A little about the Brew
and Chew Guys. From left to right: Gray was an FBI Agent who now enjoys keeping
an old Cape Cod cottage in good repair. Jim was in the food services
industry and now volunteers his time with the Knights of Columbus. Ken
was a veterinarian and has the best self-landscaped yard in our town.
Charlie was in engineering professional services and is an avid home brewer
The ladies in the back
row were the inspiration for BridgeToBeer! All of us have been friends
and neighbors for over three decades.
For quite some time the
girls met in the early evening to play bridge, leaving us on occasion to fend
for ourselves for dinner. We dined creatively on leftovers, pizza, maybe a
beer, coke or a coffee.
Before we realized what
had happened, we were all retired, and evening bridge became
lunchtime bridge. Our brigade of PB&J sandwiches began!
It was then that we had our eureka moment....Why don't we meet up for lunch while the girls are playing cards. And so it began!!

After our first few
lunches where we shared our thoughts amongst ourselves regarding the food, the
beer and the establishment itself, we randomly thought others would enjoy
hearing from four retired guys like us. Charlie mentioned that he could
build a blog for us and every month we could add a post summarizing the
establishment we had just visited. We all agreed and soon thereafter www.bridgetobeer.com
was born.
Our requirements for the
establishments we visited were simply that their menus needed to have a great
or specialized selection of reasonably priced foods and offer craft beers that
pair well with their food offerings.
