The Tablet Tavern

[sfbloodbrother]

When I went to school, coffee was $.50 a cup and refills were free. Of course we had to walk uphill 20 miles in the snow to get it.

Wow, I will just get a GIANT thurmas and pour a pot of coffee in it in the morning. Then, it's free.

That's what I do for work ... bring my own coffee in a thermos, but I still have to make it at home which involves grinding the beans fresh and brewing to exacting standards. While it's better than Starbucks swill, it ain't free.

I get free coffee from McDonalds.

Haven't had coffee in a long time! Been just drinking tea in the morning.

They're coffee is actually pretty good.

We should start calling this "the coffee house" rather than "the Tavern"! lol

 

[lunatic59]

... Or start talking about beer.

I could go for an Old Ruffian right about now.
Ah well. Have a couple bottles of Bigfoot in the fridge so I'm good.

I like to think of it as a Tavern from the colonial days. The roadside stop where folks gathered for a coffee, meal, beer, shot, or whatever they did up stairs.

Good point, considering the comments (ex: coffee, beer, sports, love triangles, etc.) that get posted here.

I had their fresh hops beer. As fresh as you can get right out of the vat into my growler.

Fresh Hop is quite amazing. But, you really need to get it right upon release. Even a week or two later, it's diminishing returns.
Sam Adams Imperial Pilsner (the first version, only in bombers) is still one of my absolute favorites. Was able to try some Pliny the Younger that was flown from CA to DC overnight from the brewery, and it blew my mind. Love hoppy beers.

 

[TJGoSurf]

Now I need to find my. 'Don't worry. Be hoppy' T-shirt. Even if it's 10 degrees outside

 

[Codegerm]

I wish I could handle beer tonight, but I have a chest cold and a slightly upset tummy

Anyone know if a growler counts as one or two beers?

I don't know what a growler is, but I figure if it comes in a single bottle / glass it is one beer. I don't care if it is 12/ 24 / 32 / 64/ 128 ounces, if it's in one serving container, it's one beer.

Wait, did George Washington sleep here?

For once I agree with the mods.

A growler is 64oz, normally glass but stainless steel is becoming common, that you fill at a brew pub or brewery that you can take home. A good sealed growler will last about a week before going bad but once opened you have about 24 hours to finish it.

Chinese Androids strike again. It's supposed to work, but it doesn't, and one very frustrated young lady in the office here.

It's a little bit less than a 6-pack. Often a total rip off too unless you REALLY want fresh beer to go. Was how we got to try Pliny the Younger since it's not bottled.

Fresh beer is always better. I use mine for beer I can't get bottled/canned.
