I’ve been drinking a lot of Dale’s Pale Ale lately, using it to soothe my gimpy back. Last night I found myself up in the mancave with a can of Dale’s and no glass. Now, I’m fanatical about using glassware when drinking beer, and have been known to take a bottle out of someone’s hand [...]
If pop culture has taught us anything, it’s that pretty people always win and the zombie apocalypse is inevitable. The rules of zombie behavior have been well established (most recently by AMC’s The Walking Dead) and survival guides are everywhere. But what these guides fail to mention is how to survive in style, most notably, [...]
Many brewers decide to “go big” when crafting an anniversary beer, but Victory Brewing Company has decided to “go wide.” Instead of crafting a rare and complex brew to celebrate their 15th anniversary, Victory has decided to stand behind what makes them great – crafting delicious beers that most anyone will love while supporting their [...]
With Turkey Day right around the corner, now is the time to start thinking about what beers you’ll be enjoying on the greatest feast day of the year. Instead of just focusing on what to serve alongside your turkey (or deep-fried turducken if you’re Don), let’s break it down to three distinct courses: Before Dinner, [...]
A stretch beer is an important weapon in any beer nerd’s arsenal. It’s the brew you buy to make the good stuff “stretch” a little bit further, saving you money and preserving your fancier beers for when you can really enjoy them.
It seems Oskar Blues has the tiger by the tail, or sticking with our theme here, the great white shark by the caudal fin. They recently pulled out of Idaho and seven other states because they can’t keep up with demand in other (apparently more important) markets. Don cries about this in our latest podcast, [...]

As you all know by now, if you read this site, Oskar Blues is pulling out of Idaho. I learned this on Friday morning, and Friday afternoon I went to my local beer store and cleaned them out of Dales Pale Ale and Old Chub. So long OB, at least I got a few before [...]
And by “lost” I mean Lost, the 4 hour TV extravaganza that’s going to keep me up late Sunday night and make me feel a bit muddy come Monday morning. It’s definitely in my plans, but I’m not going to a party or anything. I’ll just chill out with the wifey at home and enjoy [...]
I’m quite the creature of habit, and I usually like to stick to a routine. When it comes to beer, the rule is that I usually don’t drink any during the week, and imbibe on the weekends. Now the former rule is one that is broken regularly (I’ll have a beer after a rough day [...]
Well, it’s the first weekend after all the holiday madness, and I have to admit, I’m a little pickled. I took the week off between Christmas and New Years and enjoyed my lack of responsibility with quite a bit of (mostly) responsible drinking. Lots of beer and a good deal of whiskey as well. [...]
Well the last non-holiday weekend of the year is upon us, and with the Jags losing to the Colts (yea Colts!), my Jets are still mathematically alive in the playoff hunt. They just have to beat the Falcons and the Colts (boo Colts!) and the Bengals back-to-back-to-back. Simple, right? Anyway, it’s probably the last normal [...]
I’m still playing with the new video cam, and took the opportunity to try a Dale’s Pale Ale from the can for the first time. Check out the review below, and thanks to 52 Brews for turning me on to this beer! Have you tried this stuff?
