Too many beers. That’s the only way to describe Sunset Grill and Tap in Allston. Their website claims 112 taps and 380 bottles. It’s out of control. Not that it’s a bad thing. Sunset at sunset. I don’t pretend to know much about Allston-Brighton. It’s over on the Green Line, […]

Sunset Grill and Tap. Mostly tap.

The Monday Hangover: Other drink adventures of note from the weekend. Wowsers. I might actually publish a Monday Hangover post on a Monday. Friday started with a break in the usual routine. The Lady Friend was off to have dinner with some friends in Charlestown, and I had some projects […]

Rule 37: The Angeramo Doc-tail

The Monday Hangover: Other drink adventures of note from the weekend. Well. Haven’t done one of these posts in awhile. So, jumping back in, Friday was the usual round of Rule 37 drinks. I had myself a mildly interesting Monkey Gland, and finished off the night with a 24 ouncer […]

Rule 37: The Applejack Rabbit

Yup. Narragansett beer turned Natalie Portman into a stripper. Seriously. Now do I have your undivided attention? Allow me to explain. Let’s start with the basics: Narragansett is/was a brand of beer quite well known in New England, since it was brewed in New England. The old brewery was in […]

How Narragansett Made Natalie Portman a Stripper

Fresh from our CBC visit, the Lady Friend and I were still in Soviet Cambridge, “where beer drinks YOU!” Our lunch beers nestled happily in our gizzards as we meandered back towards the Kendall/MIT Red Line but with one very important beer-centric detour: Meadhall. Close enough. Meadhall is a relatively […]

Rule 37: Rob Roy

Ugh. Cambridge, The People’s Republic of. For those of you not familiar with the area, it’s called that due to the extreme liberal-hippie-happy-friendly-environmental-more bike lanes-fewer cars-save the whales, bunnies and tsetse flies-hipster-aged college professor-drive a Prius-shop at Whole Foods-mentality. It’s like an east coast mini-San Francisco, and one of the […]

You down with CBC? Yeah, you know me

Ah, the unspoilt expanses of granite-laden New Hampshire. The Lady Friend and I were up that way to visit Maggie the Thunder Kitten of Doom, and took the long way back to Braintree, by way of Hooksett, NH. It wasn’t exactly on the way; Hooksett is past Manchester on the […]

White Birch Brewing

Waaaaaaaaaaaa Waaaaa-a-wah Chusettttttt! If you don’t get that, you clearly haven’t spent a winter in New England. The brew was an offering from Wachusett Brewing Company, and one often overlooked; Larry. Larry’s a great guy. A double IPA with no ABV claim on the label (Beer Advocate says it’s 7.5%). […]
