I'll start a brewery in Dartmouth for you! Only catch is you have to fund it :D

We really did enjoy it. Oh and BTW I did get a nice quote in about you in the latest TAPS, so they still like you ;) It was in my article about how ridiculously hoppy beers aren't necessarily overly bitter on the palate, as per our conversation a while ago. I'm trying to convince novice craft beer drinkers to not be afraid of "monster" beers that quote huge IBU #'s, because some of them drink pretty easily, and don't leave that astringency on the palate that is still with you when you wake up the next morning ;) (coyote ugly beers?)

I was down for lunch today. "No Nash beer on tap, but tapping something new tonight" was the word I got.

At Alexander Keith's we follow the recipes first developed by the great brewmaster to the absolute letter. :wtf:

Yes they must be tapping a new keg of Keith's after the previous one runs dry. Honestly I have no idea where they would come up with this :cheers2:

I noticed a couple Black & Mac guys on the roof near some cooling equipment around noon yesterday. Chiller progress perhaps?

I will only ever order the veggie burger there, and it was great as usual. As we were one of the few groups of people sitting inside, the service was surprisingly good too.

8 of were there Tuesday last week. We could only have 5 at a table outside.

Moved back inside and other than my Rockcandy we waited a long time for everything. A soup went back to be heated, things were forgotten and left out. The only good comment (other than the beer) was the veggie burger.

Was in last Tuesday, Rockcandy was GREAT!

Had some wings and smoked chicken nachos, jerk wings were quite unbalanced a big too heavy on the allspice/nutmeg. Other than scarceness of chicken the nachos were good, maybe the abundance of them overwhelmed the chicken portion. I'd have them again without chicken for sure.
