| ASHLAND BREW PUB HAS SOME GREAT BEERS AND FOOD |
 |
| FISHING IN THE POWER PLANT HOT POND... |

| ...AND SWIMMING (maybe not so hot) |
We had some errands to run in Ashland late yesterday afternoon and decided to have fish fry at the South Shore Brewery, which serves fine craft beers and food. Joan and I both had beer-battered whitefish, which was excellent, and each a pint of the brewery's Rhodes Scholar stout. The stout is almost black, with a head like ocean foam; it is as much food as drink, and puts "lite" beer to shame!
After dinner we stopped at MacDonald's and got ice cream cones, and then drove the short distance to the parking lot at the Excel Energy power plant to eat them. Two guys were fishing from the pier and one caught a really big fish, maybe a lake trout or a stealhead. I couldn't make out what it was for sure, and neither could I get a picture of it.
And much to our surprise, a young couple took a dip in the pond as well, but they didn't stay in long. I think "hot"in this instance merely means not frozen.
Anyway, as the song goes, it was "A Hot Time In The Old Town." Hot enough for us, anyway.
Beer has been referred to as liquid bread. A stout affirms that statement while requiring little, if any, imagination on the part of the drinker.
ReplyDeleteAnd "stout" is what one becomes from imbibing overly much of it!
