Born in 1975, the product of two beautiful parents. Raised in West Baltimore—not quite The Wire, but sometimes ill all the same. Studied at the Mecca for some years in the mid-’90s. Emerged with a purpose, if not a degree. Slowly migrated up the East Coast with a baby and my beloved, until I reached the shores of Harlem. Wrote some stuff along the way.

Bring Me Beer Cont.

I had a Belgian IPA last night, following you guys' suggestion. Piraat. Went well with my catfish and potato salad from Slow's. Though I don't think that's what the Belgians had in mind. I had two, which I think was too much. No hangover, but I was loopy for the next two hours. Didn't like it as much as Dogfish--it was a little sweeter, as I recall. But it was good, and it had that fullness and body that I was looking for. I'd definitely drink one again.
