Imperial IPA

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 […]

beernbacon — The Monday Hangover: Other drink adventures of note from the weekend. Following last weekend’s trip to Cal-ee-for-nee-ah, it was nice to get back into the weekly routine of cocktail night on Friday. There were Rule 37 fufillments, a whiskey sour made with an overripe lemon (yargh… not recommended) and a […]

oct_night — Octoberfest season! The ol’ SquirrelFartsMail inbox started lighting up a couple weeks ago with notices of various autumnal October/Oktober festival drinking opportunities (I subscribe to quite a few drink-related newsletters). I generally avoid the larger gatherings, preferring smaller venues with easier (quicker) access to the beer. I don’t like crowds; […]

brewhousetake2 — The Monday Hangover: Other drink adventures of note from the weekend. Let’s see if this works. Basically a section to sum up the other tasty imbibables consumed during the weekend that didn’t get their own post. The trouble started Friday evening, when I stopped by Curtis Liquors with beer on […]

floor_glow — Thursday. Still another day to go this week. Relief was necessary; liquid relief. A bomber. Initial thoughts were for the Brewdog Hardcore IPA, an “explicit imperial ale” at 9.2% abv. Discovered in a Stop n’ Shop up in Stratham, where I also discovered the magical “mix-your-own” six pack. Lovely. But […]

AV-DIPA — I noticed some unexpected traffic on the site earlier, and tracked it to the CBS website. It seems that the results of the Most Valuable Blogger Awards have been posted. Well gosh golly gee, look at that: I can’t get that Karate Kid song out of my head. While I […]

bluehillskegs — Ok. So I’ll admit that the cocktail end of these ramblings have turned mostly beer-centric with many brewery/ brewpub tours n’ tastings. But I’m running this show, and beer is tasty, so here’s another brewery tour. Another glittering brewery frontage. Blue Hills Brewery is located in Canton, MA near the […]
