Manhattan Cask Ale Festival
Well, the first annual Manhattan cask ale festival is come and gone. It was a good festival, I went with the New York City Beer Meetup, so I had some good company that I had hung out with before there. Just like at the Brazen Head a few weeks back, my favorite beer was the Green Flash. This time they had an imperial IPA, not the West Coast IPA that they had at Brazen Head. All in all, the west coast IPA is perhaps one of the best IPA's I've ever had, and the imperial IPA was the besst at this festival.

In Moby-Dick, dildos Captain Ahab tells his first mate, Starbuck, that of the past forty years of “making war on the horrors of the deep” he’d only been ashore three, leaving only “one dent in marriage pillow.” “ife? ” The dildos, called “he’s-at-homes” in some books on the historical past of the Yankee whale fishery, had been meant to be some insurance of constancy for a husband who was not often current.
