I thought it would be appropriate to post an Irish drinking song in honor of St. Patty’s Day.

On Wednesday, March 7th Jen (Thirsty Beard’s wife) and our friend Geri and I all went to dinner at Ten Center Street in Newburyport. None of us had been there before and had no expectations of what was to come. As we walked into the cozy restaurant we asked the waitress for the best seat […]

The group consisted of Hops, Ian, Nerissa, Curly Stout, Sean and me. Nerissa and Curley Stout invited us to a Beerrunch at the Cambridge […]

For those who don’t know, Ian, Ryan, Amber and I are 24 fanatics. We spend many Monday evenings watching Jack Bauer escape death, count the times that Chloe cries, and predict what the terrorists will do next. If you aren’t watching 24, you’re missing out on all of the action. Anyways, back to reality. Beer. […]

The meeting was held at the Tap Brewery in Haverhill, Ma. It was just down the street from Ryan’s house, […]
