A Clockwork Orange was one of my favorite movies when I was in high school.  It had everything a teen lad could want: chaos, violence, sex and a cool language that I could parrot with my “droogs.” But what really made me love the movie was the core concept behind it – whether or not […]

There’s a fairly famous quote that’s often attributed to the character Cliff Clavin on Cheers, even if it never was on the show.  It’s called the Buffalo Theory and it goes like this: 

I’ve been under the weather lately with a bug that just won’t let go.  It started as a head cold, turned into a sinus thing, and then got bored with my nose and decided to check out my lungs.  It’s not anything that’ll kill me (I’m with Jim Henson on this), but it’s annoying to […]

I had a craft beer “a-ha’ moment this weekend, when my buddy Frank brought over a four pack of Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron. It’s been a couple of years since I’ve had one of these beers, and it struck me what a truly wonderful brew this is, and how it’s a testament to the […]

Happy Friday everybody!  We’ve seen a lot of new faces around here lately, so I thought it’d be fun to dust off some of our most-popular infographics for folks who haven’t seen them or would like to see them again.  They are a great way to goof around, no?  Enjoy, and happy Friday!

Well this just sucks.  I have it on good authority that Sam Calagione’s Brew Masters has been pulled from the air after just a handful of episodes.  It was good to see craft beer on TV while it lasted I guess. 

Our buddy John over at The Droid You Are Looking For brings the science on this one, with a series of infographics showing how his level of inebriation affects his willingness to watch different kinds of films.  The results are funny and very insightful.

Well the New Year is here, and I’m in the mood for change.  Not change for change’s sake, but change for the better.  Here’s how I plan on being a better, more sensible beer nerd in 2011: 

Milwaukee!  At least according to The Daily Beast, who recently published a list of America’s Top 40 Drunkest Cities.   Milwaukee residents drink about 13 adult beverages each month on average, nudging those teetotalers from Fargo, North Dakota by about four ounces of hooch a month.  It makes sense that Milwaukee is the winner as […]

It’s the end of the year, which means it’s the start of statistics season.  The first noteworthy report I’ve seen is from Mintel Intelligence, which highlights some interesting trends.  

It’s back to work today after a long holiday weekend, made longer by the two feet of snow that was dumped on my part of the world Sunday night.  Looks like that white Christmas I ordered arrived a day late.  No worries, as the kids and Daisy the Wonder Poodle had an awesome time playing […]

When we started this blog, I knew nothing about whiskey besides the fact that it all tasted like paint thinner, just different brands. But as Don kept posting whiskey reviews (remember when he used to do that? 🙂 ) I started to get curious. I tried Knob Creek and liked it, and I bought some […]

For many of us, today is the last day of work before the holiday, which means today is kind of like a Friday (just a really cool one).  With so much revelry ahead, we want to know how you’ll be celebrating and (of course) what you’ll be drinking. I’ll be enjoying be Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey, […]

I was reading an article on time.com about how smart and successful Sam Calagione is (of course) when I came across an interesting fact. Guess what the best selling “craft-style” beer is?  You’ll never guess, not in a bl…uh…never mind.
