If you are reading this now, chances are pretty good you have heard about, but not tasted, the English Ale "OLD SPECKLED HEN".  It is finally available in Boise,  at The Front Door, at 6th and Main, and the Bull's Head Pub at Eagle Rd and Fairview.  This is the beer brewed especially for, and across from the MG factory in Abingdon, England.  Tell the barkeep IBCC sent you! 

Last week (July 30th) we returned from a really nice vacation that we spent on the coast of Washington with Ed and Michele Hubbard and Rod and Becky Nichols. It was a great trip-- no tickets, no break downs and very nice weather. Had the hood down for all but 30 miles after we crossed the Cascades when it “misted.” The cooler temps were a RELIEF, we had 100 F here in Idaho and the 65-75 F on the coast was wonderful!  We left Boise on Sunday morning the 22nd and drove to John Day. As we were stopping for lunch in John Day who did we run into but a couple of wayward travelers returning from an MG gathering in California, Bob and Kim Doc! What a surprise that was! After we said goodbye and ate our lunch, we headed on up to Pendleton on some very nice back-country roads, staying in the mountains until we got close to Pendleton.
