Don Galligan…C’mon Down!  You’re the next sucker to buy this beer!  At least that is what I felt like after I opened the Boulevard Collaboration #1 Imperial Pilsner.  You know I had heard it from others saying they wouldn’t pay that much for a Pilsner, but I thought I knew so much more than them! […]

I was thinking about this just this morning as I’m sitting on the couch in the livingroom wanting to crack into my bottle of Fighting Cock Bourbon at 103 proof and I looked and it is 7:30 in the morning.  Probably not the right time to be hitting the hard stuff, but man would it […]

I thought it might be time to spice things up a bit around here.  Well how better to spice things up than to go a little edgy and show a bunch of drunks, and let you the reader give us comment and feedback!  I have a bunch of pics I’ve collected off the internet and […]

Stonehenge is full of mystery.  Massive stacked rocks that are clearly rough cut, and stacked to form a circle of precision.  Each of the boulders used to make the pillars and caps weigh between five and ten tons, and were placed here long before cranes and pulleys were invented, and since they don’t know the […]

A bar in Philadelphia has found a great way to incorporate beer into breakfast!  You gotta give this a try!  It looks amazing.  Having had the high ABV and big flavored Golden Monkey last week, I think this would be the perfect brunch drink!  This should give the Mimosa and the Bloody Mary a run for […]

I know it might sound funny for a guy with a drinking blog, but I really don’t drink that much.  Think about it, I might put up three or four posts a week about a beer or whiskey, and that is really all I typically drink.  Sometimes I might have a beer on the weekend, […]

This is it!  Never was I so happy to be eating a meal, and never was I so sad I did, than eating these little alien babies right here!  But let me start at the beginning.  I went down to New Orleans for work.  I was presenting at a conference about transportation planning, and once I […]

Here is the obstructed view I had of the stage at Mulate’s a New Orleans institution for Cajun food and fare.  I am in New Orleans for a national convention of planners and to give a presentation.  My presentation was completed on Sunday, so Monday and Tuesday are devoted to conference sessions, and well, getting […]

The other night I went out to a little Italian Bistro in of all places Clarkston, Washington.  For those of you that know Clarkston you know that comparing it to Venice, Italy is like comparing apples to race cars.  You can’t get farther away from the spirit of Italy than the small town of Clarkston, […]

I got this Message from my buddy Rick over at Brewforia Beer Market last night: “An unfortunate update on this issue. UPS and FedEx are both now refusing our shipments claiming that we are in violation of our contract because we were shipping beer to consumers. We are contiuning to fight this policy so we […]

Are you kidding me?  This is the best I can do?  Its pretty DARN good?  WTF?  Well let me tell you a little about my week, and perhaps you will cut me a little slack for this somewhat uninspired post.  OK, first I started my week by driving for about 8 hours through a spring […]

What happened?  IPAs used to be cool.  Their strong, bitter, in your face style was for the serious beer drinker.  Someone who wanted to wake up after a night out smelling of cigarettes and not sure who, or what was in the bed beside them.  What happened?…Indeed.  See we are becoming a nation of watered […]

You know, over at Thank Heaven for Beer they periodically post a picture and ask what kind of beer do these guys drink, and judging from this picture of the band Warrant back in the 80’s (their hair band heyday) I’d say Miller Lite.  See there is a bottle of Bacardi Black rum on the […]

Yes, I don’t know why, but I am down this morning with either a nasty case of food poisining, or the stomach flu.  I’m hoping it is just the 24 hour variety, whatever it is, but one half of Beer and Whiskey is out of commission.  I’ll be checking in periodically between trips to the […]

You know I love these stupid places.  I’ve seen the worlds largest buffalo somewhere in North Dakota…walked right under his testicles!  I’ve also made a pilgrimage to the worlds largest six pack  in LaCrosse, Wisconsin.  I have a picture of my wife and oldest son in a stroller, maybe that is why I can’t get him off […]
