DOW (Drinks of the Week) Bronx Brewing Company

This past week we enjoyed a couple of brews from Bronx Brewing Company out of New York.  I was able to get my hands on these via a good buddy that travels to New York a few times a year.  His family has one of those lakeside places that make you jealous.  Sometimes the photos look so great that I am beginning to think the place is made up.  I know one thing though, the beer sure as hell isn’t.  Thanks, Chris, now onto the brews!!!!

The Freak Fights – A Night of Live Local Boxing

Well Saturday night was the night that i watched a 45 year man make his pro debut in a boxing match.  You may have read a tale or two of the Freak when I was tracking his eating adventure in the Wing Bowl this past Feb.  CLICK HERE TO SEE THAT TALE.  Frankie feels like a local celeb and if you heard the two hundred people at the event on Saturday you would have trouble not believing that.  FREAK FREAK FREAK the crowd chanted as he made his way to the ring.  You could tell he was a bit nervous going into the fight but he managed to get through that.  The Freak stood in his corner swaying with that anxious movement that looks like you’re trying hula hoop.  DING DING the bell rang and these two men ran into each other like two rams going at it on a mountain side.  Holy Christ!!!!!
