We took off at noonish for Superior (or Duluth). I didn't make up my mind till we were in Superior and Deb was at the (damn) quilt shop. The Thirsty Pagan won out (they had an IPA on tap) - but we will be back and try out Duluth (if we can get past the Pagan).
The bar is awesome - it is the most unpretentious place you can imagine. They have decorated it with old beer memorabilia. It was happy hour and I had the India Pagan Ale (IPA) and Deb had an amber. I loved my beer, but as much as I enjoy an amber there was something about it that I didn't care for. It wasn't my beer though and Deb enjoyed it.
While paying for the beer ($3.25/pint during a 3 hour daily happy hour) I asked about growlers (I had ice in the cooler - and to think, I was never a boy scout). She said the growler was $5 and $12 to fill it. I inwardly flinched as this was a tad too much for me although reasonable. She continued however with the information that Tuesday's special was a pizza (in house) and the growler was only $6 to fill. That was any pizza - it could have been a small plain cheese. Well I was kind of hungry.....
We ordered the medium (13") TPB special
10" | 13" | 16" | |
TPB Special Spicy Italian sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, onions and green peppers. | $11.95 | $17.95 | $24.95 |
This place has live music basically 6 nights a week and open mic on Sunday's - aah, to be rich enough to spend the night drinking the beer and listening to live music and then walk to the motel.
On our way home between Ashland and Hurley a bear lumbered across US 2 - and no, it wasn't a figment of my beer.
In the infamous words of Arnold, "I'll be back".

I would be negligent if I didn't mention the staff. The bartender, waitress and some employee when we entered were great. I love the Thirsty Pagan:)
You gotta love pagans. We have Nate and Rita mostly moved in, still have a freezer, treadmill and misc things I our garage. Boy, summers go fast. It doesn't even look like I will get to make a trip down the buffalo. London is coming up fast and the only thing that we know we are doing is going to stonehenge and the changing of the guard.
