McGuiness / McSorley's

I've recently moved back to the Rochester Area and have been introduced to several great things. First I'd like to mention a new Pub called McGuiness. It's located in Penfield in Panaroma Plaza. They have a small menu but a lot of the food is made with Guinness. The baked potato soup with bacon was delicious. A bargain at 4 dollars. It's served in a giant bread bowl. The food isn't the reason I wanted to post. The reason I wanted to post was because they have tables called Brewmaster tables, these are tables that are equipped with taps. It's a great idea as long as you don't kick the keg (kegs are stored in a the base of the table).

Another reason I wanted to post was because of a new to me beer. At McGuiness, I had been introduced to McSorley's. I had never heard of it until then (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McSorley%27s_Old_Ale_House). They serve McSorley's Light on draft, which was delicious.

I was at Wegmans last weekend and I came across McSorley's Black Irish Lager (McSorley's Dark). I picked up a 6 pack and to my surprise I fell in love at first sip. It had a nice smooth flavor that left me wanting more.

If you can go out and grab a 6 pack of McSorley's!
