was not drunk straight as much as we do now; a hard fruit cider — apple cider was the most common beverage in the US from colonial times until the advent of industrial-scale beer breweries in the mid-19th century; beer and...

I agree that BJ at PM can be a little pricey for what you get, that Spotted Pig is surprisingly good. I also like Stand’s cheesburger – cheddar not bleu – quite a bit, and their onion ring. The homeade ginger...

I have been a diet soda drinker my entire adult life. My teeth have not rotted; my blood sugar remains OK; and I haven’t developed cancer. In the last few years, we discovered Vernor’s Diet Ginger Ale, and that is my...

hey, thanks. in my 'hood, there’s an o.k 1.50 dog at Colonel Mustard’s, two doors down from the Grand Lake movie house, with a good selection of condiments. but I end up getting Aidells or something similar pkg for...

expectations for beer, but low expectation for the food at these pubs: SEA DOG BREWERY in Topsham was cute and right on the river. The pale ale was pretty good and I had a decent lobster roll. They also had nice fried calamari....

as always, and the one beer on tap: a cask conditioned, hand-pulled, "real ale" from Two Brothers; and the Albanian food, which I have not yet tried. The food descriptions were interesting, bridging the gap between typical...

Throw some beer in it. A good strong ale or stout. Take a swig, pour some in. Repeat. Love sausage in the gravy! White gravy is OK, but I like to brown the rue a little. If you get it too thin you can always come back with some...

mystery meat more times than I can count. If you find yourself in the same situation, let me recommend the macaroni & cheese and a Chimay Ale.

If you check the date of the post you’re replying to, it’s approximately one year old. At that time, they were charging $6.50 for a glass of cask ale (not always a pint) when local pubs were charging around...

and the meatloaf. Good Burgers and Shakes – its not the same burger as it used to be but go to corner bistro on 4th and jane...off hudson in the west village. $5.75 you get the bistro burger, for $2 more you get fries and...

Also from Michigan- Paczkis- small jelly-filled donuts eaten on Fat Tuesday every year Vernor’s Ginger Ale. Faygo and Towne Club Sanders sundae toppings

We missed you, Bruce! Our brewmaster, Jesse, brought the traveling pub and shared a delicious ale with us. Others will need to fill you in the other beers quaffed as that was the only one I tried. Here’s a list of the wines i...

often when you walk in the door with three little kids! The cheesecake made by the inhouse pastry chef was one of the best I have ever tasted, including my own cheesecakes! Rogue’s Ale House was great too. I would go to...

Hey, serve ginger ale, 7up, and cola cold enough — and blind-folded — and you can’t taste the difference! No, for quasi-analytical (tasting) purposes, the vodka is served at ambient room temp. Cheers, Jason

and Belgian beer. I once had cheese in at a cafe in Brussels that was soaked in Belgian strong ale that was out of this world.
