 Dragline: Nothin’. A handful of nothin’. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin’. Just like today when he kept comin’ back at me – with nothin’.
Luke:Yeah, well, sometimes nothin’ can be a real cool hand.

I just wanted to throw in my favorite quote from one of my favorite Paul Newman movies. I will have to throw in a George Carlin quote sometime soon to honor him.

Here are some of the big events in Michigan beer this week. Sorry, I missed last week. The computer was in a small dark room in our house so I decided to move it downstairs. That way, I can be next to my ladies while working on the blog. Feel free to add anything I forget.

Tuesday, September 30th at The Copper Canyon Brewery:  CCB proudly presents Rocktoberfest an Oktoberfest too big and too special to just call an Oktoberfest. This is a Dopple-Marzen. It is smooth and strong at 8.5%abv (oops my bad). Come on by and try this malty behemoth, you WILL enjoy it.
