It's Friday and I was in a conference room for the entire day, so I'll dispense with the silliness and get down to business. Tonight's beer is a great summer time choice, the St-Ambroise from Brasserie McAuslan in Quebec. This beer shows off a clear golden color, with aromas of apricot and summer time. It has a clean taste, with clear notes of real apricot flavor. One of the risks with fruit beers is that overly-artificial flavor, but you're safe here. Very real, and quite nice on a nice summer night. Find it? Drink it.

In case you're wondering about the beer name, this brewery is located on St. Ambroise street in Montreal, Quebec, and has been brewing craft beer since 1989. Now you know.
Thing to Think About Today:
Students are returning back to college campuses this weekend, which always makes me think fondly back to my annual arrival in State College for another semester of class. Let's go ahead and weave Canada into this post along with some memories of freshman year. Obviously, I'm talking about the Crash Test Dummies here. These guys were one hit wonders with their smash (?) hit Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm. Maybe not the most popular song from freshman year, but the lead singer of this band was the long lost twin brother of the RA on my dorm floor freshman year. So much so, that we dubbed him "Dan Test Dummies" for his totally 90's straight, grunge-y, long hairdo. Dan Test Dummies was okay in my book, as he completely looked the other way when he would walk into our room and see us doing something absolutely, positively against dorm policies, such as our floor to ceiling stack of beer cases (the spoils of war from a raid on a rival fraternity's basement) or the perpetually in the mini-fridge pitcher of Great Bluedini flavor Kool-Aid and whatever hard liquor we could score. Dan Test Dummies was good like that, but that might be because he was stoned pretty much around the clock. Here's to all dorm RA's being good people, and here's good luck to the incoming freshman. You might need it. And if anyone can find me a packet of Great Bluedini, I'll bring the Vladimir brand vodka. Just like the old days...
