Mitch's Musings: Pot of Gold

Never Found ItI did however find Sip 'O Sunshine on tap that night. That's almost as good as a pot of gold.

When in Rome....
Tried my best to be as Maine-esque as possible. We walked the jetty, ate lots of lobster, and (of course) drank more than a few local brews. I went to Wasses and had one hell of a hot dog, and drank some vintage Kerner. 


Two Days In A RowI think the Unicorns have been busy making like rabbits.
Found SOS on tap two nights in a row!
Closer
Custom blend and custom label closer to our doors. Stay tuned for a pre-sell offer. You can contact Eddie to reserve some today!

Slacking
My beer fridge run-eth over-eth. Doesn't help that every time I go away I bring back local goodies that I can't get here.


A Staff That Wiffles Together...
Stays together or at the very least has fun together.
Home Brew
It was bound to happen. Thanks to a whole lot of encouragement and nudging from @theskinnybeergirl (aka Julia), we're diving into the realm of home brewing. We had a boat load of help from the fine folks at Maltos/Veracious Brewing in Monroe Ct. You gotta love a home brew shop where you're met at the door by 3 friendly retrievers, then shortly after an super nice salesman spends the next 4 hours walking you through the process, giving you a tour of the brewery and tap room (right next door), introduces you to the owners (who spend an hour with you), and then helps you out to the car. I can't suggest visiting these guys more. We'll be heading back there shortly to sample their 8 house made brews on tap.

Stupendous Northern Italian Whites
Big thank you to all that attended our Northern Italian White Tasting. Great wines, fun people, and smidgen of education. Nothing better!
