Well May 21st has come and gone on all corners of the globe now, and SURPRISE! Nothing happened.  Yes, someone had many people fooled into thinking that the end was near, and the Rapture would begin.  Guess what, he was WRONG.  Now I know you are just about as surprised as I was when May […]

I’m not sure why I find this vaguely insulting, but I do.  Carlsberg Brewery has launched a new beer called Copenhagen they say is tailored to the tastes of women (and “stylish” men).  It has been crafted specifically for those who don’t like the bitterness of beer, which sounds like code for “those who don’t […]

This happened over a week ago and I still haven’t figured out how something so weird got into my beer. Here’s the sequence of events: 

If you’re a regular in these parts, you know we don’t shill for the man but we do support the stuff that we love.  I’ve recently added beer-inspired Brubar Energy Bars to the “stuff we love” category after getting a few freebies to try from Christian D’Souza, Mr. Brubar himself. I reviewed the bars on […]

I’ll admit it – I think Justin Timberlake is hilarious when he pops onto Saturday Night Live.  He has immaculate comedic timing and doesn’t seem to mind making a fool of himself. 

There are  lots of breakfast themed beers out there for us beer geeks.  There’s Mikkeller’s Beer Geek Breakfast, Founder’s tasty Breakfast Stout, and even a New Zealand cherry lager that was brewed to compliment your morning meal. Unfortunately, things can get complicated if you actually try to enjoy them at the start of the day, […]

This prediction of the Rapture on May 21st is having a really interesting and kind of comical impact on the Beer and Whiskey Brother’s Blog.  You see about a year ago I did a review of Lost Abbey’s beer Judgement Day.  It is a very raisiny sweet stout with virtually no carbonation.  I believe the […]

You know Jim has been crazy this week, and I’m taking the reigns.  So I don’t care if he likes it or not, but a 4:30 Video seems to be just the ticket to make it through the rest of the day this week!  So without further adieu the Red Rocker himself…

Vermont is for Lovers and people with a heavy sweet tooth.  Dieters and the color blind miss out on a lot the state has to offer.  One of Vermont’s finest contributions to every day life is their maple syrup.  That, and there are some pretty good breweries up there too.  But last night I was transported in […]

It is gonna be a whiskey kind of night tonight!  Enjoy.

Out with the wordy and in with the…well, less wordy.  I’m a little puzzled.  Maybe it is because Jack Daniels hadn’t changed their label in like forever, but why exactly is this news worthy?  They have just cleaned it up a bit.  They took off the line about Lem Motlow being the proprietor, I suppose […]

I know I’ve posted this before, but I need this one to get me through my day!  A little SKA from Reel Big Fish.  This is off their new DVD titled very originally “Live, In Concert!”

To take off on my Brother’s theme today I ended up doing an “Accidental Share” this weekend, and it felt really good.  This story has a weird origin.  My wife was in the garden and couldn’t get our irrigation working.  This is not a new development as our pressurized irrigation water from the canal out back seems […]

So this happened.  Friday night I was dipping into my wife’s hoard of Dragon’s Milk and watching the movie Kick Ass.  I was having a great time – the beer was delicious and the movie was fun for what it was.  It had been a CRAZY week, so kicking back with a good beer was […]

My wife is awesome.  Last night she popped into our local beer store, which has recently begun to offer a limited selection of craft beers.  There she found six bottles of New Holland Dragon’s Milk, one of our all time favorites, and a beer that’s been tough to get lately.  So what did she do?
