Cape. Our Cape.

Pronouncing on the validity of intergadgets.

I feel like I'm sitting at the feet of Steve Jobs as he gives his Sermon on the Mount.
Only its much different.

[Cape Brewing]

This forum seems much more lively than the one for where I moved to.

(I'm a transplanted Masshole, From Carver)

Has anyone made a Cranberry Anything beer? I was half thinking of doing a Lambic Cranberry brew but I figured this was the best place to ask.

How 'bout a non Bog growler?

After leaving Carver I went to Michigan for college, then joined the Navy.

Moved to Pensacola, FL, Corpus Christi/Kingsville Texas, Jacksonville Florida, back to Kingsville and then to Virginia Beach with the Navy.

 

[paulthenurse]

What do you fly?

 

[Master]

Started off as a helicopter pilot flying SH-60Bs out of Mayport, FL.

Did a late career transition to the E-2C Hawkeye, which is a carrier based AWACS. (Radar plane)

Now I'm a reservist flying a desk, but trying to get into a C-130 unit.

I fly for the USAF as my day job, as a contract pilot.

And those little prop planes wouldn't be able to take off with Paul on board.

A blow to the mid-section, Melana is working the body.

 

[paulthenurse]

Are you suggesting the body needs some work?

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

I haven't seen the body, but from what I've read you would be a trustworthy chef.

It hides the bruises ...

hello everyone, how have you all been

 

[day_trippr]

In honor of two straight days with actual sun light and getting out of the house for a change, a couple of reviews.

- True West award-winning micro and restaurant on Rt 111 in West Acton.
Spousal Unit and I went over there last Saturday evening, had the obligatory 6 brew flight to start. Witbier was very good, Saison was excellent, Belgian was very good. Otoh, their house IPA ("Ruckus") was a tannin bomb - really big time pucker stuff, the Pale was utterly unencumbered by hop flavor or aroma and tasted old and oxidized, and yet another pale was uninspiring.

Fortunately the bar food was very tasty and the gathering was quite social, so on balance I'd give it a 7, including the point added because they're like 6 miles from home.

- Nancy's Airfield Cafe (Minuteman Airfield in Stow) on Car Nights
Nancy's serves fabulous food at fabulous prices, you'll never get less than a great meal there. Thursdays are "Wings and Wheels" nights where area folks bring their cool cars (tonight was British night, lots of MGs, Minis and a few Lotuses (Lotii?). On those nights the Cafe serves simple food with beer and wine.

Beer selection isn't particularly robust but they always have some saving grace - tonight it was a pretty good IPA out of Maine. The House Pizza is awesome and the burgers are great, but the social aspect and the cars are the real draw - some cool people and cars there...

That is all. Go about your business...

Cheers!

Nancy's Airfield Cafe is great for brunch too. Plus if you have little ones in tow they love watching the planes land and take off.

I went to Truewest twice within its first 6 months. Both times service was horrible. They were packed since just opening. Maybe that was the problem. That area is perfect for a place like that. There's 3 microbreweries probably within 5 miles and no ones above average.

They push the whole farm to table anthem way to much. The manager on my first visit asked for my honest opinion after getting done with my meal. I asked if they do everything local? Ans: Yes. Ok I've heard about the maltster out in Hadley. Do you use them? No. Never heard of them. Ok. Who do you use? Ans: Someone online but not from MA. Hops from MA? No.

Ok. So I'm paying $17 for your house burger. So if it's local and you're all hippy into farm to table, tell me its story. What farm is it from? Ans: I don't know Is it organic? No.

Burger came out. Not impressive and wet cold fries. I do see they've updated their menu. Must have read my review. Now says ground at Blood Farm. Blood Farm isn't really a farm. It's the only meat processor in MA. The quality of meat is really good and the prices are really good. So I don't know how they came up with $17 for a burger. Plus Blood's website says they try to buy local but due to demand they can't and need an additional distributor outside of the area. So not really local.

My final question was "what on your menu is local" Ans: We make our ketchup on site. I'd actually agree. Not being sarcastic but the ketchup was actually friggin good. Maybe I should head over there and give them another try.

Old man rant completed.

Wow, I'm dumber for having read all that, and that is saying something.
