Turkey Day

Thanksgiving has come and gone but I was able to pregame with my all year IPA favorite from Lagunitas. Drank a few too many watching the Bruins and playing  Ping Pong at my buddy Sev's house the night before. Woke up with a little headache. I did recover with the a few more and some pounders of Gannsett and PBR at the in-laws for the feast. OK, a few more IPA's before bed should do it.

From the oldest brewery in America to the Holy Grail of New England.

Some beers are treated like a cryptozoology specimen. One you can now get in MA the other you still have to travel to Vermont for. We had to pray for someone to pick up cases of Yuengling or wait for my brother inlaw, Uncle Beard Face, to visit his family in PA to get taste of this bottled sample of unicorn tears. Now it's everywhere and cheaper than Bud. I still drink it here and there.

Heady Topper is still Bigfoot around here. It's good but over rated. Still, drink it if you can get it. Cool thing about HT is we know the artist who designed the label art. His name is Dan Blakeslee, artist and musician.
Check him out he's a cool dude and doesn't drink, how ironic

Most drank in the last 5 years

I was introduced to Narragansett lager my my good friend, drinking buddy and chef, Jim Gracie. We drank just about everything in the Union Square area of Somerville, MA mostly at the now closed Tir na nOg a long time back. How I never stumbled on it then ... well who knows maybe I did but just can't remember.
Anyway, for the past five years its been my go to every day beer. It's sweet tasting and cheap. I usually drink the pounders or Gansett Slugs if you will. I did the retro can since I love Jaws. Jump on the bandwagon and crush it like Quint.

A little late but so what. WU BREW

The small city I live in now has it's own Brewery. LORD HOBO. If you like hoppy beers this is good news for you...and me. They have Boom Sauce, Consolation Prize, Ball & Biscuit and Steal This Can. My favorite is Consolation Prize but drink them all once or a hundred times. Also, the crew there is friendly and the tasting area makes you want to hang out all day and get shitarded. I talked with the owner a few times, really cool guy.

Yes, I have my growler.

Got a little time so here is some beer

Got a treat after hockey on Monday. Toothless Russ gifted me a four pack of Bissell Brothers Substance Ale. It's OK. The can says it took 2 years to make. Should have made it 4. I'll drink it but I'm not going out of my way for it.

First lets go back in History

I've been drinking for sometime now and it all started with stealing sips from my Dad's beer like most others and the fact he bought us non-alcoholic brew. Awhile back  I started pinning drinks that I had drank weather I liked it or not. Liquids I Drank. Never kept up with it so it should be bigger.
