Let's talk good beer

[Giantone]

Okay ,so I have told you about how I go up to the Berkshires in Mass usually in the fall for a few days (4/5) and tend to try a bunch of beers and bring home a few.Well Saturday night I got an idea and by Sunday morning I was gone. I drove to Mass ,yes all on a whim! Son in-law got back from deployment and has always loved the beer I bring back but knows it's always in the fall. So for Christmas ...from ... me , I am giving him a case of the special beer I get and bring back, 7 hours up and I spent the night at my favorite Inn up there waited till 9 am for the store to open and bought three case's. Took about 6 1/2 hours back to Maryland( I rolled) plus I got him a couple of special "pint glass's ) to enjoy his beverages! The wife can not understand how I could spend roughly 17/16 hours driving ,over $400 dollars for room ,food and gas and over another hundred for the beer,just to buy this beer .She asked why I couldn't just go to the liquor store and get beer and I LOL and said ,NO..Anyway it was a great 48 hours!Berkshires had a good 6-10 inches depending on where you were but it might be gone by now,it was 47 up there.
