Our company went to the Harpoon Brewery to take in the 5:30 club experience. Appearing are Graham “Thirsty Chicken” Nelson, Amy Moriarty and Allen & Gerritsen’s CEO (and martini man) Andrew Graff.

The treat was talking to Jules the bartender. He is highly knowledgeable about the products and process.

The best part is how I talk about not talking about the finish, right after I talk about the finish. What I meant is that I do not refer to a finish as “lingering, crisp, sweet or dry”. I use language that you and I care about, not beerspeak that no one understands.
