I can’t hear the word ‘beer‘ without thinking back fondly of Frankenstein’s in Boston. Just one block’s trot from my student flat. I could eat dinner there for just $1. It was 1987, true, but $1? The hotdogs, the only food served in this funky bar, were ginormous (gigantic and enormous). The toppings were practically a meal…
