Our motto becomes: &#8220;It must be 8 o&#8217;clock somewhere.&#8221; At this gathering of the faithful we serve our &#8220;On Tap Now&#8221; beers plus our Espresso Stout and Orange Hef.<\/p>\n<p>Lovers of The Hef, lovers of good coffee and just plain lovers will attend. And also attending, always attending, will be 8 or so old men (it makes you old) of the Miller&#8217;s River Morris Men, of which I am a member. And you know what Grocho Marx had to say about any group willing to admit him. The same applies here, regardless of the actual fact that I joined them and too many years ago to remember why or how to escape. These intrepid dancers of a tradition so old that even they cannot remember its origins, will dance at 9 AM sharp, because the Morris is nothing if not prompt (should begin by 9:30 anyway). They&#8217;ve been known to tipple a little too, but only to enable certain of their functions still asleep at the ungodly hour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(from the Gardner Ale House newsletter) Solstice Party and Beer Breakfast 8-10 AM, Saturday, June 23 $11 Breakfast Buffet &amp; First Beer Special appearance by The Millers River Morris Men First 75 people receive the commemorative Solstice Party and Beer Breakfast 12 oz. pilsner Glass.
