Would it be wise to open the bottle?

... or so alleges Captured by Porches on the label of this the most recent of their Beers that I discovered while searching the shadowy corners of the Hollywood Whole Foods Beer Aisle.

     I like trying out all the Rye Beers that Captured by Porches makes (My favorite so far being the Schwarz Roggen.) Their Undead Porter was great and had one of my favorite labels of the year. Now this unexpected offering I found lurking nonchalantly next to their Invasive Species IPA and Undead Porter... and, well, It's called Miskatonic Dark Rye and "dedicated to Howard."

     I want to open it now! Alas, it would be unwise of me to drink it all and save none for me other half, who I think will also be delighted by this find! Dude.

     Meanwhile, It may yet be some time before Guillermo Del Toro brings his Lovecraft vision to the big screen, but the HP Lovecraft Film Festival will continue its annual screening of HPL-inspired films to Portland, OR in the spring of 2012.

     Now, go read a book & have a Beer.

     Cheers!
