Scotia and brought me a six pack of a seasonal beer from my favorite Down East microbrewery, Propeller. Is this the coolest name for a beer ever? http://knarfdummyblog.blogspot.com/2009/12/beer-of-proletariate.html Plus he knows I like a good stout. Full report on the quality of the beer after a proper sampling (if I can still type). BTW, Bill, that ~is~ a wonderful photo. I don't know if it's the best I've seen from you this year, but it's pretty damned good! Haven't seen Bushwacker in Ontario yet.
