ha, the Barrington Inn by Pepper Lake was our hangout from work, 77 to 79.
Didn't do too much shopping during that time unless it was for a six pak.

School? Remember?



I worked at Cary Metal products in Barrington. We built printing presses. I would travel around the country repairing presses. RR Donnely in Chicago was a big customer.



There was a popular deep dish pizza place by Barrington Lake.



Oh crap, pizza? remember? Dang, I'll have to call my wife. She'll remember.</end quote></div>



Damm budman..we were very close together for a bit of rime there. Did you ever go to Shoperama ? it was a sort of everything store across the street (sort of) from the Harley dealer in the 70's...</end quote></div>

we're not that far away from each other now.
my girls just got back from a week in Chicago, the rain, humidity, tornado sirens almost everyday made them appreciate our cool 118* heat today, well, maybe.

gotta be brutal hot in one of those cars. I cant even imagine towing with my F350 with no A/C. and it would probably seem cool compared to that.

 

PapaGrande,

Have you ever ordered from that web site? They carry my favorite Dunkel Weiss beer. How long
does it take and any taste diff from getting it from a place like this Vs. my local liquior store that
has a great import selection?

I never heard of Dunkel Weiss before. Dunkel is bottom-fermented dark lager, and weiss beer is top-fermented wheat beer. Dunkel and Weiss are made of different ingredients by two entirely different methods. Is Dunkel Weiss two different beers mixed together? Is it some kind of weird hybrid? where does this stuff come from?

Nevermind. On my second attempt at Googling it, I found out it's Dark Wheat beer. In the few years I was in Germany I drank a lot of Dunkles and a lot of Weizen among other types, but I never even heard of a "Weisse Dark". That's what's on one of the labels but doesn't seem to make much sense because WEISS meaks WHITE. <u>Weiss beer is White Beer</u> which is another name for Wheat beer. It seems like they're calling it "White Dark" beer, but it's dark wheat, which I never even knew was even possible to make.
