Lakemaid beer drone goes flat.

The Federal Aviation Administration has used its authority to shut down technology that helps people live better. The increased quality of life in small towns has been thwarted by ‘the system’ as the FAA grounds the Lakemaid Beer drone delivery program in Wisconsin. Does this move say that capitalism is not for everyone?

You can see the drone in action by going to see the following YouTube video.

You can read all about the perceived issues the FAA has but in reality it seems that Lakemaid Beer has a great idea and this program would be a good beta test for the Amazon delivery drone development plan. Or maybe Amazon has something to do with the demise of the Lakemaid program? Stuff to think about as the hands of the clock get closer to happy hour. Prost.

Good on Ninkasi Brewing for art support.

Society needs to recognize that the creative craft brewing folks at Ninkasi Brewing in Eugene, Oregon have been doing a great job not only brewing fine IPA beers, but with their success, they are also giving back to the world in note worthy ways. Read on.

I’m not going into details here, but you can certainly read about how cool the folks at Ninkasi Brewing are at the above or below links.  As a beer drinking, guitar/bass plucking, drum beating, bad singing song writer with bad hair that can make a quality music video, I personally wanted to take the time this holiday season to say ‘thank you’ for what you all do at Ninkasi. More folks should use this business model. Maximum respect Ninkasi.

Keep up the good work Team Ninkasi. Cheers.

This place is cool.  Not all crowded like the Russian River bar.  Third Street Aleworks has a cool staff, good beers and they also make a good pizza.

The Dude of Food went to visit the crew at St. Florian’s Brewery.

The place is staffed with good people and had many diverse beers to choose from.

I liked the IPA’s best and want to add this brand to my food portfolio for the world markets.
