G&G Brewpub is definitely open. I had there APA, IPA and Smoked Rye beers tonight. I enjoyed them all but I really liked the Smoked Rye. The smoke flavor was very restrained simply complementing the rye beer flavor. Think...

By regional diction I mean that people have different ways of pronouncing things in different regions of the US and Canada. I guess I just don’t see the schwa as being a vowel sound in the word ‘pasta,’ no...

morning. Bigelow Grill for dinner – nice but honestly nothing special (they had an outstanding Dogfish Head 90 mins IPA on draft), the restaurant was practically empty on Fri night. Church Brew Works – not a fan of...

in RC because they have Lagunitas IPA and a tolerable burger. I end up at Peninsula Creamery when I’m in the diner/burger mood, mostly for the shakes, but generally despair finding a good burger 'round here. (There was a...

Sirloin tips sandwich at The Fours in Quincy, MA. Must’ve had that one about 80 times in the two years I lived up there. Chased down with a Harpoon IPA on tap, of course.

, but there must be better in town... Granite City had a nice burger...but were out of IPA, more on that later. They did a good job of redeeming themselves...

is in a rush, but they otherwise always have time to talk about beer. A fan of California IPAs who wants to try a Belgian? They have a recommendation. Prefer tart wheat beers? Here’s what we have on tap. Also they ALWAYS...

Life expectancy is lower in the US than all other “first world” countries, at least by a few years. Link: http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0004393.html

Add to your list farmers in Mexico and Canada. The best thing I’ve seen about corn production is the film, “The Future of Food.” It’s available on Netflix, and is well worth everyone’s time. The...
