Flying Dog Secret Stash Harvest Ale

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Oct 9th, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

What wonderful timing. I walk into the house, thinking I’d like something interesting to drink that evening, and then I spied a package on the porch from Flying Dog Brewery. “I hope it’s the Harvest Ale,” I thought. I was right! Typically I set brewery…



Fredericksburg USPSA Match

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Oct 7th, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Quick, check the calendar. Is it really October? It sure didn’t feel like it based on the 90° temps, and humidity to match, that we experienced at this “Fall” match on Sunday. Despite the unseasonably warm weather, the match was a lot of fun. Six fiel…



Six Years of Blogging

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Oct 6th, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Well, Musings Over a Pint is six years old today. I do appreciate all those who stop to read these musings. I certainly have enjoyed writing them, and I admit, I write mainly for my own entertainment. Last week I sat down and started looking through al…



Irish Music, Oktoberfest, and a Barrel Aged Beer

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Oct 5th, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

The email from Jeff at Blue & Gray warned that this might be the last weekend for the Baron von Steuben Oktoberfest seasonal. As noted a couple weeks ago, I hoped to get back to the brewery to enjoy it again, so we headed over to Blue & Gr…



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…



Dominion Octoberfest

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Oct 1st, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

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. …



Remembering Mom

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Sep 28th, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

It’s been three years now since my mom passed away. As cliché as it sounds to say, it doesn’t seem that long. That’s good, the memory of my mother is still fresh in my mind. I hope it stays that way.

The last day I spent with mom was just 10 days…



Range Time: It started out as fun

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Sep 27th, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

After being off the practice range for six weeks, I finally had a chance to get back out after work this afternoon. It’s getting harder to get over there with the shortening days of Fall. (Is it any wonder I don’t like Winter?)

I set up three USPS…



Heavy Seas, and Heavy Seas

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Sep 27th, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I’ve mentioned previously that I look for Heavy Seas beers when I travel outside of the Fredericksburg area. Heavy Seas, formerly Clipper City, is one of my favorite breweries, but sadly few of their beers are available locally. One of my most sought …
