We’re about halfway through summer, which Jim points out has become the de-facto Summer of Beer given the number of beers we’ve reviewed. And Jim is recently back from his annual vintage base ball trek to Sackets Harbor, NY with yet another brew: Railroad Red from the Sackets Brewing Co.

Jim first enjoyed this fine amber long ago during an early visit to Sackets Harbor, but has been unable to score another taste since… until now! We relish its somewhat chocolaty nose, the slightly nutty flavor, and mildly sweet finish.

Grab some bench and join us this mid-summer eve as we toast Bill’s surprise birthday party, Jim’s Mom’s 86th birthday, our friends in Sackets Harbor, and the upcoming National Silver Ball Vintage Base Ball Tournament!
