BAR is Back!
It was with high hopes on thursday night that we slid into a stall at the Bru Room @ Bar in New Haven. For those unfamiliar with the establishment, Bar features a modest selection of micro brews (toasted blonde, amBar ale, damn' good stout, and pale ale) and dynamite wood oven fired pizzas. We were breaking a self-imposed boycott after we ordered beers here a while back that were served out of really nasty septic lines. There aren't that many micro-brew establishments in CT, so it hurt us to take this place off our list of regular haunts. But the other day, we were tipped off that the management recently spent some serious $$ to replace their lines and tap equipment. So, we ordered their new and improved toasted blonde and took a big whiff. Clean and fresh! Hussah! Then the 1st sip: crisp, mild, with a very toasty caramel finish. Light on carbonation, alcohol, and on calories (107 calories to be exact!) Not the kind of beer that makes the earth move, but it was a lovely accompaniment our tasty 'roni and 'shroom pizza. Our confidence is reestablished! I can't wait to go back. It might be a while though, my husband is still recovering from the noxious pizza burps I had for the rest of the evening.

The last time I was at Bar was when my German penpal came to visit. We had scoped out all the places where you could get a decent beer, so we took them there. "I think I would like to try a Budweiser," Thomas said. We protested and tried to explain to him that Bud was like drinking, well, stuff you don't want to drink. He must've thought we were terribly rude because we ordered him something else. Then he admitted that he didn't really drink beer. What? A German that doesn't drink beer? Baffling! Of course, he was similarily disappointed when we told him we were vegetarians and he was totally looking forward to experiencing all of America's great beefy goodness. Alas, the visit went well enough, but we stopped writing after that.
