Oh Well! It’s a Post!

Posted on February 23, 2023 by mohawkvalleygirl

It seems that I am in a time warp. I logged on to WordPress thinking “Throwback Thursday. I’ll make a Throwback Thursday Post.” It was not until I looked at my previous posts for the week that I remembered: it’s Wednesday! What the hell, me? Earlier today I knew it was Wednesday. Furthermore, I am well aware that tomorrow is NOT Friday. Sometimes I wonder about myself.

At least it isn’t Tuesday. Or is it?

All is not lost, I tell myself (although why I should listen to myself when I am clearly an unreliable source I do not know): I can have a Way Back Wednesday Post (should Way Back be one or two words?).

Cheers!

Going back a few years to December 2019, here is my sweet husband, Steven, at Fratello’s Pizzeria in Frankfort, NY. That is Phil Arcuri in the background. I would have liked to go to Fratello’s tonight, but I called and found out there was no music. I know, I could have gone anyways for the food, but I decided against it.

Why not another picture of Steve?

I had to look through some previous posts to rememberwhere this picture was taken. It is Beer Belly Bob’s in Ilion, where Red Shed Brewery of Cooperstown and Cherry Valley was doing a tasting. I recently saw their tap room in Cherry Valley and said, “Ooh, I have to go there!” This could be a sign I should do it soon (preview of coming attractions).

Now my post is in a time warp. Way Back or Coming Attractions? Oh well, it’s a post.

On a recent Friday evening, Steven and I ventured out to Beer Belly Bob’s in Ilion, NY. They don’t have tastings every week, so we were happy we saw this one on Facebook. When we realized it was for an area brewery, we were delighted. I am happy to recommend Red Shed Brewery of Cherry Valley and Cooperstown.

As we walked in, one of the other people tasting said, “She’ll write an article about you!” I felt famous.

Red Shed would definitely be a good thing for me to write about for Mohawk Valley Living magazine, but I want to visit one of their tap rooms first. For now I will content myself with a blog post. David Olson, the man pouring gave me a card, and I have already visited their Facebook page. I hope to make a trip to Cooperstown soon!

David Olson, one of the folks responsible for some yummy beer.

The first brew we tried was Jessica’s Red. It won my ultimate accolade of “yummy.” We went on to Cloudy Girl, which was very fruity. I did not like it as much as Jessica’s Red, but thought it would be a good summer drink. The Smoked Porter was heavy, smoky (of course), and very dark It was tasty, but I could not drink a lot of it.

Steven, enjoying a taste.

Red Shed is only available on draft right now, but we were able to purchase a growler for a very good price.
