As part of our party hosting during August I also picked up a 12 pack of Wachusett beer. I was really excited to try these beers because I wanted to support a local brewery. I even put the Geary’s mixed pack back on the shelf in favor of Wachusett. The mixer had Country Pale Ale, IPA and Blueberry in it. This was my experience.

Ale’s Pale Dale
Cous-in-law walked in the other day dangling three Dale’s from a six pack ring. He had been given them by a bud who was visiting Boston for a night and hadn’t managed to get through them. He downed one and handed me the other two. I had one and wrote up some notes. Continue reading
Hop Rod Rye Rocks!
Cous-in-law has been staying with us off and on ever since he was stationed at the Hull Coast Guard Base last month. He’s been getting hot and heavy with the craft beer and we’ve been sharing some great tasty treats. I just picked up a Bear Republic’s Hop Rod Rye to share with him.
I’m not going to bother writing a review, I’m too busy enjoying it, but I did want to say that you should go get it. Get two! For $4 and change, it’s a great deal from one of the best breweries around.
O’F, Girlie-Girl McLady Friend, Poppa Outlaw and myself attended the American Craft Beer Fest a couple months back where Bear Rep had a booth. They were serving their so-called Strong IPA named Apex. O’F loved it, I didn’t. I want a second taste coz these guys know what they’re doing and I love it!
8 Ways to Fix Our Politics – Daily Beast
This recent article in Newsweek was a refreshing and simple read. If one candidate or eleced official used this as a blueprint for making some short term progress, I’d donate, endorse and vote for them. I can’t vote though, but you probably can.
Ra Ra Romney
For a few months now I’ve been claiming that Romney will be the Republican nominee, to the chagrin of Poppa-outlaw who would prefer Bachmann or even Ron Paul.
Despite Bachmann’s recent victory in the Iowa Straw Poll, I just can’t accept her as a legitimate potential president. She’s centering up now but she’s got a fair share of wacky comments in her recent history. Everything from religion and science to sexuality and the minimum wage have fallen prey to her skewed, uninformed, Palinesque distortions. Continue reading
O’Flamous!
Hey check out O’Flanagan’s blog. He got all nominated for being awesome and stuff. Go vote for the boy and maybe he’ll start feeling good about himself.
Attaboy Farty!
Ipswich Mixswich
Career Girl hosted her annual Lake Cottage party this past weekend so once again I took advantage of the situation and picked up some beer that I hadn’t paid much attention to before. This time it was Mercury Brewing Company’s Ipswich brand from right here in sexy Taxachusetts. Mercury also makes the Stone Cat line as well as doing a bunch of contract brewing for different brands. The mixer had the Ipswich Summer Ale, the plain old Ipswich Original Ale and the Ipswich IPA. Continue reading
Brooklyn 3 Way
We hosted some ragers at our house recently which gave me the chance to pick up a few mixed packs of great beer. I love Brooklyn’s Lager (O’F take note my brother), so I was eager to nab the Brooklyn mixer for a lovely $13.49 at the local liquor clearing house, Atlas. Here are my thoughts on the Pennant Pale Ale, the India Pale Ale and the Brown Ale. Hold on to your knickers! Not you blondie, you can just go ahead and drop ‘em. O’F, if you happen to be still wearing them, cinch em up tighter please, we don’t want any travesties. Thanks. Continue reading
