Gravity Head starts on Friday, February 26 at 7:00 a.m. at the Public House. This is Tony Beard's logo and tag, as released this week at his personal Facebook page. When clues are released as to this year's beer list, I'll let you know.

Gravity Head 2016 begins at NABC on February 26.

Welcome to the Party ... or, a new Red Room installation.

Profuse and sincere thanks to longtime Public House customer Stephen Bodney, who produced a new piece of Red Room art. It was installed yesterday by Ben and Eric. Below is a close-up.

"Moss the Boss": Self portrait, circa '96.

Back in April, I noted the return of Moss the Boss, otherwise known as Alain Mossiat, former proprietor of the seminal 1990's Namur cafe, Eblouissant.

Brewmaster David Pierce sent this photo to me a few months ago. Here is Dave's play by play:

I was cleaning out some old file drawers this weekend and came upon my old Tim Webb Good Beer Guide to Belgium. Matt Gould and Rick Buckman had borrowed it for their leg of the tour, 1996. The pic was a present for my 40th birthday.

A blast from the past, for sure. Here's to Moss the Boss ... again.
