(Blogger's Note: It's been a while since I've posted. Between a long few weeks at my day job, and lots of things going on the past month, I've been pretty busy working lots of hours for multiple days in a row and traveling around the country. The next few posts are from last year. I apologize for the delay.)
After an awesome time hanging out with Sam, Nate & the Huskies, I continued East to my stomping grounds. Late at night, I ended up in Shippensburg and crashed at my friend Sarah's house. I hadn't seen her in a few years, so it was good to catch up with her...and get mutilated by her cat.
After getting some breakfast in the morning, I headed to the next city up in Carlisle, for their Import Show. I have gone to this show several times over the years (and maybe skipped school a few times for it as well). The show used to be a big-time trade show, but due to eBay, has gotten smaller each year.
I got to watch my friend Andrew race his Miata all over the Autocross course. It was incredible. Now that I've experienced the amazingness of the MX-5, I could totally imagine the feeling of going into each of those turns. If only I could use the Force to summon mine 4,000 miles away...but alas, it was still amazing.
After some food, and meeting up with some other friends from the British car shows over the years, we headed on down to Shippensburg to grab some beer at what replaced my favorite college drinking spot.
Knute's Pub & Grille once drove in the masses on King St in Shippensburg. I was there every Tuesday night for Rum and Coke night, and for many other events over my time there. Sadly, the owners decided to close down the business when they retired. In its place, Appalachian Brewing Company bought the space and put in a brewpub.
We both had 2 beers while we were here, and they were pretty good. It helped me to earn the Appalachian badge on Untappd. Not a bad little spot, but definitely for me it will always be Knute's in my heart.
Afterwards, we raced back down to Frederick which was kinda funny because after a few beers over a couple of hours, nature calls...should have taken a pit stop, but the show must go on! I don't think I've ever taken a piss quite so hard in all my life...but anyways back to the beer.

On my Tap for the Night was:
Style: Stout
Brewery: Appalachian Brewing
Untappd Rating: 3/5
Description: "Sweet Chocolately Stout."
Comments: This was a pretty sweet stout. Flavors of chocolate all around, with a nice dark smooth taste.
- Peregrine
Style: Pilsner
Brewery: Appalachian Brewing
Untappd Rating: 2.25/5
Description: "Like if you took a pepper shaker and made a beer."
Comments: Not a bad beer, but certainly a certain level of spice that is sort of odd. I drank it, but just depends on what you're looking for.
