In the late 70's, the brewery would send a converted milk tanker down to Watkins Glen for the Can-Am/F1/Trans Am/F5000 races...The driver would park, take out gallon plastic milk bottles [empty] and fill them from the tanker...I forget how much a gallon cost, but it was the sweetest freshest cream ale you could get...

(And at the Oct F1 race, also the coldest...)
