Buzzard Taps
On tap that day in Westport, MA.
Pale Ale, Hefeweizen, Black Ale and a Pilsner.
The pilsner came home with me in a growler, and then to Bob’s house where we consumed it in earnest. Nothing like the taste of a fresh pilsner to cut through the heat of a sweltering day.
The people at Buzzards Bay (Westport, MA) are pretty cool.
The guy pulling the taps said he had had a choice to do this job or study at a university in Beirut, Lebanon. In retrospect, I think he feels he’s glad not to be in Beirut right now, having to be evacuated.

Sadly, Beirut was -- and was again fast becoming -- a jewel of a city. They used to call it "the Paris of the Middle East".
I saw a student from American University (Beirut) on TV the other night and she was talking about what a beautiful city it was.
It was always on my list of must see places. (Along with Florence and Prague)
I guess I'll wait a few years ;)
