Old News:
Bob and I went to the newly opened Hopworks for lunch. I had high expectations that were shot down. They didn't have a cider. I did try their malt beer and couldn't drink it. The burger was delicious but after my foot surgery I was really looking forward to downing my Vicodin with some cider. Oh well.

New News:
I went for happy hour after work on Friday to the Someday Lounge where they for the first time since I've been there had Wyder's! I would like to think it was because of my incessant requests that cider made it on the menu... but maybe not. We'll have to see if they keep it stocked. This definitely increases the likelihood that I will be stopping by after work more often now!

I also made it out to Holocene last night for a show and found that they had bottled cider. Woodchuck even- which I was surprised to see in the mini-fridge. However I was disappointed to find it was 'granny smith.' Bob said I couldn't be upset becuase they had cider. It has to be better than nothing. However it doesn't make sense to me why bars would carry this kind of cider and not the standard apple cider. I can understand that you might want to carry a pear or green apple cider as a second option, but as the only cider option? Doesn't work for me. Although I guess Bob's right; I have to give them some effort points, and I can't dis them to badly because they make outrageously tasty mixed drinks.

TO ALL THE GRAPHIC DESIGNERS OUT THERE - I could really use an image for my rating scale. Does anyone want to design something for me as I am not that creative? How about a shiny red apple for a positive rating and a rotting apple for a bad one?
