VIDEO – We are really lucky to have such a killer beer bar within a short drive of us and our Inn. So we were admittedly nervous when started hearing rumors of “the Dove” being sold. I am sure all of the Moan and Dove regulars shared our sigh of relief when we heard that the bar was being sold to Jason “Di-Cap” DiCaprio, long time bartender and generally awesome guy.
So as of last night, it’s official. After nearly a year of disasters, where everything that could go wrong did – the Moan and Dove has now officially changed hands. The previous owner, Daniel, has moved on to the city (Boston) and has opened a new beer bar in the old b-side lounge which we can’t wait to check out.
We stopped into the extremely crowded Moan and Dove for the “changing of the guard” celebration and shot this quick video with our flip video camera (hence the less than wonderful quality). It was great to see the area beer community out in support of Di-Cap and the Dove.
In the video Jason shares his story about his history at the Dove and the transfer of ownership. He also emphasizes that the Moan and Dove is what it is because of the wonderful and passionate beer community that makes it possible.
Congratulations Jason from us at here for the beer. We look forward to many great pints (and eventually earning our mugs) at the Moan and Dove. Cheers!

So this is the first beer I am going to review. Basically I was at the Moan and Dove the other night and finally decided to jump in on their killer mug club. By killer I mean that if you finish it, you are lucky to be alive. Especially after a few “warm and crappys”. But I’ll save that for another post.
Looking at the list, I noticed that I had already tried many of the beers on there. I also realized that I didn’t remember many of them. So I figured what better time to start keeping track of what I am drinking.
That being said, I had a small “beer review” revelation that same night (what a night) and decided that I was going to do something different. I would suggest you check out the about our beer reviews page for the full story.
So as for the Affligem Tripel – it was one hell of a beer to start the list off with. Luckily I was splitting this with another mug club contender (his third time through – god bless him). The beer was tasty as hell, good combo of sweet and spicy. Dangerously easy drinking because I figure it has a pretty high ABV. Certainly a sipper – but a bargain of sorts at $15 for 25.4 oz or 750 ml for you metric folks. Tripels are tasty and this one didn’t disappoint. Try it.
