The Grog in Early July


We enjoy the Grog greatly. 

Our lovely English barmaid was there, and we sat down to enjoy lovely lunch. Dave got oysters (a half dozen on the half shell) and plate of ahi tuna appetizer. I got a gorgeous huge salad, with spicy chicken. Dave had a Black & Tan, a Newcastle, and a Wachusett Blueberry, what he often refers to as his "nap beer." I enjoyed a Rogue Dead Guy (hats off to the Rogue Brewery in Oregon. I remember them from 1988 when we were living in Ashland how awesome they were), and the Victory Summer Love brew.

My daughter works up the street, and on Fridays she is done at work around 2pm, so she came to join us eat some lunch. We like to watch the lobsters in the tank, and take bets on the Lobster Fights. We have gotten a couple other people excited about the lobsters too.  

It's fun to go to the Grog in the summer because often times the bar is filled with people from away. The guys next to Dave were from Baltimore, and to their left were people visiting from Western MA. It is fun to hear them talking, and getting in to discussions with them about Newburyport.
