Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!

I do not know what it is about this stuff, but....

Got a local pastor from that area who was enamored with the stuff. Every time he goes that direction, or comes back from there, he has some and just yammers on, and on, and on, and on, and on, ad nauseam about how great the stuff is.

Personally, I think it is like Point Special was for me. I used to love it, still like to go back to it. I remember in college getting a case of 16oz bottles for $3.25. It was a great deal. We drank lots of it. But was it all that spectacular? I got some the other day, and it wasn't bad, but it certainly wasn't wonderful. I think it is the nostalgia of it that makes it great.

I remember Leinenkugel being a good beer too, but it was their specialty brews that set them apart. People still rave about them as excellent. I contend that since being purchased by a larger brew house, their different blends have become noticeably watered down - they in no way taste as they used to. People call me nuts, but I think they are stuck in their memories not in their taste buds. Either that, or my taste buds have changed (which is not outside the realm of reasonable possibilities).

Peace of the Lord be with you.
