beer and midnight sun

Saturday:
lunch at Bear Tooth: IPA
bus to airport, picked up rental car
drove to Valley
Regal Eagle in Eagle River looks nasty, changed, and so effectively closed (signs advertising Bud Select and Becks as beer specials)
lunch/early dinner at Great Brear in Wah-hah-sillo-ay: excellent Beary Strong (8% raspberry strong ale), decent Big Su Strong Ale (8%), excellent if slightly sweet Three Bruins Tripel, excellent Arskigger Scottish Ale (8%).
dinner & drinks at Moose's Tooth: '02 barleywine, then Cask IPA, then '03 barleywine

Sunday: samplers at Homer Brewing Co., bought half gallon soda bottle (best growler vessel EVER) of special Oatmeal Stout ($13 total)
lunch at Finn's pizza on Homer Spit, pint of Homber Brewing Company's Broken Birch Bitter (plus some Oatmeal Stout in the car)
dinner was picnic style in the car, cheese, onion, and mustard sandwiches from Safeway (plus a swig)

Monday: planned journey out to Midnight Sun BC to sample the wares, likely dinner at Moose's Tooth

Tuesday: likely lunch at Orzo, or, gosh, Glacier is right next door...
then flight home.
