Sierra Nevada Looking At Virginia. Still.

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Dec 31st, 2011 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

We’ve mentioned a number of times the ongoing search for an East Coast brewery site by Sierra Nevada Brewing Company. The considerations appear to be between a Virginia location and the Asheville, NC area. In November there was speculation that Virgini…



Would You Shop Here?

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Dec 31st, 2011 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Imagine this sign hanging on the door of a business. Good guys would be safe here. Bad guys not so much. That’s just the way it should be.

Contrast the business owner that would post that sign, with the management of Circle K stores. A Florida st…



Black Creek New Year’s Eve Eve

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Dec 30th, 2011 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Black Creek Steel Shooters held a special “Pre-New Year Match” today. I saw advance pictures of some of the stages posted on Facebook and decided it would be a fun match. And indeed, the stages proved to be both interesting and challenging. Thanks to…



Flying Dog Kujo, Here Boy

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Dec 29th, 2011 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

This is another look at a beer we’ve reviewed previously, sort of. A few weeks ago I posted a press release from Flying Dog Brewery about their “new” seasonal beer, Kujo. The name is new, the beer was previously released simply as Coffee Stout. Got i…



Mud Shooting

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Dec 28th, 2011 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

As noted previously, our planned range outing earlier this week didn’t happen due to the crowds at the range. As I’m taking a “stay-cation” this week I was able to try again a few days later. This time when I pulled in, I again noticed cars at all the …



Christmas Shooty Gifts!

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Dec 28th, 2011 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

It was a good holiday for new shooting booty. I was excited to see a CED 7000 Shot Timer under the tree from my wonderful wife. This was one of those “nice to have” things I’ve had my eye on for some time, but never really felt the need to buy. …



Bread and Butter Pudding with Hot Whiskey Sauce

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Dec 27th, 2011 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Here’s one of our favorite holiday desserts. After Colleen served it at one of our Christmas dinners this week, I realized I had to share with the readers of these Musings. The Hot Whiskey Sauce is practically drinkable on its own. We use Jameson Irish…



Sign Double-take

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Dec 27th, 2011 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I caught a glance of the sign as the automatic door slid open. I had to back up to confirm what I saw.

Okay, it wasn’t exactly what I thought, but attention getting none-the-less.

No Shooting Today

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Dec 26th, 2011 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

One of our plans for the Monday after Christmas was to get a little shooting in. We had a friend visiting for the day with that intent in mind as well. On our way to the range, we discussed how there might be a lot of folks trying out new guns they got…



Christmas Is Not Over

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Dec 26th, 2011 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Christmas is over? Hardly! It seems the world has forgotten that the Christmas season STARTS on December 25, it doesn’t END on that day. This great Feast celebrating the birth of Our Lord can’t be contained in just one day. The Chur…
