The October issue of Men’s Journal – I know, but Viggo Mortensen was on the cover – chose the top 25 American beers. Taking the top spot for best dark beer was none other than Three Philosophers, from Cooperstown’s Ommegang Brewery, described as:
“a blend of two classic Belgian styles, strong dark ale and cherry lambic, this beer perfectly combines dark warming goodness and hints of chocolate, cherry and coffee, making it the best night-hued ale on Earth.”
I think they liked it.
We here at Nippertown.com don’t really need a reason to raise a pint of Guinness and toast to good friends and good times. We do it on a regular basis – with or without reason. But if you happen to feel that a reason is required, well, at least today you’ve got one.
Today marks the 250th anniversary of Guinness, and the St. James’ Gate Brewery in Dublin is celebrating in fine fashion with a big blow-out concert.
If you can’t get a draft, you’ll want to opt for the cans, not the bottles, if you value a creamy head:
So raise your glass to Guinness – a meal in a glass!
Sometimes you just need a little headbangin’ to clear away the cobwebs.
And yeah, I suppose that I could have waited for AC/DC on Sunday night. But sometimes when ya gotta go, ya just gotta go. So my old pal Snayle roared into town, picked me up late Saturday afternoon, and we headed off to the Edgefest blast at the Altamont Fairgrounds.
