Aviation Beer

Okay, since no one seems to be flying much, we might as well talk
about something truly important...like beer.

Mary just picked up a 6-pack of "Major Tom's Pomegranate Wheat" ale
from the store. Why?

Well, because it has a biplane on the container, of course! (Gotta
love her taste in beer... ;-) It appears to be a Stearman, but the
cockpit has a turtle-deck, so that's not quite right...

But I digress.

As I'm sitting her supping it (and it's quite good, actually, although
I'm not sure that "pomegranate juice" has any business in beer), I
started to think about all the "aviation beers" I've imbibed over the
years.

For some strange reason, brewers -- especially microbrewers -- seem to
be enamored with aviation. Can you name any of your local "aviation
ales"?

Better yet, can you bring any of them to the "Rec.Aviation H.O.P.S.
Party" at our campsite during Oshkosh, for all to enjoy?

Be careful. Some counties, like the one I live
in, are "zero-tolerance." There is NO legal BAC.

Which means that even one beer, regardless of the
effects on your driving, count as a DUI.

I saw Aviator's Gin at Bev Mo, two weeks later I saw a bottle at
Sacramento Skyranch aircraft parts supplier. They had even provided
FAA paperwork for it.

There's Warbird Ale from Indiana, brewed by a T-6 owner. It really wasn't
too bad!

I agree that talking about beer is preferable to inane questions about
mythological autopilots, and much more fun.

If you ever get off your ass and fly somewhere good instead of one flat
land airport after another you can fly to this place. He doesn't update
his website hardly ever but his beer can be found around here plus he's
an airplane nut.

.............probably a Grumman Agcat Jay. Sounds like it might be anyway.
Nothing like a cold one after a long hard day dusting an alphalfa field and
breathing in all that Malithion!! :-)))

At MUC there is Airbrau that has very good beer. I have a 5 liter
bottle with a plop-top that I brought back. In Feldkirchen outside of
Munich there is Fliegerbrau. They have very nice Weissbier glasses that
I bought. The inside has some radio controlled airplanes and some other
random stuff.

In Oakland there is Hanger One Vodka. Never been there but I have to
make the trip one day.

please. g

Thank you.

Never forget the fighter pilots rule about drinking and flying.
"Never drink and fly. Pull off to the side of the taxiway and drink, THEN go
fly!!"

So, did you think I was posting from my car?

Let me get this straight: You have NO legal blood alchohol level where
you live? A glass of wine with dinner is now completely illegal in
your county?

That's sickening.

This crazy, never-ending expansion of the "Nanny Society" will
apparently never be complete, until every last one of our freedoms has
been taken away. They've driven the smokers out into the cold, so now
they're looking for some other "threat" to address. All in the name
of "the greater good".

Soon, we won't be able to go for a walk after dinner without complying
with a mandatory helmet law...
