Funny, I did the same thing after I read the paper this morning.

Unfortunately I only have one bottle. :(

Good to know. I have one left from a family friend who brough some back after a business trip to Ohio. Probably a good time as any to drink the last one.

Didn't realise today was the anniversary. Oddly enough, we're brewing an Ed Fitz clone soon and all the ingredients arrived today. Wish I had some of the real stuff (fingers crossed for it being on tap in Buffalo).

ed fitz is a personal favourite, but unfortunately i don't have any on hand... i'll have to find some the next time i'm stateside.

i'm rather fond of the rheostatics cover of lightfoot's track. great dynamics. i love how sparse it is at points and the guitar and/or drums just sort of rip through. good stuff.

Agreed, I've always loved that version, seeing it live a couple times was stunning.

I'm partial to the Dandy Warhols version (audio only).
