Starting with my beer brewing days back in Basking Ridge I have always been a big fan of good beers.  My taste has evolved from bringing Coors (it was a very good beer back then) back from Denver when you could not buy it here in the East to the strong micro-beers of today.

Birthday fun for Leslie at the Summit House in Summit. Nice clean upscale place without the really high prices.  I enjoyed my Duck but the pasta appetizer was excellent. The Aquerello Risotto with crushed peas, smoked ham, herb oil, parmesan was good but the best was the House-Made Campanelle with porcini, pickle peppers,  and harissa was excellent.After my bowling...
