While in Syracuse NY for a couple of days, a brief side trip this morning to the Galeville Grocery sees the stash now renewed for another month or two. As a result, I have stories to write about Middles Ages, Mendocino of Saragota, Magic Hat, plus two new to try from each of Youngs, Ommegang and …

So we went to Peterborough yesterday to see old friends and we had lunch at St. Veronus, a cafe/bar with a subtitle: "Belgian beer temple"...truer words were never writ. We are now looking for jobs in the Peterborough area. • So unaccustomed to great selection, great service, reasonable prices …

We visited the Sackets Harbor Brewing Co. in the North Country of New York State last weekend.

While across the way on the weekend we had dinner at King Arthur's Steakhouse and Brewery in Oswego, New York and we were very glad we did.

Seattle Pub Tour

The title of this post is an exaggeration. I spent four days in Seattle last week, at a conference of technical writers, and in that time I managed to get around a bit and to catch a glimpse of that city's brewing life. With only four evenings to spare and a bit of afternoon time, it hardly …

Gritty McDuff's Brewpub, Portland • I got to visit both the Portland and Freeport locations of the oldest brewpub in Maine within 24 hours. I am glad to say the brew in each is fine even if the setting of the Freeport pub is a bit rough. It is a bit like drinking in an old storage shed though …
Britain's Smallest Pub
Posted by on Monday, April 4, 2005 in - 25 comments
For as long as I can remember there has been debate about the smallest pub in the UK. For long periods, the Nutshell, in my home town of Bury St Edmunds has be proclaimed as that smallest pub. The other contender, the pretender to the throne, is the Smiths Arms in Dorset. The Nutshell is a timber …
