    Is it a guy who calls himself Joe the Plumber who is neither named Joe nor a licensed plumber?

    DID YOU BUY UP THEIR ENTIRE STASH? DID YOU WEEP WITH JOY AT THE SIGHT OF THEM? CANS, I PRESUME? OR DO THEY CARRY THE BOTTLES?

    Wow, that was nice of Matt, letting his dad bat for him in the World Series!

    Oh, and this summer I knew I was going to have a good vacation when I found Utica Club at a grocery story in N.C.'s Outer Banks. I was kind stunned. Saranac I expected, but the Utica Club shocked me.

    UC has deep ties in North Carolina. You can get six packs of bottles in Durham from time to time. I am still weeping. I will hit Brikbeck's the next time I'm in Syracuse.

    Genny Cream is the Michael Phelps of NY beers. Lots of gold medals.

    Utica Club was one of my first "clients."

    I got to know the entire Matt family and a few of their scandals.

    Early tag line; " Utica Club...we drink all we can...the rest, we sell."

    You're welcome.

    I remember UC from childhood days in central NY. (My dad drank it because it cost 99 cents a six pack).

    The ad line then was "Nature's own beer, UC!"

    Genessee probably cost a $1.19 a six pack. Company beer.

    I moved from Corning, NY to Blacksburg, VA in 2005. I walked to my new grocery store, which had a walk-in beer fridge. I saw cans and bottles of Genny Cream Ale. It took about 4 minutes for my mouth to close. Then, I wept. Then I bought a 30 pack for the July 4th weekend.

    Was only in VA for 6 months, but that helped soften the blow.
