About Beer Tap Tales: Confessions of a New Hampshire Barkeep by Jack Blindt
Desperate to escape a threatening client in Virginia in 1977, Teddy ditches his social work job and moves to rural New Hampshire. This slightly apprehensive young man has no idea that he’ll soon be coping with even more maddening people when he opens a pub.
What could go wrong with running a pub full of crazy, law-breaking customers? The answers lie in these darkly humorous stories of misadventures. Often clearly not in charge, he survives the storms by going with the flow. He wants to strike back at some of the worst characters, but will he follow through?
Grab a beer and take a seat in one of his rough-cut pine booths as the action unfolds in these humorous and sometimes uncomfortable situations. No guarantee against splinters.

Jack Blindt was born in Newark, New Jersey, and grew up in Millburn and Springfield, NJ. In 1969 he graduated from Missouri Valley College. He worked for several years as a social worker in Newark, NJ. After attempting grad school in Virginia, he took a social work job in Culpeper, Va.
Then it all changed. He spent the six craziest years of his life (‘77 – ‘83) running a pub in rural New Hampshire. He was ill-equipped to deal with the challenging customers, but he emerged a bit wiser from the ordeal.
In 1983, he moved to Elizabeth City, North Carolina where he ran Betsy Tooley’s Deli. Five years later he opened The Sandwich Market, but this time he gave up on selling beer.
He retired in 2016 and read his old journals from those years. They triggered his imagination, leading him to compile these stories and essays.
