New York Craft Beer Week was a blast. I had the opportunity to attend three great events — there were several more events all week long but I was a bit picky (plus I was out of town last weekend).

It’s already Thursday and there have been a lot of great craft beer events this week for New York Craft Beer Week but there are still many to come.

I am a gigantic fan of Wilco. I’ll admit I came to them a little late, but once I heard 2002’s “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot,” I was hooked. I bought most of their back catalog (except 1995’s “A.M.” – I don’t know why I haven’t yet, so please don’t ask), and have gobbled up everything Wilco-related…
