Wait, I'm confused.
Glowsticks or dead literary figures this time?
I'd be into this. No one's signed up for q next week. Maybe we could go Wednesday?

Let the summer q excursions begin!
ah, the sweet, sweet lure of the Dilboy, my favorite vfw hall.
By the way, Dilboy was a doughboy, and the hero of Belleau Wood.

There's a bust of him outside of Somerville City Hall.

I know that jbcardinale was interested in hosting next week. But he may be convinced to join the C4RA. What say you, jbc?

I'm not a chocolate stout guy, but the Rogue beers, in general, are very good. I'm a big fan of, and have stocked at my house currently, the other three of these.

I defer, seems like a case where things happen for a good reason, all the way, C4RA!

Sam Adams Chocolate Bock: a mighty fine beer.

Another non chocolate stout drinker here. I do like Guiness and Sam Smith's Imperial Stout, and I will drink free Murphy's and Sam Smith's Oatmeal Stout, but the cocoas are yuckos.

I should have added more to the "top 3" post. I was a little surprised that a chocolate stout placed so high, it is sort of a learned taste (I recommend learning with Brooklyn Brewery's version).
I might have just run out of Smuttynose Pale Ale. Re-stock!
My biweekly trips to my supplier usually result in a 22oz. of a Rogue offering, on top of the two six-packs or so.
