As of late, the Trinity Tavern has been my after-work pub of choice. There are many reasons for this of a wide and varied nature; but the primary reason is that it is, in the entire locality, the only truly non-smoking bar. For this reason, because they had the balls to do what no one else will do, they have earned my patronage.
This is not to say that I don’t, or won’t visit other bars. But, if that bar is one that allows smoking expect that visit to be short and the frequency low.
Cheers.

There are few things that this PubGuy likes better than the beauty of a fully stocked end-cap bursting with all the fresh Summer brews just arriving.
What makes this vision even more appealing is that these beers are a direct result of the current craft beer renaissance being experience in the United States. While it’s true that Shock Top and Blue Moon are both part and parcel of large brewery conglomerates, both of these beers are a response to the vastly superior craft beers. Without the Magic Hats and Sierra Nevadas and Harpoons of the world, Miller-Coors wouldn’t feel the need to produce Blue Moon and Anheuser-Busch certainly wouldn’t be wasting time with Shock Top. While not necessarily good beers, their inclusion in the Summer beer market indicates a shift in consumer thinking – a shift that I, personally, am glad to see.
Cheers

One morning after a fairly violent wind and rain storm, I saw the remains of this spider web under the partially protected canopy of stairs. A slight mist was falling still from the sky, but I have no method of determining whether the rain and wind caused the destruction, or if perhaps this web belongs to a particularly well-fed and presumably now-happy spider.
Whatever the reason for the destruction, the aftermath in the mist-laden sun streaks presented a fine photo opportunity.
Cheers.
