I got plenty of CO2 and an extension cord already set up from the walk-in to a generator. Bring it on Sandy!
Looks the The Nurse is extending his vacation a bit.

A bit pricey at £85 for four martinis but worth it. Those were some great martinis!!

who's going on the Mayflower tour with SSBC next Saturday, Nov. 3rd?
There are large chunks of power outages all around our area but we got lucky abd never lost power. We were out for eight days and the. Five more last year with the two storms. We lucked out this time.
Got a buddy stopping by in about an hour to borrow my generator since they're out.
I am the lead on it, is that something you would like to attend? My name is Bob Fontaine. We are hitting up 5-6 places that day. Let me know
I had no frigging idea just how spectacular a steady diet of cask ales could be. Even the proprietary pubs have to offer at least one of someone else's brews and the free pubs are a glorious monument to selection.
I see a beer engine in my future.
Our plane gets into Logan about six. Where should I meet you guys. My liver is going out in a blaze of glory after this trip.

My wife prefers cask conditioned, but me, not so much.
Can someone please tell me why the cask conditioned beers always seem much flatter, and different tasting to me than any other tap, or bottled beer? I know that they don't add CO2, and the keg gets sealed for a bit to build up the carbonation, but do they typically target a much lower carbonation level than bottling? Or is it just because as beer is pumped out, air is pumped in, and that's what makes it flatter?
Yeah, it's a lower CO2 target - might only be ~1 volume, IIRC. It's also usually served warmer. There was a brewpub in Pittsfield that served an IPA on cask, and it was one of the best beers I've had (but only so-so under normal carbonation and and normal temps) - so smooth, all these other flavors were jumping out that I'd never noticed before, just felt so much fuller-bodied yet easier to drink... a completely different (and better) beer.

do you know of any places in Orlando proper - (i.e. not Disney?) Even if it wasn't clear in my last post, I don't think we're going anywhere near Disneyworld, unless that ESPN bar is our only option.
Thanks,
