Craig Schrolucke and Alexis Larsen are good buddies who love a trendy hot spot as much as they do a worn out hole in the wall provided the service is as good as the items being served up. They also love bar talk and all that it entails and are more than happy to belly up to this bar blog and do just that.

Boston’s hoping for a third “Most Arrogant Bar in America” win
Boston’s Bistro & Pub, 7500 N. Main St., Dayton, is proud to have nabbed the title “Most Arrogant Bar in America” not once, but twice. Still, owner Dave Boston is hoping 2009 proves that the third time really is the charm.
The national award bestowed by Escondido, Calif., brewer Stone Brewing Co. goes to the bar or pub that sells the most Arrogant Bastard Ale in the country.
This year’s competition will be held Nov. 7-13. And this time around, patrons won’t just be drinking to help with a title, they’ll be drinking for a good cause. Boston will be donating some of the profits from the sales of ABA to the Diabetes Association of the Dayton Area — 50 cents for every $2.50 Imperial Pint sold and $1 for every $9 pitcher of ABA sold.
This year, growlers don’t count — the beer has to be consumed at Boston’s. But daily food specials and events should help add incentive to stick around. Event highlights include a midnight kick off on Friday, Nov. 6, live entertainment throughout the week including music by the Skilless Villains, Jim Jennings, Nick Mitchell and Magic Jackson; and a “Smart Bier Trivia” contest Wednesday, Nov. 11. For more information, visit www.bostonsbistro.com or call (937) 461-1002.

Boston’s is a good place to go if you’re looking to explore craft beer. The bartenders (and patrons too) can help you find something you’ll enjoy. Arrogant Bastard’s a great beer but it might not be the first choice for someone used to Bud and Miller.
