We haven't really felt the, the fall kick in just yet, but what changes from a beverage perspective? Like, do people come in with a different mindset? Are they still looking for their, their summertime beers or their summertime coolers, or are they kinda switching to maybe darker beers? Is it more of a wine season? Like, is there, is there a change of season in a liquor store?

So right now we move into kinda richer foods, richer wines, darker spirits, darker beers.
