Shark Week

I don't drink beer, rarely anything else (very occasional wine or champagne at a wedding excepted) But in honor of shark week, need to repost this from the field and stream blog (linked to the right): Have A Drink With Captain Quint This Weekend By Joe Cermele So Shark Week 2013 is coming to a close, and to be honest, I'm not sad about it. In my opinion, it wasn't exactly the best Shark Week ever. But be that as it may, perhaps a fitting way for viewers to wrap it up this weekend is to enjoy a few adult beverages in honor of Captain Sam Quint—who is hands down the "sharkiest" movie character the world will ever know. If you're a beer guy like me, then option one for honorary Quint drinking comes from New England-based Narragansett Lager. Remember the scene in "Jaws" where Quint slugs a brew in one gulp and crushes the can? That brew was a 'Gansett, and for a short time only, the company is releasing cans with their old label (bottom left corner of the photo), which was on the can Quint crushed in the cockpit of the Orca. So far, none of the makers of Styrofoam cups have stepped up to honor Hooper. Now if beer isn't your bag, might I suggest mixing up Quint's Bucket O' Chum.
