A New Joint: Bookhouse Pub

So, I dropped by the recently-opened Bookhouse Pub last night, and I've found my winter hangout.

The pub itself is very small, seating 50 max, including a 10-seat bar. The whole place is medium-finish wood, except for the exquisite bar surface, which is a darker tone (yes, it's a solid wood bartop). It's a windowless, non-smoking space, with plenty of (unheated, at the moment) patio space in which to light up.

I milled around, settled on a spot, and saw the following on the main tap: Saison Dupont, St. Bernardus Abt 12, Gulden Draak, Lindeman's Framboise , Chimay White, Allagash Tripel, and two others I can't remember offhand.

Let me repeat this: Gulden Draak, St. Bernardus 12, Saison Dupont, and Chimay White, on tap. A.k.a., "my next four visits to this place". :) This does not include a couple of bottles I spotted, which look to be micro-batch brews of some kind.

I'll report on the menu at a later time.
