Nugget Nectar? Really? In April?

Yikes! This blog is out-of-date!

I have several posts to make about things which have occurred over the past two or three weeks. (So much for the timeliness of blogging. I guess you still need to be able to have five freakin' minutes to yourself in order to post something up!?!)

Just one for now with more to follow:

I. Went to Westy's on Saturday. (This would be Saturday, April 21st for those keeping score.)

I ran up there with my buddy Jeff (the kindest and most generous friend in my arsenal) 'cause he wanted to buy me a sixtel of Sunshine Pils for dispensation at my birthday party.

We were planning to pick said sixtel up at the brewery, but due to scheduling conflicts we could not make the trip during regularly scheduled hours. So we found ourselves in the keg cooler at Westy's Beer Distributorship in Camp Hill. (You can take it from me, there are MUCH worse places to find yourself.) So we're in the cooler, right, and I'm all like, Jeff, dude, whatever beer shall I choose to purchase in addition to your sixth of Sunshine???

It just so happened, in our search through the forest of great beer in Westy's cooler, we found one lonely sixtel of Nugget Nectar that instantly found a place in my heart.

So I'm in the checkout line and the delightful girl behind the counter says to me: "You know that's a hot item you've got there?" (She is speaking of course of the keg of Nectar and not of my previously mentioned friend Jeff.) Then she proceeds to ask me where I found the keg and did I know they've been sold out of this beer for weeks?

I say yes, found it in the cooler, surprised to see it there at this late date, etc.

She says people are coming in all the time looking for NN and that perhaps she doesn't want to suggest that I do anything illegal, like...maybe open a speakeasy or something since this product is in high demand and not commercially available.

Sooooo, I have about a quarter of the sixtel left, if anyone is interested. Stop on in for a nice hoppy pint at the Blue Water Underground Private Club for the Underbeered, email me for details ;).

The point of this post is of course to boast of my good fortune (and the good fortune of those at my b-day party) at finding this renegade keg of Nugget Nectar at Westy's at the end of April.

More less goofy posts about actual shit to follow. Stay tuned.

Thank you folks. Good Night.
