Happy Birthday Mom ?

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Mar 11th, 2014 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I wish I could say that to you in person. I long to feel another of your “mom bear” hugs, the ones that always seemed to last just a little too long. But they were never long enough really. I miss you everyday, but I know you are at peace, and that rep…



It Was a Dark and “Stouty” Night

Making my regular review of local pubs’ Facebook pages last Friday, I noticed that Capital Ale House had two selections from their “Ales From the Crypt” cellared beer series, Stone Russian Imperial Stout and Stone Russian Imperial Stout with Espresso, …



Short Sleeves At the Range

There were still piles of snow scattered about, but the sun was shining brightly when I set up at the range on Saturday. Despite the car thermometer reporting 63 degrees, I was the surprisingly the only one there, other than a lone fisherman across the…



That’s Just Low

A Bedford County, PA man was a victim of a burglary recently, the thieves leaving with several antique firearms. As if that loss wasn’t enough, before the thieves made off with the guns, they helped themselves to a case of the man’s beer.Someone b…



Bergers and Beer

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Mar 4th, 2014 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Yes, I spelled that headline correctly. I celebrated Fat Tuesday with a beer and Baltimore’s iconic Berger Cookies. I grew up enjoying these decadent delights, picked up fresh-baked at Lexington Market, and they are a fond, and tasty, memory. To my del…



The Beer Menu Matters Too

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Mar 4th, 2014 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I was looking forward to hitting my favorite brewpub last Friday evening. Apparently, so was the rest of the town. When we pulled up, cars were backed up onto the street just trying to get into the parking lot. Apparently the “Mardi Gras” menu was…

Last week, on the Feast of St. Gabriel Possenti, I received the graphic below from Miguel over at Gun Free Zone. We had just returned from a long afternoon spent on the range in honor of the Patron Saint of Handgunners, and I found the messag…



Range Time for a Saint

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Mar 1st, 2014 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

On the Feast of St. Gabriel Possenti, we planned a pilgrimage of sorts to the range. Despite the warm temperatures earlier in the week, Thursday turned out to be quite chilly. That doesn’t stop us!  We started out on the rifle range, and despite h…

Heritage Brewing Kings Mountain

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Feb 28th, 2014 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

As we waited for a few seats to open at the Capital Ale House bar earlier this week, I perused the tap line and noted a tap for another Heritage Brewing beer, Kings Mountain. I had missed this one last week. As I finally took my seat, the conversa…
