I’ll admit that I have a guilty pleasure – snarky pop culture blogs like WWTDD and The Superficial.  I’m not sure why Tom Cruise gay rumors or the downward spiral of Lindsay Lohan capture my attention, but I like to think it’s because I’m a vapid American who prefers to fill his head with junk […]

This isn’t going to help keep our egos in check.  Don and I have been profiled on the site UncleBoise.com, where writer Crandal Bourdeaux does a great job of reviewing B&WB and sharing how Don and I got our start. Here’s a little taste:

I can’t believe that Saturday’s freak snowstorm on the east coast has left thousands of homes in the dark STILL!  With over 19 inches of wet and heavy snow falling in parts of Northern New Jersey over 600,000 homes were impacted, and this includes my better half on this blog,Jim.  He didn’t have power Saturday […]

It seems like just a couple months ago when we were inundated with legal actions within the world of craft beer that just served to weaken companies that were responsible for the craft beer movement.  We were “eating our young” as it were with craft beer companies suing each other over beer names, employees, labels, […]

This morning on my way into work I had to make a quick WalMart run.  My wife has been couponing to save our family $$ and she made a run to WalMart yesterday, and had a few things she forgot so sent me this morning on my way into work.  As I was making my […]

News out of the Europe is that SABMiller is launching an authentic line of Belgian craft beers after inking a distribution agreement with the Van Steenberge brewery in Ertvelde, Belgium, and the Saint Stefanus monastery. The beers will be offered in select markets (no word on US distribution yet) under the St. Stefanus label, the namesake […]

. . I’ve seen this link floating around the Interwebs lately, but didn’t click on it until this morning – this is totally nuts! Some dude with too much money, talent, time and technical skills wired his entire house to “sing” This is Halloween from The Nightmare Before Christmas.  You gotta see it to believe […]

Well you know how much we love lists around these parts, like not at all.  But this is a bit different than some of the other lists that have been put out there before.  The World Beer awards have come out for 2011, and these are a bit more unique than some of the other […]

If you’re like me, then you have certain must-have beers that mark the holiday season.  And if your must-have beers are seasonal brews, you know that you must strike while the shelves are full to ensure you have what you need when those special days roll around.  For me, the holiday beer hoarding just began […]

. . Ever wonder how the more-huggable of the bros spends his afternoons (when he should be here, fielding your comments)?  Well, this might answer that question. What is it with this site and bears, anyway?! . . .

When it comes to gender, our readership is a little lopsided.  Of the 12,000 or so folks who came through the site over the past month, 68% of our were dudes and 32% were ladies.  This is a bit less balanced than other spirits-related blogs, which tend to be about 55% men to 45% women.  […]

That’s right, Mad Men’s Red Headed Bombshell thinks that scotch whisky is sexy.  It was one of the things that attracted here to her husband, Geoffrey Arend.  He ordered Scotch when they were out on a date, and she thought that was sexy.  I’d say it worked out well for Mr Arend!  You would never guess […]

Sometimes it is good to have well connected friends.  I went to Brewforia for lunch today and my buddy Rick who owns the placehad a friend drop this baby off for him a couple weeks ago.  I had heard that there can be a lot of issues with Pliny if it is too old.  Not […]

Here’s something you don’t see every day.  It seems the old shelves at Superior Wine in Sheboygan, Wisconsin couldn’t handle the weight of the wine that was laden upon them, so they decided to give up in quite a spectacular fashion. The security footage shows what is essentially a flood of wine and champagne sweep […]

Ever wondered what would happen if you tied your trusty chainsaw to a rope and swung it around your head to trim your hedges?  Well wonder no more! From the looks of this video, it appears that you’d lose a leg one-out-of-three times you attempted it, which means this genius only has two more tries […]
