gancreamale-analogtwitter — Last night was pretty sweet. DigBoston hosted a tweetup IRL event for Narragansett’s Cream Ale release party at the Salty Pig in Boston.

dtx_sunlight — I love tv. A lot. Seriously. I watch it more than I know is healthy. And do unhealthy things while watching it, like drink beer and eat fatty food. But it’s comforting. When I went through a period of underemployment, my tv helped me through it, and despite the personal […]

grencontainer — So, this deals with a recipe, but not a cocktail. More of an ingredient for cocktails. Grenadine. Here’s the deal. Grenadine is basically pomegranate syrup. You might think “why don’t they just call it pomegranate syrup?” but that has to do with the history of pomegranates themselves. It’s an ancient […]
