Hot on the heels of our visit to Ryan & Wood Distillery, the Lady Friend and I headed into downtown Gloucester to check another well-known North Shore location off our list. No, we didn’t see that statue of the fisherman guy. We went drinking. Of course. Cape Ann Brewpub. Welcome […]

Rule 37: The Floradora ft Great Lakes Rehorst Gin

About a month ago I got an email from Flag Hill Winery & Distillery. I’ve been on their mailing list for quite awhile, having done their Harvest Fest before, and visited again last year with the Lady Friend, Sissy, and the Mother of the Lady Friend. They tasted the wine, […]

Review: Flag Hill General John Stark Vodka

I am sick. It’s not been a pleasant week. You should understand: I HATE getting a cold. I’m sure no one enjoys it, but I DESPISE it. I take it personally, as an attack on my body from a foreign enemy. So I’ve been fighting it. Vicodin-assisted slumber ensures a […]

Ryan & Wood Distilleries vs. The Plague

The Monday Hangover: Other drink adventures of note from the weekend. There will not be a Rule 37 drink post this week. On Friday, I went to Milwaukee for Trevtastic’s bachelor party. Apparently I picked the ONLY day this year that they’ve had snow (like the rest of the country). […]

The Monday Hangover: Feb 25-26

Last night was pretty sweet. DigBoston hosted a tweetup IRL event for Narragansett’s Cream Ale release party at the Salty Pig in Boston. For those who don’t speak Twitglish, I’ll translate. After last week’s Bock release at Stoddard’s, I was a bit miffed that my social duties didn’t allow for […]

The Monday Hangover: Other drink adventures of note from the weekend. Friday night started with a mini outing to Bin Ends. Despite mooching at their Meletti liqueur tasting the night before, I returned with the Lady Friend in tow to hit up their Stone Brewing tasting. The sales rep had […]

Rule 37: The Meletti Manhattan

The Monday Hangover: Other drink adventures of note from the weekend. Yes, it took me until Thursday to finish this post. We start, as always, with Friday evening. Instead of our usual cocktail adventures, the Lady Friend and I headed out to the Union Brewhouse to meet up with former […]

The Monday Hangover: Feb 11-12

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 […]

Rule 37: The Moscow Mule ft Bully Boy Vodka

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 […]
