The first few truly wintery days this past week put me into full hibernation mode. When it came time to brave the frigid air to sip on a brew outside my own living room for this week’s column I knew it was time to hit one of my favorite local spots for the perfect late-fall brew, which I’ve been keeping in my back pocket for a lazy week just like this one. That’s how I found myself snuggled at a table in Pearl’s Social & Billy Club this week, listening to blues music over the din of my fellow drinkers and sipping on a glass of Left Hand’s Milk Stout, a small, contented smile on my face.
