But no one told me, Senator McCarthy!
It seems I've missed Loyalty Day. Ponder.

Beer at the VFW
The title kind of says it all. The New England Real Ale Exhibition started last night, and I swung by after work with a few colleagues. It's being held (as always, apparently) at the VFW hall in Porter Square, in Somerville, which is a strange venue for anything, but one I've now found myself having fun at twice in six months; the other was a Halloween party that some people threw. Both times the place has been packed and I've known five or fewer people, but everyone seems to have a good time and there's no noticeable smoking. Both crowds have been strange, like a college house party with everyone's parents and older siblings there having a good time, too; must be Somerville.

At any rate, NERAX had more good beers to sample than people should rightly be exposed to on a school night, including two Magic Hat brews that I'd never heard of before. And it was at the VFW, so how can you go wrong?
