8/13/2005 Willimantic Brewing Company

Yesterday's travels weren't so grand.. 30 minutes out to Willimantic to visit one of our favorite lazy spots, Willimantic Brewing Co.

Great place to go (if you can get there) to relax on an afternoon and play that computerized trivia game that hooks into the bar TV's. I scored a 14,380 out of 15,000 on one of the rounds, my highest score ever and one that I'm sure will grace the 'Recent High Scores' screen for some time.

While there, we sampled many beers. Not as many as usual, but still a fair amount.

On the way home, we stopped by John Harvard's in Manchester for a sample of their 10.7% Imperial IPA, "IPA Lot #1". Get it? Big beer for a big boy.. Inspired a stop at the greasy wing joint for some regrettable chow. Working on a plan for something big in the next few weeks.. Its all practice for now.
