Another Quick Range Trip

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Apr 20th, 2018 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Depending on traffic, it’s a 45 minute or more drive to the indoor range. The more I make the trip, the less onerous it seems. Still, sometimes I have to wonder if the 30 – 40 minutes spent shooting is worth it. Then I get to the range and start shooti…

Take A Gun Owner to the Range

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Apr 16th, 2018 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Taking a new shooter to the range is a great way to convert law-abiding citizens into gun owners. Most shooters very much enjoy taking new shooters to the range. I’ve introduced a number of folks to the fun of shooting, and to the armed lifestyle. In f…



More Practice at the Range

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Apr 14th, 2018 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

After the exciting Virginia Indoor Regional last weekend, I was anxious to get back to the range for more practice. Family and work commitments finally allowed that to happen on Thursday. I’d been dedicating a lot of range time the last couple months t…



Fastest Growing Virginia Breweries

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Apr 13th, 2018 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

The Brewers Association has tabulated the 50 fastest growing small and independent craft breweries. Three Virginia breweries made the list.

Vanish Farmwoods Brewery in Leesburg, Virginia, ranks No. 25 on the list of 50 fastest-growing craft brewers in 2017.

Vanish Farmwoods grew to 62 employees in the two years since it opened, and it says it is adding more production capacity and a barrel-aging facility to its farm.

“One of the things that is significant for us is that over 90 percent of our beer sales is consumed on-site in our farm tasting room instead of through distribution,” said Vanish Farmwoods owner Jonathan Staples.

Vanish Farmwoods is on a 61-acre farm and has two separate tap rooms, three indoor bars and one outdoor bar. It also has more than 30 taps and live music on weekends.

Big Lick Brewing Co. in Roanoke, Virginia, is No. 45.

Fair Winds Brewing Co. in Lorton, Virginia, is No. 47.

Sadly, I’ve never visited any of these breweries. Although I have enjoyed some beers from Fair Winds  at local pubs. Looks like my “to do” list just got longer.

See “3 Virginia craft brewers among 50 fastest-growing” for more.

If You Need a Laugh on Monday

“Kirkland Light! Available in 48 packs where you buy your pants!”

Randy Colpek loves his Kirkland Light beer from Costco.

Budweiser has its Clydesdales, Corona has its beaches, and Dos Equis has its Most Interesting Man Alive. But Kirkland Light Beer, Costco’s very own house brew, has Randy Colpek. And Randy Colpek is a beer-drinking force to be reckoned with.

By his estimate, Randy Colpek drinks 18 cans of Kirkland Light Beer a day, five days a week. Last time he tried to haul his cans of Kirkland Light Beer to the recycling center, he exceeded the 100-pound limit. He is—and I’m not sure this phrase has never been used before—a diehard Kirkland Light Beer fan boy.

Warning: Language.

See “Area Hero Gets Drunk, Makes His Own Genius Commercials for Costco Beer.”
