Beer Fox Laugh of the Week:

A three-legged dog walks into a saloon in the Old West. He slides up to the bar and announces: "I'm looking for the man who shot my paw."

Two vultures board an airplane, each carrying two dead raccoons. The stewardess looks at them and says, "I'm sorry, gentlemen, only one carrion allowed per passenger."

Birds are grouchy in the morning because their bills are over dew.

What's the difference between beer nuts and deer nuts? Beer Nuts are around a dollar seventy-nine, and deer nuts are just under a buck!

Beer News:

Owners Kevin Finn, Kevin Davies, and Mark Edelson plan to open five new locations in the next three years.

Craft Brew of the Week Award:

Hazelut Brown Nectar, Rogue Ales Brewery/Brewers on the Bay, Newport, Oregon

Style: American Brown Ale

Deep reddish walnut body lays dark and clear beneath a tight tan head. Seductive aromas of hazelnut and cocoa capture your attention, softly immersing you in sweet malt. Flavors of cocoa merge with a light fruitiness on the palate, richly accented with malt and nuts. Hops stay in the background, allowing the malt to hold attention, but assert themselves with a dry finish.

Superbly satisfying!

Cheers!
