Congrats to Mark Gawlak, our top-notch bartender at Porter's open mic. He and his partners have officially begun brewing and selling their beer. Ask about the beer on tap, "Strict Scrutiny", which has a nice malt character, easy to drink and refreshing with a little bit of roastiness to balance it out.

George Woods ( https://georgewoodsmusic.com/ ) put on a really cool event. What a great concept. It was a room/roofdeck filled with musical talent of all sorts. He had solo/acoustic performers as well as groups/bands/hip-hop rappers. In the audience were also folks that record, mix, and produce music. The venue was Dorchester Brewing Company which also houses BBQ amazingness, by Marion & Maurice. The shredded brisket was just killer. The Brewery has a rooftop space mixed with covered performance space plus outdoor patio with stellar view of Boston.
It's June... here we go summer! ~ TIMKO
