If you've been enjoying the weekly cask offerings at the Dive Bar, you might enjoy NERAX: the New England Real Ale eXhibition, running this week at the George Dilboy Post at Davis Square in Somerville. It runs Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday night this week, as well as all day on Saturday.
They are featuring an incredible selection of cask ales from England, stuff that simply does not get exported to the US. And there's plenty of casks from local breweries as well: Allagash Black and Dubbel, Berskhire Lost Sailor, Gardner Ale House's Naked Stout, Honest Town's (the new brewery in Southbridge) Ordinary Bitter, and Mayflower's Pale Ale.
Everything you need to know can be found at the NERAX web site.
I'll be there from 3:30 to 7pm on Saturday, as a volunteer bartender.
