Knut's Day Out In Cambridge
Posted by on Tuesday, November 29, 2005 in - 1 comment
With a large student and academic population, I figured out that this could be the goal of a day trip from London – focused on beer, but not exclusively so. So the plan was to catch a few pubs and sample a few rare beers as well as taking in the more famous sights. The ordeal of navigating the …
Slopping Buckets Of Ale

One of my favorite web sites in the whole world is Forgotten New York run by Kevin Walsh who is a fan of all things utilitarian in architecture in the Big Apple. He has changed the way I see any city I visit. Last summer he wrote about a former bar and included the picture to the right …
Knut Travels South to Freising, Bavaria

Freising, Bavaria, Germany. A quiet little town dozing on a crisp Sunday morning, an excellent place for a stroll – and a few beers. Why Freising? For a beer lover, it has the obvious advantage of being the home of Weihenstephan, which claims to be the oldest brewery in the world, and that …
Life Of A Bouncer
Posted by on Wednesday, October 19, 2005 in - leave a comment
Here is a really good article from the University of Washington's UW Daily Online on an evening in the life of a bar bouncer: • “There is no specific training that Opie received; only through learning from the other bouncers did he pick up on the process, including the typical protocol …
The Stash Renewed

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 …
St. Veronus, Peterborough, Ontario

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 …

I am on summer holidays and the blog is at the mercy of my interest in posting but I have to say that the Adirondack Pub and Brewery in Lake George, New York is pretty good. I had their IPA as well as a decent sampler of blond, hefe, steam, stout, IPA and...umm...another. The food was great and …

We visited the Sackets Harbor Brewing Co. in the North Country of New York State last weekend. Sitting at the eastern end of Lake Ontario in the bay that once saw one-half of the US navy located there around two hundred years ago, the brew pub is in one of the prettiest settings around for a glass …
New York: King Arthur's Steakhouse & Brewery, Oswego

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. I had a little problem with the camera but I expect that you get a sense of the place from these photos. The building is quite impressive and is on one of the …
Seattle Pub Tour
Posted by on Monday, May 16, 2005 in - 1 comment
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 …
