I guess it used to be hard to brew… you know, when cold conditioning had to be done in caves? When you talk about rich traditions in beer events, the first thing that comes to your mind should be Oktoberfest. I know a lot of guys have fantasies of the sexy librarian or maybe a nurse, but mine always seem to involve a dimdl. Doesn’t take a psych degree to figure out where that comes from.
And now for the final installment of “You might be a New Englander.” If you could tell someone how much the big dig cost off the top of your head, you might be a New Englander. If you know what a quahog is, you might be a New Englander. If you’ve ever bought liquor on a highway, you might be a New Englander. If you would consider “Pedroia” for your son’s middle name, you might be a New Englander. If you can sing the Foxwoods jingle or know the next line after “We’re the one for you New England,” you might be a New Englander. And obviously, if you’re drinking a Narragansett Fest, you might be a New Englander.
