Cuvee Noire

Apologies for the lag in entries - I was on a wicked staycation the past 2 weeks. Well, staycation in the sense that I stayed home about 60% of the time, while the other 40% was dedicated to camping and a trip up to Boston. But that's not important right now. You know is? Beer. I'm sitting here drinking a delicious bottle of Post Road Pumpkin Ale, generously donated by the Brooklyn Brewery for review, which I should have up tomorrow or Thursday the latest.

The worlds of cocktails and beer get along about as well as Jews and Arabs on the Gaza Strip. A high-minded cocktail drinker will look at a gentleman enjoying a pint and some bar nuts and think to himself "how uncivilized," while a malt fanatic scrutinizing the tap list of his local watering hole will roll his eyes when the liquor snob next to him delays everyone else's imbibing by ordering a way-too-complicated cocktail.
