Dimly lit but excellent food, after the Zero 7 show we were hungry. The burger was excellent with chipotle relish. The fries were perfectly salty and seasoned.

Sliding Doors
10 December, 2009 - 22:24 | by ElliotI really really liked it. I thought it was very clever the way they flipped between the... sliding.
Bridgeport Ale House
6 December, 2009 - 14:35 | by ElliotIt was a fun Saturday night. I had the two seasonal beers: the Ebenezer and Hop Harvest. I also had the St. Johns Pizza; it was quite good.
2009 Holiday Ale Festival
3 December, 2009 - 10:47 | by ElliotWhile not a pub, still a drinking outing; I had several, most didn't particularly stand out. Just got around to entering my notes.
- Anchor Brewing, Old Foghorn Ale
- Bear Republic Brewing, Barrel Aged Old Baba Yaga
- L: This one rocked my world and called me the next day. Also: it was over (and because of) the Old Baba Yaga that I received perhaps the most romantic compliment ever: "If I could reduce you to a beer, this would be it." (Probably because it was 11% ABV, and I tend to have a pretty high blood-alcohol level most days.)
- E: This is the beer that starts nights where one wakes up the following morning 300 miles away without pants on
- Brasserie Dupont, Avec Les Bons Voeux 2009
- Full Sail, Wassail Holiday Blend
- Hopworks Urban Brewery, Kronan the Barbarian
- I thought it was a too malty
- L: This—in a weird, crossover way—reminds me of why I don't drink white wine.
- Stone Brewing, Bourbon Barrel Arrogant Bastard Ale
- E: Meh.
Horse Brass
29 November, 2009 - 18:22 | by ElliotI had a London Pride from Fullers Brewing and an Inversion IPA. London Pride was bland.
RiffTrax: Twilight
28 November, 2009 - 16:45 | by ElliotIf anyone ever asks you if you want to watch Riff Trax say that you do. They're hilarious.
Aalto Lounge
27 November, 2009 - 17:47 | by ElliotI've been meaning to stop by this neighborhood hangout for some time. I really enjoyed the atmosphere.
I had a couple of Trumer Pils and a half of the tomanto panini.
Rogue
23 November, 2009 - 15:43 | by ElliotWhile away on a weekend getaway with Ladyfriend, we stopped off at Rogue in Newport Oregon.
I had Juniper Pale and Yellow Snow. They were both quite good.
Mr. Jealousy
21 November, 2009 - 18:13 | by ElliotNot sure what to say about this: I guess the lesson here is, "don't go asking about your lover's exes."
