"I'm just sitting here wasting time, drinking, smoking, trying
to free my mind. I want to be number one, yet I'm always last in
line. I just need a little inspiration, like a case of beer from
Schell s Nation, a little lubrication, that gives me the inspiration
to write for your relaxation . Copyrighted by me.
I'm laying the wisdom down before I even begin. Well,
let's roll. Here it is October already, Guzzle & Twirl is soon
upon us and this event will pass, like seed through a goose
or a beer past Bob Jackson s lips, it goes that fast! I m
guessing Guzzle will be over by the time you read this. I can guarantee you (Pre-Guzzle or Pee-Guzzle))
that I had a great time. The Mankato show is soon here also, this will be the 2nd year at Kato Brewing, the
first one was a rousing success and I'm sure this year will be no different.
Since Summer is but a fond memory already, I think I'll do a review of some of our travels these past few
months. We usually bring our bicycles with, find some paved trails and after a nice ride, (or some hiking) hit
some beery places to relax. Here is short list of the Breweries/ Taprooms we have visited in Minnesota THIS
YEAR!! They have all quenched our post ride
thirst quite well !!
