Fruit does not belong in beer or ale. (I acknowledge that Blueberry is BBW's perennial best seller. It arrived, according to brewmaster Herb, as whim and nod to the secretarial types who came after work to the Canal Street joint. It has become the BIG one for their beaux as well.)

And the Belgians with their cherry and berry crap can rot in another corner.

That's what Trefethen Vineyards called their White Zin in 1990. They made fun of it, but then pointed out on their tour all that it was allowing them to build and grow, following up with some of the fine varietals that it bankrolled.

Shipyard Brewery has a beautiful waterfront taproom and restaurant in Kennebunkport, ME. They will tell you that it is the house that Shipyard Pumpkin built - it is their Chateau Cashflow. Then you can enjoy a full palette of brews that are nothing like it, finely crafted, and great to drink in a lovely space with good food and a breeze off the water.

If you don't like it, let others drink it. And enjoy the fruits of its success in other ways.

Been there, it's great. I was hoping to see "W" there and thank him for his eight years in office.

His father and mother, on the other hand, are celebrated citizens. https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2017/07/03/bush-kennebunkport-the-town...

Had to question Jeb's judgement - his mother's family home was inundated in 1991, but he built his family lodge at a lower elevation.

Time then for the long version of H.L.Mencken's observation, "No one in this world, so far as I know—and I have researched the records for years, and employed agents to help me—has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby."

... the grapefruit version. I like (well, love actually) hot peppers -- but don't know if I want them in my beer...

after the 4th weekend, its been about a month of hot weather. I fully expect to overhear people complaining about the heat, missing "cozy" clothing, their ugg boots, and pumpkin-spice everything. New Englanders are never happy unless its miserable out.

Next up - Christmas decorations at CVS.

(Don't get me wrong, love the Shipyard Pumpkin, but this season creep by Marketing Weasels is making me a tad cranky...)

AND GET OFF MY LAWN!
