It has been a couple of weeks now since our ungettables gathering in Boise at Brewforia, but there were so many great beers that I had a chance to try I may never get them all posted on this site.  There were however a few standouts that I need to get up here, because they […]

It is almost so long ago to be meaningless in our world today, but it deserves remembering that there once was a time in our country’s history when drinking a beer or a whiskey was a crime!  No other legislation in our nation’s history (with the possible exception of the 55 MPH speed limit)  has […]

It has been too long since I have paid proper attention to the title of this blog.  Afterall, it isn’t just a beer blog, no, it is a Beer and Whiskey blog!  I’ve been a little focused on beer lately, so I want to reclaim our whiskey readers!  I can think of no better way […]

It is hard to believe, but we hit two milestones in one day here at B&WB.  Not only did we get to expose a big beer industrial hack, but yesterday’s numbers gave us our best month since we began this site, and pushed us up and over the 500,000 visitor mark all time on the […]

I went to the Second Semi-Annual Ungettables Tasting at Brewforia last Monday evening.  It was an amazing time, and I got the chance to try some fantastic beers and some not so great beers from around the world.  This was an awesome event and some people really went all out bringing cases of different brews. […]

This is part two of our two part interview with Sam Calagione, founder and President of Dogfish Head Brewing in Milton, Delaware.  Sam gives us a brief look behind the curtain of what makes Sam, Sam.  His daily routine, what he is passionate about, how much he drinks, and a new beer that will be […]

I was given a bit of a treat the last time I was in Brewforia.  It was after the Stout dinner that celebrated International Stout Day earlier this month, and I had to work late.  I went in after work and had a bite to eat and a beer.  While I was drinking my Rogue Shakespeare […]

I wrote yesterday about an ungettable gathering I will be going to next week, and it got me thinking about the ungettables I have.  I thought I would go out to the bunker and see just what I had out there that could be classified as “Ungettable”.  When I did this I realized that there […]

Well it is November, and soon everyone’s attention will be focused on family gatherings, big meals, and shopping for presents.  And at this time of year a great amount of beer and whiskey is purchased and consumed, but it is rarely the focus of the gathering.  Instead it is Uncle Bernie and his fourth wife […]

Well here we are again.  I was in Brewforia Beer Market last week and happened across a bottle of Lost Abbey Witches Wit, and much to my surprise the very controversial label hasn’t been changed.  I thought when we discussed this before, over a year ago here on this blog, that this had been resolved.  Lost Abbey […]

Do you love your growler??  Do you love it so much you have more than one? Well that love is pretty universal among beer geeks, with the exception of the most unlikely of haters.  I’m talking about brewers.  By and large they hate serving their beer in growlers because of one thing… quality control.  In an article […]

Joe’s Pilsner is truly one of my favorite beers.  It is light and has a nice breadiness to it, with a good crisp slightly hoppy finish.  It is a great brew any time of the year and the fact that is is sold in cans makes it a total win win for me.  I’ve sung […]

I guess you could say that I got BOO-zed and Cigared for Halloween!  I got home late last night because I’ve been working on project that is due on Friday, and we are in our typical crunch time when we have a hard and fast deadline. When I got home I was tired and hungry, […]

Another List.  At least this time they didn’t try to rank them, but simply said these were their 25 favorite of the year.  I’ve had a few on the list, how many have you had?  Here is the article reprinted in its entirety from Draft Magazine. Top 25 beers of 2011 2011 saw an unprecedented […]
