Borg Commemorative toast.

Post by berryman »

Who wants to have a group toast to the biggest freighter that sailed the Great Lakes and sunk in a bad storm November 10? This coming Sunday. If you like porters and can find it in your area, this is a very good beer, I drink them quite often. Edmund Fitzgerald.

Two great tributes to a mighty ship...the song and the beer. Unfortunately, I don’t care for porters, but I’ll still toast The Wreck with something else.

I'm in. I can walk a couple of blocks down from my street and pick up one of those.

I'm on the road Sunday, but I might find someone to have a beer with.

I can't find that out here, nor do I like porters, but I'll drink a stout as a sign of solidarity.
I'll even play the song while I do it.
