Perhaps it is the organic ingredients, or the mountain spring water. Could it be the natural hops, grains, and honey right from the farm? Or, is Brett Nichols the greatest brewmaster to ever make beer.
Too much, you think?
Wait until you take the top off a Shooting Creek Farm brew: taste the silken, pure, complex taste, and then join me in exalting the best small brewery in North America. High on the Blue Ridge, Shooting Creek Farm Brewery sits on Brett and Johanna Nichols’ certified organic Five Penny Farm in legendary Floyd county.
There are six distinct brews offered by the farm, and while I am the type to pick favorites, with this roster I am undone.

Sorry to be annoying, but if you eat beef you may as well take credit for killing the world. And while beef is the worst factory food offender on the hoof, a vegetarian is estimated to save the world one thousand times more than someone who elects not to drive a car. So if you cannot grow all your own food, at least try a garden. If you must go to a restaurant, and you must be in a sorry city, try one like Quintessence in NYC.

Film reviews by Igor Donne
Perhaps you will get the idea I do not watch much T.V. or film, and that is true. Just what can be had from the library when a movie is in order.
Despite that reality this list follows, please send your contributions
with adulation or acrimony.
GREAT
Blood Diamond
Battle for Algiers
Matrix (only the First film) - [everyone in the biz knows government agents put guns in those Wachowski bros. mouths and made them create sequels]
Sin City
300 (Didn’t Greek guys have hairy chests and arms and legs? Did I miss a waxing scene?)
Ong Bak - Tony Jaa, the greatest since Bruce Lee, and in this film, perhaps the greatest ever. A great film.
Ran - Kurosawa’s masterpiece
Kundun - Scorsese’s most beautiful film about the life of H.H. the Dalai Lama
Taxi Driver - Scorsese’s greatest ugly film.
Lagaan - Beautiful hindi film, robbed of the Oscar to facilitate the War n Terror
Children of Men - frightening and moving
Hideous Kinky - Brilliant study of the ex-pat spirt quest set.
American Splendor
Kak and utter kak
Closer-So bad it is unbearable to watch
I Am Legend-Worse than Closer, if possible, perhaps the worst monster movie since The Relic
No country for old men - boring fake and insipid, that ass would get iced in one day acting the fool in this land.
Fantastic Four - oh my God, that was pure pain from beginning to end.
King Kong (And the revolting Ring Movies)
Iron Man (The Drug Use Avengers Squad - How did the director shed all those pounds? And let us not broach the topic of racist one dimensional Muslim baddies with no motive)
The Protector - Tony Jaa totally wasted in a deeply bad film.
The Interpreter - The first time anyone got full access to the U.N. building to make a movie and they made the most boring, pointless, nonsensical movie ever.
And, while it is TV, it must be said that the well reviewed Battlestar Galactica remake is perhaps the worst kak ever made. Two thousand years afte the destruction of earth the use the same guns and smoke the same cigarettes…
these shows are like retirement homes for hams
