Halloween night
Pretty slow in Roxborough. So far, I’ve had exactly two kids pound on the door (I’m handing out M&M’s). That’s equal to the number of stink bugs I found crawling on the living room wall this afternoon. Yawn…
Thankfully, UPS delivered a case to my door today (even though the LCB still insists it’s illegal and Brown insists it doesn’t ship beer in the state). It was packed with two different HeBrew 12-ouncers, which don’t turn me on much, plus two I’d never encountered before: Monkshine Belgian Style Pale Ale from Four+Brewing, and King’s Peak Porter from Uinta Brewing. Both are Salt Lake City breweries. Not too shabby and I’m glad I’m getting a chance to taste ‘em. You’d think the Mormon state’s brews would be about as exciting as Mitt Romney since state law considers anything over 4.0% ABV as “liquor.” But when I was out in Denver for the Great American Beer Festival, everyone was talking about another Utah brewery, Redrock, which took home five medals and was named Large Brewpub of the Year. Unfortunately, by the time I got over to their table at the GABF, all their beer was gone.
OK, I’m going to give the trick-or-treaters another 30 minutes, then I’m heading down to Old Eagle.
