OK...on Sunday, I decided it was time to have just a little fun. We had some gift certificates for a restaurant we'd never tried - Beachside Forno - and lunch sounded like a plan. This would be followed by a walk on the beach. An afternoon off. No paperwork. No emails. No phone calls. A bubble of sanity.
Here I am - having fun. I couldn't resist trying this ale. It was, of course, the name that got me. Something from a craft brewery named Dead Frog can't possibly be as bad as that sounds...right? Must be a little marketing game. And the variety on tap was their Nut Brown Ale. Feeling as free as a squirrel and loving dark ales, I decided to try one. Just a small one - it's not as big as it looks in the photo. Honest! Just a trick of perspective, folks. It was Delicious! Kind of Guiness-y but with a little chocolate aftertaste. I almost went back for more But good manners - and it being only lunchtime - stopped me. And I still needed to walk.
Now, it's back to that beat.

When I saw the pic in my reader I thought it was a pint, sorry, a small pint, of Guinness.
Nothing like a bit of time out and a meal handed to you to chill out after that hectic time you've been through.
Don't think I'd have been able to resist going back for more, lunch-time or not!
I'm not a fan of beer but Hubs loves the dark ales. I'm more of a wine-o. LOL Glad you had a nice afternoon.
Just the name of the restaurant sounds pleasing. Glad you an afternoon off to enjoy it. I'm not much of an ale drinker but I have to say there are some interesting names!
I'm glad you got a pleasant chocolate surtprise instead of dead frogs!! Hope you had a great walk on the beach!
I keep meaning to tell you that I love your glasses. They look so nice on you.
I'd like a beer, too.
Some great food to be had by the looks of things. That beer would have me out for the count!!!
Ya, figure it was a small one, and your right it doesn't look small. I believe you, dead frog, so glad it tasted better. I'm not an ale or beer ever drinker. Brave you are
Thanks, Rudee!
Great picture! Cheers!
