Groundhog Day

Today is Groundhog Day. This is being posted to the blog because, it was Germans that started this tradition. As you know, my homebrewery is at least half German. Also, the celebrations in Pennsylvania include playing of "Beer Barrel Polka." This morning Punxsutawney Phil in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania did not see his shadow, so spring will arrive early. Click here for the story, pictures and video. If you haven't seen Bill Murray's take on this holiday, you should go rent a copy or look for it on TV, since it will likely be played multiple times today.

In Ohio, Buckeye Chuck confirmed Phil's prediction, by not seeing his shadow.
