Oswego Brewing Company
So I got up this morning and Dad mentioned that there was a new brewery opening today in Oswego. I told him I already knew about it and asked him if he’d want to go. Dad said sure. Now, if you know Dad, he isn’t the beer connoisseur I am so I wondered what piqued…

Labatt Brewery, London, Ontario
I had the opportunity to visit the Labatt flagship brewery the other day. It was a bit sad because they pushed Budweiser products and were packaging Budweiser products – not the beer that they were known for. Labatt is an older brewery having been in London since 1847…quite a long stretch. The current brewery is…

Wolff’s Biergarten and Wurst Haus
I had to be in Troy for a wake of a friend’s father. Since I usually am not in the Albany area on a weeknight I decided to mosey on over to a place I wanted to try for a while. I had originally found Wolff’s when I was here on my training/house hunting journeys…but…

Racing City Brewing Company
It is no secret that I am a fan of the local beer scene…there are over 393 breweries in New York, the most since 1876 (Dad remembers that well, right?) You may recall that last January the Olde Saratoga Brewing Company went under. Well, a new brewery opened up just a minute down the street…

MASS MoCA
I have always wanted to visit MASS MoCA since I’ve been out here but never had the chance. For those of you who are wondering, I’m talking about the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, which currently is the largest Contemporary Art museum in the United States. It is about a quarter the size of the…

Albany Tulips
Well, it appears that my hopes to photograph the beautiful tulips in Albany isn’t going to work out. Yup, you guessed it, it started to rain. Oh well…I did get a few pictures before the storm. The first picture, well, doesn’t have tulips but I really liked the blooms on the tree. This set of…

Albany River Rats
Yesterday was the last Albany River Rat’s night at the Times Union Center. I can’t believe in less than a month 24 years of AHL hockey in Albany will be over. The River Rats were the franchise that was here originally, well before my time. Orginally affiliated with the New Jersey Devils, they switched affiliations…

My First Trip to the Bronx(ville)
Ok, so the title is a bit misleading. I didn’t quite make it to the Bronx but I did make it to Bronxville. My churches district headquarters is there and had a conference of workshops. If you know a bit about me, you’ll know that the Bishop and I go back a ways (which is…

Beyond the Museums
As you already have read, I traveled out to Springfield this past weekend. While I love Doctor Seuss (he is from Springfield and was a Lutheran and it was his birthday), I just couldn’t pass the opportunity to visit a brewery I discovered in December. So after leaving the museums, I embarked on a journey to find the famed…
