Hey, can you find Rush beer?! They did a limited run. Sorry, it is late, I should just be quiet and go to bed!
Dinner looks very good!
That’s Soda pop you know- you’d call it just soda I think. We call it pop. No alcohol but it does mix well with rye whisky or is it whiskey? I can never keep those straight. Well, I can drink it straight, but… never mind
I was tired when I posted and didn't take the time to show Alan what I was talking about! Canada Dry is our preferred soda in this household! I grew up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula (the UP, making me a Yooper!), and we called everything pop. Moving to Maine in 2000, I had to learn to call is soda, as I was teaching high school at the time and the students thought it was so funny when I used pop! I also had to learn that tennis shoes out here are called sneakers, and many Mainers refer to hamburger as hamburg. I travelled for two days through Ontario and Quebec back then while moving, and still miss pommes frites!
The Rush beer I was referring to was recently commissioned by the band, allegedly due to a joke the bass player, Geddy Lee, made in 2015 backstage when they were served a limited edition beer with another rock band's name, and Geddy said, "why don't we have Rush beer?"
Thus, in collaboration with
Henderson Brewing, Rush beer premiered last month! We can't get it, and I can't convince my wife to make a road trip to Montreal for a can of beer!!
