My local Stop and Shop has a great beer section. They also have a roll-your-own six pack for $10.99. So, I took four Oktoberfests (Sam Adams the only one that uses "C"), a Shiner Bock and a Sam Adams Cherry Wheat. I am looking forward to Sierra Nevada and Brooklyn Oktoberfests.
Saw Black Mass, a little slow but Johnny Depp is amazing.
Saw coming attraction for new Kray Brothers biopic.
Of course, memories of the Piranha Brothers returned:
Vercotti: Doug (takes a drink) Well, I was terrified. Everyone was terrified of Doug. I've seen grown men pull their own heads off rather than see Doug. Even Dinsdale was frightened of Doug.
Oktoberfest has begun and will be in gear until October 6.
I started on the opening this past Saturday, September 21st, with a Sam Adams Octoberfest on tap. They spell it with a "C." Very tasty, will now look for Spaten and Brooklyn Oktoberfest on tap
Oktoberfest typically begins in late September. This year it runs from September 18th to October 3rd, 2010.
To celebrate Oktoberfest, the Sam Adams Harvest Collection.
The beers are interesting and tasty. The bottled Sam Adams Oktoberfest is better than the tap version, a rare event. The tap is very good but the bottle has more flavor.
Michael Lewis is always interesting, so I will see what he has to say about the last financial collapse. His latest article in Vanity Fair about Greece: Beware of Greeks Bearing Bonds is required reading.
Picked this one up from the Queens Library. Great book, all about Heuristics which are cognitive rules of thumb, hard-wired mental shortcuts that everyone uses every day in routine decision-making and judgment.
This book offers a quick tour of such topics as: familiarity heuristic;acceptance heuristic and default heuristic or consistency heuristic. The introduction cites to Avalanche victims and the poor decisions that were made: First Paper and Second Paper.
