Olde Blind Dog Pub


I normally don’t review bars and places, but I had such a great experience at this location I can’t help myself. Olde Blind Dog Pub in Alpharetta is the location; they have a good tap line-up (the usual suspects) Boddintons, Guiness, Harp and others, but they also carry some craft suds – Bells, Skullsplitter, and Avery.  I was happy with the selection but the atmosphere, service and food makes this place outstanding. Just in time for St.Patty’s day.

White House Superbowl Party and craft beer!

From the official Obama food Blog: Recipe below:
President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama have joined the home brewing beer trend that's swept the US, and will be serving a very special White House brew tonight when they welcome guests for the annual Super Bowl party, to watch as the Packers take on the Steelers. (Above: President Obama listens as the National Anthem is played on television during the 2009 White House Super Bowl party in the East Garden Room, when the Cardinals took on the Steelers)
