Thursday (8/16 and 8/23) at the Dive Bar, Scott Ricciuti and I are playing songs all night and the Dive is continuing its tradition of a new cask every Thursday.
The Dive opens at 6pm, music starts around 8pm and goes late. No cover charge, come on down for the best beer selection around and a couple guys playing music.

Re: Scott Ricciuti and Duncan Arsenault Thursday at the Dive + C
If I heard correctly, the cask is going to be Gritty's Halloween ESB.
Re: Scott Ricciuti and Duncan Arsenault Thursday at the Dive + C
Yes Gritty's Halloween Ale it is!
Thursday also happens to be Danielle's birthday! She'll probably hate me for mentioning it(27), but she will be bartending so make sure you say happy birthday!
Re: Scott Ricciuti and Duncan Arsenault Thursday at the Dive + C

Re: Scott Ricciuti and Duncan Arsenault Thursday at the Dive + C
You could do "I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts" in memory of Merv Griffin.

Re: Scott Ricciuti and Duncan Arsenault Thursday at the Dive + C
any huck tunes? :) old school calamine maybe :)
Re: Scott Ricciuti and Duncan Arsenault Thursday at the Dive + C
I think there will be a predominance of Huck tunes but I'm trying to learn some covers, or, at least the words.

Re: Scott Ricciuti and Duncan Arsenault Thursday at the Dive + C
would have been nice to hang out longer...but man, all those beers are like being a kid in a candy shop :)
sounded great!
Re: Scott Ricciuti and Duncan Arsenault Thursday at the Dive + C
i am monsterously hung over this morning.
Re: Scott Ricciuti and Duncan Arsenault Thursday at the Dive + C
Great job last night. Wish I could've stayed longer but I was pretty ripped right when I got there, having just come from Gutta practice. You guys sounded great though.
Re: Scott Ricciuti and Duncan Arsenault Thursday at the Dive + C
i had so much fun i chipped a toof.
great bar and sweet tunes.

thanks everyone for coming. Scott and I are going to do it again this Thursday. So for anyone that enjoyed it or missed it, or just like great beer and can block out the music, please come down.
I forget what this weeks cask is, but I recall Alec saying it was something very special.
Alec?
Re: Scott Ricciuti and Duncan Arsenault Thursday at the Dive + C
any REM tunes? :)
Re: Scott Ricciuti and Duncan Arsenault Thursday at the Dive + C
The Cask this week is Bengali Tiger I.P.A. from Sixpoint Craft Ales, Brooklyn, NY. I tried it for the first time last week on cask at Bukowski's Back Bay...it was superb! It has a wonderful balance which seems to be lacking in many American IPA's today. I also have a barrel of their Otis Stout which should be on line by Thursday. This is a Sweet Stout (Oatmeal) which has had rave reviews!
Re: Scott Ricciuti and Duncan Arsenault Thursday at the Dive + C
whoa!

I want to try this tonight, but I'm not sure I can drink 22 ounces of it. Who wants to split it with me?
Re: Scott Ricciuti and Duncan Arsenault Thursday at the Dive + C
there are a couple big bottles that I have been meaning to try. We will have to coordinate this.
Re: Scott Ricciuti and Duncan Arsenault Thursday at the Dive + C
son of a bitch!
Late band practice and a flight to PHX prevent me from being there tonight...some one have one of those IPAs for me, and I will have an In N Out burger for you :)
Re: Scott Ricciuti and Duncan Arsenault Thursday at the Dive + C
I will stop by tonight after the Tornadoes game.
Re: Scott Ricciuti and Duncan Arsenault Thursday at the Dive + C
So today is the last day of my late Tues/Thurs gig (yay), it seems like this is gonna be a regular occurance, oui? Maybe next week.
Re: Scott Ricciuti and Duncan Arsenault Thursday at the Dive + C
yes every thursday they tap a new Cask and there is some form of music. See you next week

Looks like I could drink 22 ounces of it. Yum, it was awesome!
Re: Scott Ricciuti and Duncan Arsenault Thursday at the Dive + C
I love Michael Bolton.
Re: Scott Ricciuti and Duncan Arsenault Thursday at the Dive + C
Scott and I are back this week for more fun.
Re: Scott Ricciuti and Duncan Arsenault Thursday at the Dive + C
Unfortunately, next week's is "When a Man Loves a Xylophone: a Tribute to Michael Bolton." So you already missed the good stuff.

speaking of fine brews, just back from ontario and sampled some fine stuff.
creemore springs lager - one of the best beers i've tasted.
also brought back some upper canada lager and alexander keith's i.p.a. both outstanding.

Re: Scott Ricciuti and Duncan Arsenault Thursday at the Dive + C
Wow. You have Old Rasputin Imperial Stout!! That was my favorite beer one summer. Haven't seen it much up here in New England.
Re: Scott Ricciuti and Duncan Arsenault Thursday at the Dive + C

Re: Scott Ricciuti and Duncan Arsenault Thursday at the Dive + C

Next week I am planning something awesome, I have to run it by Alec at the Dive tonight.
Re: Scott Ricciuti and Duncan Arsenault Thursday at the Dive + C
I'm hoping to make it, though I was hoping to go out last night and I ended up in bed at 9:30 so we'll see.
Re: Scott Ricciuti and Duncan Arsenault Thursday at the Dive + C
shit...just found out we are having a late practice :(
If something changes, we will be there.
Re: Scott Ricciuti and Duncan Arsenault Thursday at the Dive + C
ok so to recap: tonight at 8 until after 12, cask ale, live music, loads of delicious beer, no cover at The Dive
capisce?
