Football's back!

Several years ago when I sold beer and wine for a Maryland distributor, I was told by the buyer for a beer/wine shop that she wouldn't be purchasing much beer for September ... because summer was over and it was no longer beer season.

Hmmm.

Just don't let the NFL know that with all those game-time TV beer commercials.

Just don't let craft beer enthusiasts know that, salivating as they are at the thought of all those soon-to-come Oktoberfests, stouts, winter warmers, barleywines.

So, today, for me, it's time for a Winter Storm Imperial ESB or an Otter Creek Cuckoo Bock (if I can find one) or a Legends Imperial Brown or a Victory Festbier or a .... you get the picture.

Hail to the Redskins! Hail, I'm ready for some football!

UPDATE: The Redskins defeated the Miami Dolphins in overtime, 16-13.
