The Retired Guys went out on Wednesday this week because of the snowstorm experienced in our area yesterday, our normal outing day. Just another proof that these two older "gentlemen" are still flexible but also that we have a lot of openings in our schedule! This is the last of our "makeup" outings (caused by Terry's vacation) which gets us back on schedule and sets us up to resume every odd numbered Tuesday of the month for our Beer Afternoons. For the past month we've been going out every week to catch up and, truth be told, I've come to enjoy the weekly outings.
Today we visited Beanie's Bar & Grill in Mount Joy, PA and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We were taken care of by Kelly who had a bar full of patrons and still could find the time to talk with each of her customers. She is a young lady who continuously showed that she enjoyed her job. From our experience this bar was without question the busiest we have visited at 3:00 PM!
The facility housing Beanie's is another Lancaster County location utilizing a 150+ year old building which has been reported to have its share of (friendly) ghosts/apparitions. To see more about these mysterious folks (I don't think they are customers) read the story attached to this link.
Beanie's had 10 draft beers on tap with two of them being of the "light" variety. There was a fridge with another wide selection of 6 packs available for the person who felt the need to continue their hobby after leaving the bar. Both of us had no trouble selecting a beer to our liking. One of my selections was a "Molson Canadian" beer that brought back memories of my formative years attending college in Canada.
Recently Terry and I added a task to sample an appetizer at each of the bars we visit and today there was a wide selection to choose from. In order to get the best experience we chose "The Sampler" which provided us with, you guessed it, a selection of many appetizers. Each of them was very good so in our experience we'd say you can't make a mistake in choosing any single one of the appetizers.
We heard that Beanie's is known for its wings. We found out that incredibly, they have over 100 selections of wings! We suggested they create a punch card system that would allow customers to prove they have ordered all of them to get their name recorded and perhaps be allowed to acquire a t-shirt attesting to the accomplishment. Perhaps, another Retired Guys quest?
