sunset_window — 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, […]

mon_gennyice — 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 […]

closer_04 — 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 […]

mh_bar_pan — 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 […]

cbc_windows — 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 […]

larryglass — 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%). […]
