beer tour blahs

The Beer Advocate bus tour of beer spots in western mass has hit a snag. After a fine start at Anam Cara, with a post-breakfast Steel Rail Pale Ale, the bus broke down on the Pike and we're cooling our heels at the scenic Ludlow rest area.

The no-longer climate-controlled bus is getting somewhat unpleasant, but the replacement bus is supposed to be here Real Soon Now...

We were supposed to hit the Northampton Brewery for lunch and a tour, People's Pint for a tour and a drink, and Moan and Dove (across the street from our new place!) for a spectacular beer-filled finish. It's not clear what we'll have to cut.
