Lets go surfin’ now, everybody’s learnin’ how come on and safari with meeee… Man am I ready for Summer!  More so than just about any winter than I can remember I’m wanting to shed the layers of clothing and put on a pair of shorts and a tee shirt and head out into the warm […]

What kind of brew would name themselves after the devil?  That is what I had to ask myself when I decided to pick up and Avery Brewing Mephistopheles Stout.  I mean after all you might just loose many of your potential customers just based on the name alone, then I opened my bottle last night […]

This is Lemmy Kilmister the founder,  Lead Singer,  and Bassist for the heavy metal band Motorhead.  He is a self proclaimed rocker that lives the rock-n-roll lifestyle.  This includes a fifth of Jack Daniels a day, his chosen drink.  And frankly this is an image that has been hard for JD to shake.  They are […]

So it is Friday once again, and it has been a busy week here at Beer and Whiskey Brothers.  We’ve been traveling and setting up new adventures in home brewing.  This is the last weekend for the Olympics for the next two years, four if you only watch the winter games.  I have my youngest […]

I’m done!  It was a huge day of client and public interaction.  My job requires me to put together and conduct Public meetings.  It is exhausting and I am spent!  The meeting went from 4-7pm, so I was there at 2:30pm setting up, after a morning of working.  I conducted the meeting from 4-7, then […]

Here I am back at the Super 8 Motel in Grangeville, Idaho.  And I’m sure you all will notice that this time I have a respectable glass!  Not using the plastic Super 8 cup this time.  Well there is a story behind this glass.  See I took some heat from you all last week when […]

This is the time of year that I begin to think about spring and summer.  Jim just posted about the Long Cold Winter last week, and when I went outside this morning and it was 25 degrees out, I began to think about summer and as much as I complain about the heat, I love […]

I had a proposition this weekend that made me start thinking whether or not I should begin to home brew.  First of all let me say that I had a pretty good weekend.  Saturday I started off the day by going to work, but then I came home and my wife and I took our […]

We all know that life is full of bargains.  Some are real, and others are perceived but here I want to define it a little for us .  I’m thinking of a beer that cost less than $2.00 for a standard 12 oz bottle or under $5 for a bomber, and a whiskey that costs […]

Well here we go again.  I’m in Grangeville, Idaho on business and I’m again in the hotel watching sports and eating my dinner by myself.  I just hate to sit in a restaurant by myself and eat a dinner alone.  It is depressing, so I have gotten rather good at adapting.  Does the hotel room […]

You know we could all learn something from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.  Here is the evil queen and her magic mirror who always had to tell her that she wasn’t the fairest one of all.  Well DUH! Anyone could see that except the person themselves.  It is amazing how many people think they […]

Who doesn’t remember the rollicking antics of Joey, that lovable dolt from the hit show Friends?  Well, I don’t for one.  It made it two seasons, and I think I watched about 10 minutes of one episode.  When Hollywood has a hit show that has run its course they try to spin off a character […]

Well the 2009-2010 NFL football season has ended.  So I know many guys, in particular, will be wandering around the house on Sunday wondering what to do.  Well fortunately for us this year there are some good options to get us over the hump from the lack of massive contact sport watching.  First and foremost […]

I’ve always regretted that I have never read Catcher in the Rye.  I don’t even really know much about the plot of the book at all.  Stuff happens.  I’m betting bad stuff.  Somehow I got through 12 years of primary education and eight years of college without it being required reading.  If you know much about me, I […]

Monks, by and large, are an interesting lot.  Perhaps it is only because we see their antics and are not acquainted with their everyday lives that I think that, but the things they have come up with for entertainment certainly are interesting.  This is a picture of Buddhist Monks holding four spears that are supporting another […]
