Quantico USPSA Match – Gunfire and Cicadas

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Jun 10th, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

It was a tough weekend for practical shooters in the area. I know of two matches that had to be cancelled due to poor range conditions from the heavy rains last week. Fortunately, I had signed up for the Quantico Shooting Club match, which came of…



More Beer, More Mad Fox

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Jun 8th, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

We spent another Saturday morning in NoVA while our son finished his Life Guard certification classes, so we killed the time doing “beer stuff.” First stop, Norm’s Beer & Wine in Vienna. I always feel like a kid in a candy store when I’m at this st…

A Grand Master duel.

And I was thrilled just to get the gun out of the holster in .7 seconds.

Who knew that Manassas was becoming such a hot bed of brewing? In addition to BadWolf Brewing, which we recently visited, there’s another craft brewery setting up a Manassas, VA base.

Heritage Brewing Company is planning a Fall 2013 opening for thei…



Face Plant Delight

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

As noted previously, we picked up a six pack of Lost Rhino Face Place IPA when we visited the brewery last weekend. I couldn’t resist it long, so Colleen and I cracked a couple open the other evening.

The beer pours a hazy, dark amber color. It’s a …



No-Shoot Practice

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

Just for grins, this week’s range session was devoted to “no-shoots.” We often joke that the no-shoot targets are bullet magnets. And I seem to hit my fair share of them, so I decided to practice not hitting them. Stated more accurately, I decided to p…



Lost Rhino Brewery

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

Despite the GPS in my car seemingly working against us, we found the Ashburn, VA industrial park where Lost Rhino Brewing calls home. As we pulled around the corner, I could see a steady stream of folks going in and out, most all carrying growlers. Los…

From the Melbourne Heritage Sun:

WANGARATTA’S backyard beer swillers are marvelling at the magic of their chillers after one man’s fridge played havoc with Telstra’s mobile network. 

The faulty unit shooting out freak electric signals was believ…



Spring Opening For BadWolf Brewing

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

After our extended visit at Mad Fox in Falls Church, we headed west to Manassas to meet up with Jeremy Myers at BadWolf Brewing. (No, I didn’t plan the canine theme.) BadWolf is Manassas’ first brewery. Between the necessary lingering at Mad Fox, and t…



Mad Fox: Perfect For a “Non-Productive Afternoon”

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Jun 2nd, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

While spending the weekend in NoVA, we headed out for an early lunch as Mad Fox Brewing in Falls Church. We arrived about 11:30 for an early lunch and got right to work on enjoying some of the house beers. (After all, it’s noon somewhere.) I had receiv…
