Okay, time for my Sunset story. I think I've posted this before, but it fits here.

My now-husband took me to the Sunset for a yard for my 21st birthday. It was actually a couple of days after my birthday - can I tell you how much it sucks to have your 21st birthday on Thanksgiving??

We weren't carded until we ordered our yards (you have to give them an ID as collateral, to ensure you pay for the glass if you break it - yard glasses are expensive), and even then, the server accepted my expired driver's license.

So there we were at the Sunset, drinking our yards (I had Harpoon IPA; I don't remember what he had). Over at the next table were two young women...

...drinking Bud.

Why would you go to a place that specializes in beer and has 110 beers on tap (many of them unusual), and drink BUD???

To the Sunset's credit, they had not wasted any of their taps on the Bud; they carry it only in bottles.


KSigkid -- where's Publick House?

Haha - I've seen that too many times before. I don't get it either, especially since Bud isn't really cheaper than many of the good brands they have.

The yard is definitely the way to go - haven't been to Sunset in a while, but the next time I go I'll have to have one.

SigmaChi - It's funny, I went through a period sophomore year where I really liked Grolsch, and it was all I would get. That passed, but I don't know why. It's just funny I was drinking it all the time at one point.

Publick House is in Washington Square (upper Beacon St. in Brookline). It actually is supposed to have really good food as well.
