The Beer Thread

[sneoh]

Does one need to join a "club" to enter a brewpub in SLC?

OK, off track here (but blame it on Strand) -
in the mid nineties I dated a woman who has/had a gay step brother who lived in NYC.  On one visit, we, together with her step brother and his partner, went to THE gay nightclub of that time in the city.  What an experience!  We got lots of stares (she for being only one of 3 women there on a busy Sat night and I for not letting go of her hand the entire time we were there).  I do not think I am ever going to see so much leather attire at one place ever again!

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

No, you don't have to join,, though istill have membership to 2 places from th 80's,,, it wasmaybe $10 for life.

The other subject-

I worked with a gay dude at the Globe during 9/11..a very long day.. around midnite ( a 18 hr day) he said  " I NEED vodka" i could not object.. nice tour of Boston'ds South End.. and back to work at 4 am

Now that it has gotten warmer outdoors, I am enjoying Back Bay IPA form Beer Works Brewery in Lowell, MA.  Very nice, well suited to the warmer wx and I found it totally by chance!  Anyone else tried it?  If so, what do you think?

Thanks Benny.  I will try the Lagunitas Daytime IPA next.

Great Deal right now at Discount Bev in N. Conway. Flying Dog Snakebite IPA & Atlantic Lager, $13.99 for 4/6 packs, and they let you mix. Cheaper than PBR!

Lagunitas make some fine brews

[Ducayet]

Just tried the Laguntitas for the first time, I cannot complain. Whats their best? Anything good dark?

[Wally]

lagunitas - i like the maximus IPA and if you can find it try the "undercover shutdown" ale

[JoeC]

 I had Tremens Delerium.  That is a damn good beer!

Ditto plus their Pale Ale

anybody know where you can get Old Peculiar up here, if you can? probably one of the best beers I've ever had...

[tradchick]

Not sure about Old Peculiar Al, but I have discovered the best place to buy beer.  It's in N. Woodstock on route 3, Wayne's Market.  It's a gas station/mini mart but the best beer selection I've seen in the North County. 

My last find was a beer from Scotland called Skull Splitter.

thanks TradChick - that's cool... next time i'm over on that side of the Kanc I'll check it out. usually I'm on the bike tho... [wry grin]

[DLottmann]

If you haven't yet been to "The Good Beer Store", just over the NH/ME line in Fryeburg, you are missing out. I'ld bet money there isn't a place with a bigger selection with 1 hour of the White Mountains.... very extensive...
