Certification Saturday Reminder
Tomorrow I and the commenter known as iggir (which is actually crude shorthand for Iggi R, shorthand for Ignatius Reilly, the pseudonym for the HHP website designer) and possibly Sally will be out officially certifying pubs from our unofficial list. Our possibly ambitious plan is to hit the inner SE and downtown locales listed here:
The process, easy-peasey, is described in toto here.
I'll post something with the results of our efforts, probably Monday.
Update.
Well, thanks to Iggi's almost fundamentalist zeal, we stopped and enjoyed every honest pint we certified. Meaning, of course, that we certified fewer. We tried to mitigate their effect by splitting them, ordering low-alcohol beers, and eating, but due to old age and creeping decreptitude, that limited us to five certs. Silver lining: it means the effort is more entertaining and I'm already keen to go do another batch. I'll put up an official post soon, but those now Officially Certified (and in possession of letters of certification and official--if crude--"purveyors of honest pint" placards) are: Roots Organic, Lucky Lab, BridgePort, the Horse Brass, and Belmont Station.
SEI was planning to do a blitzkrieg, but Iggi, owing to a greater sense of commitment, says we should actually be enjoying some of the pints the pub will be pouring during the certification process. (Who knows, we may never make it out of Roots!) In any case, there are a lot of places in town serving honest pints--not to mention those across the country--so I hope you consider helping out.
Roots
Lucky Lab
BridgePort (Hawthorne)
Horse Brass
