Is that at North Station or Salem, Frank?
North Station. It's on at both, but Salem has gotten Draconian with their policy (no more than two Herc and if you have a Herc you can only have one more beer unless they are familiar with you and/or the manager comes by and talks to you). They are serving it in a slightly larger glass (14 oz tulip over the 12 oz tumbler), but not enough to get that crazy. I had 3 (possibly 4 - needless to say after 3 things get fuzzy, especially with other beers in the mix) last Friday at Canal Street (granted, it was two different beertenders and I went over and had dinner with a friend in between) and nobody said "boo".
If you can get ahold of Anderson Valley Winter Solstice Ale, it KICKS ASS.
Oh my doG, YES! I had my first of the season last Saturday. So good!
Snow, how's it hanging?
I'll just start running now, shall I?
flea - do you work with children's books?
I was watching BBC World News on BBCA this morning, and found out that they also pronounce the football (soccer) team the same way, which surprised me--I'd assumed that they would get it right ("Kell-tic").
Yeah, they're Scottish, they're weird. IJS.
Not professionally, no. I'm in an academic library. Nutty is an ex-children's librarian, though.
Where did you find it???
I didn't. A friend (with whom I tried it for the first time a few years back when we stumbled across it at the Sunset Grill) managed to find it at the suburban location of one of those big stores on Harvard Ave in Allston (I think it's another Marty's, but it might be a Blanchard's). Sunset will definitely have it in the bottle (and possibly on tap).
I haven't really gone looking in the Salem area. That Vinnin Square store that often seems to get off-the-wall beers, or possibly the Kappy's (?) out by the malls would be a place to check.
I was just at the Kappy's and I don't think I saw it. I wasn't looking for it specifically, but I was examining all the winter type beers they had, and we bought 2 others.
Oh, jeez--they just announced that they're moving 42 editorial production jobs from here to Malaysia. It doesn't impact my department as such, but this is not a good thing.
