The Elusive Blue Mountain Oktoberfest

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Oct 3rd, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

A few weeks ago when we visited Blue Mountain Brewery, I was disappointed they were out of their Oktoberfest beer. Then, last week, Park Lane Tavern was advertising a Steal the Glass event featuring the beer, so I planned to try again for a taste. Shor…

While doing out grocery shopping this weekend, I checked the beer aisle for any Oktoberfest beers still in stock. After enjoying the Oktoberfest beer at Blue & Gray’s celebration last weekend, I was in the mood for some more Märzen style beers. …

Colleen was out of town this weekend catching up with friends from college, and our son was spending Saturday with friends doing airsoft. So what’s a guy to do when left to his own devices? The 11th Annual Fredericksburg Oktoberfest at Blue & Gray …



The Starbucks Kerfuffle

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Sep 22nd, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

There’s been a lot of chatter in the past week on the recent Starbucks statement on guns in their stores. I’ve read much discussion, from both the anti-freedom forces as well as the differences of opinion from gun rights advocates. I delayed posting to…



Plumbed for Beer

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Sep 21st, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

With friends like this, it’s never a dull day.
