I start this post with the Alaskan IPA label because I sampled the Cordova bar scene for the first time this evening. Luckily, my neighbor invited me into the members-only Moose Lodge where I witnessed the dynamics of small-town bars. I learned that 1. Alaskans are very proud of their home-brewed beer from Juneau; 2. women, the odds are in your favor to have a drink bought for you in Cordova's bars; 3. Zwack, a Hungarian liqueur reminiscent of Jager but better, tastes much better without the Monster; and 4. local folks will generously buy you a beer on your birthday : )
Prompted by a forced departure from my corporate job (read, laid off), I embarked on an adventure in 2009. This blog is a snapshot of my past year and a half, working and living in the fjords of Chile, in the historic goldmining area of Shasta, California, and in the fishing town of Cordova, Alaska.
