This week is full of tasty beer. It's a cryin' shame that I can't drink it all.

The New England Real Ale Exhibition: http://www.nerax.org/nerax/
Wednesday through Saturday at the VFW Dilboy, with sammitches from Redbones.
They'll have excessive American and British casks of ale and cider which I want to try ALL of.

Cambridge Brewing Company is turning 19, and will have 19 beers on tap for the party including some awesome ones I've had, and some awesome sounding ones I haven't had. (Info they sent out via e-mail under
There are a few on tap for Friday that may or may not kick that night.
If they kick we’ve got a different brew ready to go, so technically we
will have 24 beers :-) These are the ones with a ‘*’ next to them

Anyway…Here it is.
