I Suck At Salem Beer Works

today, karen and i visited my bff (kerry).

kerry recently moved to salem. she got a great deal on an apartment. as it turns out, karen and i were her first friends to actually visit kerry at her new apartment. i think our visit made kerry extremely happy because i get the feeling that she thinks no one will ever visit her since she lives further up north than most of my other friends. so we visited. that is what bff's are for, right?

i'm actually used to the commute as i drive to neighboring marblehead quite often. in fact, driving to visit kerry actually felt like i was going to work, especially since i drove to marblehead to show karen around and kill some time. karen and i were going to be early in our visit because i picked karen up following her lunch with my friend (hot amy) and her boy wonder. so karen got a quick sight seeing tour of scenic marblehead before going to salem.

in salem, we met up with kerry, who actually lives close to downtown. the three of us hung out a little before walking the mean streets of downtown salem... in october. amazingly, there were not as many people dressed up in costumes yet... aside from some gorilla on a bike. i am guessing that perhaps it is still too early in the month.

after wandering around town (in which i learned salem had an official witch), the three of us decided to grab a bite to eat. we decided to eat at the salem beer works. now, i suck at salem beer works. i have never been to the salem beer works. when i first went in, i thought... how interesting... they make their own beer and all that. sadly, i failed to realize that the salem beer works... is actually the boston beer works... in salem.

(pictured below are karen and kerry.)


the food (and drinks) were delicious at the salem beer works. i had a grilled red snapper sandwich... with blueberry beer... and then a pumpkin beer... (cue rachael ray's "yum-o" sound). the sandwich was very tasty.

afterwards, we strolled around salem some more before heading back to kerry's apartment. all in all, i would say both karen and i had a good time. i hope kerry likewise enjoyed our company.
