I tried Fort George Brewery’s All I Want For Gristmas, a roasted chestnut porter, on December 1st, when it went on tap. It’s wonderful!
It’s part of the 12 Beers of Gristmas, an Oregon Holiday Ale Trail.
Celebrated my 51st (!) birthday at Dead Man’s Isle in Astoria, Oregon
A couple weeks ago a few friends and I gathered at Dead Man’s Isle (1239 Duane) for both the immersive experience of tropical escapism and to celebrate my birthday. Thanks to all who came, and thank you Mike Francis for the photo!
Loyal takes on the one-claw bandit at Gizmo’s Arcade & Eatery
Many a weekend afternoon will find the boys and me downtown at Gizmo’s Arcade & Eatery (1084 Commercial) spending way too much real money on shiny tokens pumped into games of air hockey, vintage video games, pinball, and those cursed claw machines.
The boys also enjoy the big baked pretzels, hotdogs, and fountain drinks. I enjoy the beer. Thank jebus for the beer.
