• This is really beer season.

This is Hemingway weather. There’s no other way to look at monsoon season in Kansas City. With cold rain making a soup of the grass and a gray sky that suggests baseball is far away, there’s one activity that is not weather dependent. And that, Fast Pitch readers, is drinking.

Minsky’s launched its own brew, Burlesque Lager, earlier this month. And Uncommon Stock will begin selling classic tomato soup, zucchini-basil soup with toasted walnuts and Armenian apricot soup tomorrow. Whether it’s hot tea or a hot toddy or whether it’s a cold beer or a nice bowl of pho, pour forth your recommendations. What are you drinking right now?
