The People’s Pint

The Irish Session has been playing here for years. They get together and eat dinner prior to their gig… they laugh, they talk fiddles and pipes. Then, they clear a spot on the back wall, sit in a circle and tap their feet to the rhythm of songs they all know. In the basement, where I sit in my office, I hear a familiar cadence every Sunday and know that the musicians are winding down another week and filling their hearts with song.

Thursday, November 13, our Chef Chris will be representing The People’s Pint on a WGBY television program called On The Menu. We’re super proud of him and can’t wait to see him on the box. His wife, Betsy, and his son, Ben, are prepared to handle the fame and fortune sure to follow Chef Chris. He’s a terrific asset to The People’s Pint (we aren’t just brown rice and tofu anymore!), and look forward to years of his culinary prowess.

Check out the website, the show and the recipes. And, be sure to say howdy next time you see him in the dining room.

Today is the day we begin our winter menu. Bye-bye, craisin chicken wrap & tilapia dinner. Hello, winter squash, beet & goat cheese strudel, steak-n-stout pie, burger de maison, and barramundi fish cake dinner. Yummy, yummy.

It’s also the time we re-celebrate our menu prices. Like everything else on the planet the price we pay for ingredients fluctuates and in order for us to remain sustainable (and have our door open), we have to cover our costs. You’ll see some reductions and some increases due to our efforts to bring your fresh food at an affordable price. We appreciate your understanding.

As always, should you have questions or comments, write thepeoplespint@gmail.com and you will be recognized and given an answer. Now, isn’t that nice?

Wow! is it warm outside. Our windows and back door are open, our chef took off to play golf, and we haven’t turned on the heat yet this year. On this balmy day, we acknowledge that change is coming soon and we’re looking forward to what the winds will bring. We know we can’t rest. There will be sidewalks to shovel, families to feed, clothes to mend and houses to shore up. Together we can get through another New England winter.

For the rest of the year, our calendar is jam packed with fun things to do. We’ve stocked up on merchandise so you can give your special someone a peice of the pint. We’re currently brewing Tiger Bite, Slippery Slope and Imperial Stout. And, our menu changes this Friday. Good times - they are a coming.
