HAHA Jim, looks like this is here to stay!  Here is a link to the very brief write up by our buddy Adam over at Beernews.org. http://beernews.org/2012/02/pong-beer-planning-to-expand-distribution-across-20-states/

So this is what I feel like after the first round of the Great Whiskey Challenge of 2012.  See I got almost everything wrong based upon price, but based on flavor I still contend I’m spot on.  Here is how it broke down. Remember I said: All in all for those that are keeping score […]

This challenge was given to me from our friends up at Selkirk Abbey, the new all Belgian brewery in Post Falls, Idaho.  Remember Ron Wallace and Jeff Whitman sent this box along with a challenge for me.  Four whiskeys, 1 top Shelf, 2 mid shelf, and 1 decidedly pedestrian whiskey from the nether reaches of […]

Buckbean Brewing will be closing its doors forever at the end of this month.  February 29 will be the end of this brewery.  This was reported by Adam over at Beernews.org.  You can see his article here. Jim and I have warned about this before, and it looks as though the future is upon us. […]

Looks good!  Oskar Blues will enter into the 16 oz tallboy cans with their first run of Deviant Dales IPA.  This IPA uses Dale’s pale ale as their base then dry hops the shit out of it 4 different times during the brewing process, and then again at the end when it goes into the […]

I am so glad that New Belgium made this beer.  Why, you might ask?  Because this beer, more than any other that is available commercially from them, has restored my faith in the brewing chops at New Belgium.  This beer is an ale that is brewed with cocoa and spices and comes in at 9% […]

About a week ago when I got wind that Bud was going to make their big launch of Platinum during the Super Bowl, I thought it was a risky and short sighted plan.  Sure you would get a lot of eyes on the screen, but the Weego commercial is where Bud Light drinkers live, not […]

Ok, go ahead, call me a liar.  Not two days ago I said how I don’t drink beers out of season and here I am about to wax poetic about an absolutely beautiful IPA.  But here goes.  About two weeks ago I went to a dinner pairing event at Brewforia.  This event featured several stellar […]

Those guys at Breckenridge are up to their old shenanigans.  Good one guys!

We all know that there is a certain order to things in the beer world, and to a lesser extent in the whiskey world as well.  For beer, Barleywines are a harbinger of spring time, IPAs make a big slpash in summer as do Saisons.  Fall leads to Marzen and Pumpking Brews and Winter is […]

Time does change many things, but here is to hoping that time won’t change a thing about Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey.  There have been a lot of internal changes taking place at Stranahan’s.  A while back they were bought out by a multi-national conglomerate in the spirits industry called Proximo Beverage.  Then they contracted into just […]

This is kind of fun.  Use you initials to find your blues name.  Mine is Old Harp Jones.  I wonder if that meand I’m a big fan of Harp Lager.  Perhaps I should try one someday. It is simple choose your first initial from the first list second from the second, etc. Let me know […]

This is a hip x-ray.  Why would I be showing a hip x-ray on a beer and whiskey blog?  Well, because it happens to mean a lot to Jim and I right now.  Our Mother who is now flying solo since Dad’s exit from this mortal coil in August, is in need of a new […]

January 16 1920.  The Puritans have run wild with power and have control of the Government of the United States, The Congress, the Judicial Branch, and the White House are all occupied by people who think they know what is best for everyone else. Today is the 92nd anniversary of Prohibition in the United States.  Never […]

Should only be a few weeks until you see these bad boys on the shelf!  Love to see more good beer in cans.  Suppose we’ll every see 60 or 90 minute in cans?  Sam says no, but I’m not so sure.  I’ll bet Sam Adams is next. Thoughts?
