Bottle/Tap: Bottle
I decided to treat myself and stop by one of my Manchester spots to grab a mix six. Going through the selection I noticed that Harpoon had a new limited release; you know me and limited releases, I was all over it. I grabbed one and a few others that looked good and headed home.
I put the stout in the fridge for a bit then went back out to pick up the pizza. I came back and poured it in my trusty pint glass and was pulled in by the aroma. A good stout or porter should have a

Beer Review: Dogfish Head, Shelter Pale Ale
by J Frazzetta on November 26th, 2009 | Beer
Bottle/Tap: Bottle
Enough time has passed, and I thought it wise to review a Dogfish Head beer, since I enjoy most of their brews so much. A while back I tried this pale ale, and I was surprised in the best way possible. When it comes to pale ales, I find some of them can be hit or miss. Overall many taste the same, though some stand out, but it is hard to strike that balance between too bitter and not bitter enough. Enter Dogfish Head.
This pale was a 5% and had been in the fridge for a short amount of

The Official Drink of Polo
by TK on November 23rd, 2009 | Mixed Drinks
Recently, there was a posting on Idea Offer , a Wasabi Ventures property, about what should be the official drink of the game of polo. I always have been intrigued by the game, and it is on my things-to-do list to attend a match some day.
The answers to the idea request were wide and varied, but the three winners ended up being from Captain, LaShan Arceneaux, and Mirilee. Of these the one that was of the most interest to me was from LaShan:

Quench Your Thirst on Thanksgiving
by Michele on November 19th, 2009 | Contest, Frozen Drinks, Hot Drinks, Margaritas, Martinis, Mixed Drinks
Two weeks ago, the editors at Parched No More posted their top ten choices for Thanksgiving cocktails. As hard as it was to narrow the list down to ten drinks, it seemed daunting to choose one favorite. With a variety of drinks from which to choose, including martinis, a margarita, a frappe, a cider drink, an eggnog, and a wine-tail, the options seemed overwhelming.
However, polling has ended, and our readers have spoken. We are pleased to announce that the Pumkinlicious Martini from ECO-BAR was chosen as the favorite drink for Thanksgiving. In order to create this delicious beverage

Beer Review: Pennichuck Brewing Co., Fireman’s Pail Ale
by J Frazzetta on November 16th, 2009 | Beer
Bottle/Tap: Bottle, 22oz
I was going over the beers I had to sample and came across this large bottle. Nothing can motivate you to drink a 22-ounce bottle of beer more than the rainy weather. I busted out the big glass, took the beer from the fridge and gave it a good pour. Good color and strong aroma, this beer had me at hello.
There was a bitter flavor, to be expected from any pale beer, but it wasn’t overpowering. I think having it in the fridge for about 40 minutes then giving a straight pour into the glass helped the flavor
