Loved this ! I’m a big fan of pub culture and have found they are the BEST places to make friends and find out the true history of a town. They are the taverns of old and the “Great Good Places” of today. Good on ya Rick for doin’ the recon. LONG LIVE THE PUB!

‘My biggest pet peeve is when you go to a fine restaurant, and it's like a mausoleum inside. Good food should be joyful. There should be laughter and chatter, not people sitting there like they're in a funeral-parlor waiting room.’

Thanks, Lia. You get extra credit for the Harrison call out. Love him. One of our favorites in your neck of the woods is Lawrence’s.

Rick,

An essay like this is the reason to subscribe!

I am not exactly teetotal, but I can’t imagine attending such an adventure. Still, I enjoyed the virtual ride.

Best wishes,

HR

Many thanks, JR. The virtual ride is a little easier on the system. But we lived to fight ride another day.

Totally loved this. Remember the excitement of a school field trip? Bring the grownups (should that be in quotation marks?) in on the fun.

How was the ,“Gemeinschaft?” That’s a Pilsner, right?
