Wake me up when the wings get here

That would be Local 44's sticky wings: meaty miniature chicken limbs sticky with a sweet, spicy glaze.  No dipping sauces offered and thankfully not necessary.   A real hot-wings lover would probably be disappointed, and even my Irish tastebuds could've handled some more spice, but after a long afternoon of football and beer, the wings hit the spot.  Your humble Broggers worked our way through a solid third of the draft list: the beer highlights of the day for me were the Sly Fox Pale Ale on cask, and Elysian's Immortal IPA.  This cold weather is getting me back into getting back into big beers.

Perhaps that should be E-A-G-L-E-S of happiness. Spent a lovely Sunday afternoon in Spruce Hill at the newly opened Local 44. Sampled the food as well as a few of their 20-odd draft selections. Thoroughly enjoyed the Coniston Bluebird Bitter. Its a light bodied, slightly hoppy session beer from Britain. I noticed some citrusy/fruity aftertastes that were altogether enjoyable.
Also, I heard the Philadelphia Soul won a big game today...
