Only good beer need apply. My usual is Saranac
http://www.saranac.com
It's the oldest brewery in NY, second oldest in the country (next to Juengling). They still follow the German Purity Laws for their brews. I live about 20 minutes from them.

Ooh, you from NY? Never been a huge fan of theirs. NY beer -- Troy Pub in Troy NY brews some decent stuff; and makes a mean plate of nachos. Or at least they used to.

Yeah, upstate. Rome, site of the former Griffiss AFB. It's a business park now, and still home of a branch of the AF Research Lab. I retired from the AF here a few years back, now an evil contractor.
Can't say I've been anywhere in Troy, though there's a great brewpub in Albany I used to visit now & again when my brother-in-law lived there. Really I've been around the world and no place I've been offered beer that was much (if any) better than the Saranac labels. I'm especially fond of their Black & Tan--though I'll admit I'll accept a Bass/Guinness version and be glad of it.

Another looong day over...
How's y'all?

I'm "working at home" nursing a cranky tired husband.
I grew up under the initial approach point for Griffiss AFB -- town call East Springfield, NY. Population 55. Remember it well when they closed it.

Thought it sounded familiar. Otsego Lake area's one of our day trip getaways.

Probably driven right past my old house. It is a small world. I'm stuck. Spent the day writing Chapter 7; well after doing my real work. I'm stuck -- need a segueway. Not the gyro based vehicle either.
