Ha - made you look...

My brother, sister-in-law and I went to the Thomas Hooker Brewing Company in Bloomfield CT yesterday afternoon.   On Saturdays, they have a brewery tour and beer tasting.   The price will be going up to $10 in March so we wanted to get there while it was stil $5.00.

The brewery won several awards:

The beer was good and we had a lot of laughs.

Well JoAnn did you learn anything from the Hooker?
Did they teach you to make Beer?????? LOL.
Nurse Nancy S. Feb 28, 2009, 9:55am EST
Aren't breweries fun to tour? I went to the Busch Brewery at BushGardens years ago, before they moved it out of the park and to another location.
necee t. Feb 28, 2009, 2:32pm EST

JoAnn, I bet you did have a lot of fun, and then had fun writing this. What a title. The whole time it was opening I was thinking to myself, this has just got to be a play on words, but of course, I had to read to know for sure. This was cute.
Linda G. Mar 3, 2009, 7:23am EST
sounds like fun, a lot of breweries and wineries now give their product funny or rude names
JoAnne D. Mar 3, 2009, 11:48pm EST
That really is a great place to visit.
Glenn T. Mar 7, 2009, 5:49pm EST
Refreshment for the ages! A delightful tour through the looking glass of observation.
