Cinco de Mayo in NYC: Tuesday, May 5, 2009


Cinco De Mayo commemorates a Mexican military victory over the French in the Battle of Pueblo, on May 5, 1862. Somehow, 147 years later, it is become an excuse to party in the United States. Who are we to complain?
If you are concerned about so-called swine flu, remember: alcohol kills germs.

matured by secondary fermentatino in the container from which it is dispensed, and served without the use of extraneous carbon dioxide. Cask ale is also known as "cask-conditioned beer" or "Real Ale".
