AHHHH!!!! I hate when life steps in the way of a good time. This was my situation yesterday when work kept me from the Party-of-a-Century-and-a-Half at McGillan's Olde Ale House. The festivities were punctuated by the tapping (courtesy of honest Abe Lincoln) of 1860 IPA (brewed for McGillian's by Stoudt's Brewing Co.). The party kicked off 150 days before the bar's 150th anniversary year. That's some serious staying power. To go along with the celebration McGillan's is also hosting authors who have written about the bar. Three of the five writers just so happen to dabble a little in beer literature. So, it's your chance to listen to a reading and have a beer with guys who do this writing thing for a living. Don "Joe Sixpack" Russell kick started the readings at last night's bash. If you missed it, like I did, don't worry you still have the chance to toast to the longevity of McGillan's and catch two more beer authors reading from their ale stained pages. Cheers!
