Default Aviation Beer

If you ever get off your ass and fly somewhere good instead of one flat
land airport after another you can fly to this place. He doesn't update
his website hardly ever but his beer can be found around here plus he's
an airplane nut.

Mary just picked up a 6-pack of "Major Tom's Pomegranate Wheat" ale
from the store. Why?

Well, because it has a biplane on the container, of course! (Gotta
love her taste in beer... ;-) It appears to be a Stearman, but the
cockpit has a turtle-deck, so that's not quite right...

But I digress.

As I'm sitting her supping it (and it's quite good, actually, although
I'm not sure that "pomegranate juice" has any business in beer), I
started to think about all the "aviation beers" I've imbibed over the
years.

For some strange reason, brewers -- especially microbrewers -- seem to
be enamored with aviation. Can you name any of your local "aviation
ales"?

Better yet, can you bring any of them to the "Rec.Aviation H.O.P.S.
Party" at our campsite during Oshkosh, for all to enjoy?

A six-pack of Tri-Motor Amber, on your next trip to ANE, if you would
please. g

Thank you.

Never forget the fighter pilots rule about drinking and flying.
"Never drink and fly. Pull off to the side of the taxiway and drink, THEN go
fly!!"

I will look for that around here. A good trade off for a hangar search
service.

Fly into an area with that many blithering idiots? I think not. Maybe
someday. More important things to do around here at that time.

Fly into ANE, then hitch a ride in the airplane of minivans.

That way you only have to deal with one blithering idiot - for 6 hours!!!

I stop a lot. :-)

Who I had to supply with beer? I look at Oshkosh and yawn. I'd rather
be flying in the mountains. Hell, I just bought a boat. I'd rather
take that out. I grew up in the Twin Cities. No way I want to walk
around OSH all day and then sleep in a tent. Now if somebody had an RV,
maybe. Plans are firming up for ANE, looks like we'll be there about
July 8th for a week. I'll let you know for sure later.

.............probably a Grumman Agcat Jay. Sounds like it might be anyway.
Nothing like a cold one after a long hard day dusting an alphalfa field and
breathing in all that Malithion!! :-)))

At MUC there is Airbrau that has very good beer. I have a 5 liter
bottle with a plop-top that I brought back. In Feldkirchen outside of
Munich there is Fliegerbrau. They have very nice Weissbier glasses that
I bought. The inside has some radio controlled airplanes and some other
random stuff.

In Oakland there is Hanger One Vodka. Never been there but I have to
make the trip one day.
