and the pumpkins can’t be far behind.

*Sigh* I just don’t know if I’m ready yet. Usually I love this time of year – cooler weather, turning leaves, more beer festivals than one can keep up with – and the annual harbingers of this season are the Oktoberfest and pumpkin beers that start hitting the shelves around now.

Celeste and I went out to eat tonight. When the waiter asked for our drinks order I asked what seasonal they had on tap. He cheerfully told me that they had just hooked up a Sam Adams Oktoberfest today.

I had one but just didn’t enjoy it like I have in past years. It’s a good example of the style but it was just kind of sweet and uninteresting to me tonight.

Luckily I had a six pack of Two Hearted Ale waiting for me in the refrigerator back home.
