Raise a glass to C.H. Evans Brewing Company's Kick Ass Brown. The signature brew from The Albany Pump Station picked up a gold medal this weekend in a national competition at The Great American Beer Festival in Denver. The Olde Saratoga Brewing Company picked up a silver. Cheers.

A pint of Kick Ass Brown and an order of fish & chips at the Pump Station is seriously the best lunch I've ever had in the capital region. And trust me, I throw a pretty mean picnic.

i feel like a bad person for saying that their beer gives me a headache. i had a glass of that brown ale last week and it was delicious, but a few hours later the headache arrived.
you know what? that happens a lot after i drink just one microbrew. someone once told me it had to do with something i can't remember (not because of an excess of beer). perhaps a shorter brewing time? hmm.
