It may not always be sunny in Philadelphia, but Saturday the 19^th there was plenty of sun in Nashua. With his own line of limoncello to promote, Danny DeVito spent some time at the New Hampshire State Liquor Store in Nashua to sign autographs and take pictures for fans.

Back, like a bad hangover, it’s Beer Spots! This is part two of my quest to find good stores to purchase quality beer and then share my findings with all of you. Trust me; the pasture is much greener outside of the supermarket. Let us move up from Massachusetts to my home territory of southern New Hampshire.

Beer Spots

by J Frazzetta on July 22nd, 2008

Every superhero has his or her one big secret, and I’m going to share mine with you: I don’t do all my beer tasting at Strangebrew. I know you’re shocked, but sometimes I have to bring my work home with me.
