Dear Reader,
When I arrived in Maine last Wednesday, I asked my landlord for restaurant recommendations. He asked if I was a beer drinker and recommended a restaurant on the water that serves beer from the local brewery. "Also," he added, "It's where the smart people hang out." I may not historically be a beer drinker but I did come to Maine for the water. And I figured as long as I didn't drink too much I could blend in with the smart people.
I was perusing the beer list when the waitress came over to take my order. One choice is as good as another when you don't know what you're talking about, but rather than choose blindly, I asked the waitress for recommendations. She was most enthusiastic about a Russian Imperial Stout. (Think darker and higher alcohol content than Guinness.)
I liked it and thought I would order it again given the opportunity.
I got the opportunity yesterday in Boston. I was in town overnight for work, and a friend invited me to join her for free beer at the Sam Adams Brewery Wednesday Flight Night.
Once again, the stout was my preference. The ale was ok. And I couldn't be bothered to finish the lager. Yuck.)
Let's see if next Wednesday turns a two week coincidence into a pattern.
Here's to Stout Wednesdays,
