Chip the Beer Guy is back with a potentially awesome summer beer, RJ Rockers' Son of a Peach. I sure hope it's better than the Dogfish Head Festina Peche I had over the weekend.

Beers I Tried This Weekend...
Picked up a six pack of Leinenkugel's Fireside Nut Brown on Friday night. I love brown ales and this was good...but there's something about Leines that after like 2 or 3, I lose all taste for them.
Then on Sunday I tried a few new ones in a Wegman's variety pack:
Not sure what's on tap (no pun intended) for Thanksgiving. I'll keep everyone posted!
Then on Sunday I tried a few new ones in a Wegman's variety pack:
- Harpoon Winter Warmer (Good)
- Blue Point Toasted Lager (Better)
- Michelob Ultra Amber (Don't know what I was thinking)
- Scrimshaw Pilsner (Decent)

NT3's Favorite Fall Beers
Smell that? No, not that! (Though I did eat chili for lunch...) It's the smell of fall in the air. Leaves changing color, a cool breeze blowing, football on television, and of course FALL BEERS. This is my favorite time of year for beer with some of the best specialty beers popping up all over. It seems like every brewery has an Oktoberfest variety or a pumpkin variety these days and some even have both! Thankfully I've tried quite a few and I'm here to tell you the essentials.
Samuel Adams Octoberfest
The quintessential "Oktoberfest" beer by America's leading microbrewers. Dark, full, rich, and delicious - this is a must have from September through November for me. Plus you can get it almost anywhere these days, which means there's always a delicious fall beer close at hand.
Jack's Pumpkin Spice Ale
By far the best offering in Michelob's seasonal collection, Jack's is the perfect autumn session beer. Drinkable for everyone, it's a great introduction to pumpkin beers without having that "pumpkin pie in a bottle" flavor that can often times be too overpowering. So perfect for fall football Sundays.
Dogfishhead Punkin Ale
For the more experienced drinker is this premium fall beer. Smoky, spicy, and full of great autumn flavor, this beer isn't for everyone but if you love pumpkin beer you'll love this.
Breaker Potbelly Pumpkin Ale
Awesome awesome fall beer from the small Breaker Brewery. This is a little darker and heavier than the others and is a great late fall choice. It's only available on tap which is kind of tragic, actually, because this is the perfect accompaniment to Thanksgiving dinner.
Buffalo Bill's Pumpkin Ale
From California, this is one of the nation's original pumpkin beers (or so they claim!) It's sort of similar to the Sea Dog Apricot in that it tastes a lot like pumpkin but isn't overpoweringly fruity. It's sort of a "refreshing" fall beer, if that makes any sense. Different and definitely worth a try. Just note that I've had a heck of a hard time finding it this season.
So there you have it. What are you waiting for? Head on out to the distributor, grocery store, or neighborhood tavern and give these puppies a shot! Fall won't last forever, you know!

Beer Distributor Shooting
http://newsfeed.time.com/2010/08/03/eight-dead-in-shooting-at-beer-distributor-in-connecticut/
Not that we would ever try to make light of such a tragic situation...but I have to admit that I've been faced with an urge to shoot up a beer distributor a few times when I went in and saw someone buying Miller Lite.
