I need a recommendation

A few months ago, a friend's wife invited me to his surprise birthday party. By chance, my wife called her for something and my friend's wife told her that there was only going to be wine and soft drinks at the party. Holy shit, was I freaked out. The friend's wife's idea of beer comes from her father who only drank shit beer and did so to excess, but IMO, that's no reason to not offer it at an adult party. When we got there, sure enough, no beer at all so my wife made a quick trip to get some and all was ok.

Now the friend's wife has asked us if we want to go to dinner together. We've been before and they picked the place, so it's our turn now.

What I'm looking for is a restaurant within 25 miles or so of Westchester County, NY that serves craft beer and either no wine or real shit wine. Payback is a bitch.

 

No, I'm sure she wasn't trying to f*&% me or anybody else over. It was the principal of not having beer when she had to know there were at least a dozen beer drinkers going to be there [two of the guests owned a small beer store back in the 80s]. And I did forget to mention, her husband [my friend] doesn't really drink at all so if there was beer there, it would have been macro lager [but the principal still applies].

Yes, Peekskill is a finalist but I believe they do have some wine. I'll have to go over there and check.

 

Good. Thanx for the info. Saved me a trip. Maybe. I still have an excuse.

But come to think of it, maybe I don't need to look any farther. Whether they have decent wine or not, I have come to the conclusion that going out to dinner at a brewery would be sufficient payback.

 

The hostess of the party had plenty of wine available but I guess you can't get drunk on wine and turn a party into a drunken shit show. And I guess I didn't make it clear - the host of the party is a wine drinker. And one of my posts states that her father is a beeraholic so I don't think she'll ever touch the stuff.

And I'm not trying to make any friends - her husband is already a friend. Of course, I didn't mention that I once had a real estate deal with her - she's an agent, I'm an attorney in a state where attorneys are involved in the transaction and it didn't turn out well due to her actions. Needless to say, I've had a chip on my shoulder toward her since then.

But it still doesn't take away from my original premise - the principal that she didn't bother to have any beer at all available.

 

Thank you for your support. Uh-oh. Wasn't that Bartles and Jaymes tag line back in the day?

 

Hmmmm. That's not a bad idea either.

 

Your avatar suggests you have a great recipe. If so, pass it on.

 

Thanx for the suggestions. Seems like you cook like I do. Winging it sometimes produces great results but unfortunately they can't be duplicated. However, when the results suck, I'm glad they can't be duplicated.
