Broadening Our Horizons XXVIII

Kinda-sorta, in that we do this Octoberfest thang every year around this time...


That's a Sammy Adams Octoberfest, about which one of the Bros has this to say:
T&M- Very malty, not overly sweet. Lots of bready notes, lightly toasted crust comes to mind. Kiss of hops to balance, slight herbal flavor. Finishes semi-sweet with a lingering maltiness.

D- A tasty choice this year, its good to have a fresh O-fest rather than getting burned by a stale imported O-fest that has been sitting around since last year.
Yup... fresh.  And good.  That's the remnants of a Rocky Patel Decade you see idling in the ash tray.  The reason you see a remnant is we're just in from runnin' our errands depleting our bank account; we got a head start on the cigar thang while runnin' our errands for the comfort that was in it.  This buyin' new furniture might be fun for some people but I hate what it's doin' to my bank balance.

  1. Does you new landlord have any beef with tenants smoking inside?

  2. I haven't asked, this bein' one of those "don't ask the wuestion if you can't stand the answer" sorta thangs. But this IS NM, where we have one of the highest COPD rates in the nation... I suspect I'm OK.

    That said, I normally smoke outside anyhoo, unless it's below freezing or hotter than Hades.

  3. I was wondering about the whole smoking issue at Golden Acres, being a retirement facility and all. Maybe y'all don't have as many do-gooders in New Mexico as in Louisiana where one of the hottest topics in the halls of the Legislature every year is the poor bartenders and wait staff who can't escape second-hand smoke in bars and casinos where smoking is still permitted.

  4. I hate furniture shopping because I can never find what I'm looking for because, "They quit makin' that."

    Prolly not, Moogie, based solely on relative population... but we have more than our share.

    Ivan: Yeah, I hear THAT.

Just be polite... that's all I ask.
