Ho ho ho, it’s starting to snow! WordPress has this feature where you can make it snow on your blog. Seeing as it’s the week of Christmas, I decided to turn it on. I think it’s kind of cool how you can swish it around with your mouse, but also kind of annoying. We don’t […]
Christmas is a time for giving, and this weekend I learned just how nice it feels to give someone a special beer, even someone who drinks Budweiser.
I have a confession to make. I’ve never had a beer from the Brooklyn Brewery that made me go “wow.” Actually, the other night at my company holiday party I had a Brooklyn Pilsner and a Brooklyn IPA, and both made me go “meh.” I respect the heck out of Brooklyn brew master Garret Oliver […]
I’ll admit I like dining at TGi Friday’s. I love their tostado nachos and they make a good burger. And now I like them even better, as Denver’s Westword reports that TGI Friday’s is testing a beer pairing menu in their South Aurora, Colorado location featuring a handful of selections from New Belgium Brewing. Now, […]
The Victory Brewing Company most people know from the shelves of their local beer store offers a solid line up of big character beers. They don’t do many limited-release highly hyped beers, but the variety and the quality of their everyday beers are as good or better than just about any brewery out there. Solid, […]

Well, the holidays are upon us and Don and I took to our microphones to create a special holiday edition of the Beer and Whiskey Brothers podcast. Listen in as we review a few seasonal beers (and I bitch about them), Don reviews one of his favorite holiday whiskeys, and we talk about the stuff […]
Like all beer lovers, I’ve hit a patch where I’m trying to lay off of the nectar of the gods for a bit, and I’ll be honest – it’s the hardest it’s ever been. As you might recall, I broke my toe a few weeks ago, which kept me from working out for a few […]
Voodoo Brewery, owners of the worst website in all craft beerdom, must be working their black magic on me, because I keep buying and enjoying their beers. First it was their Big Black Voodoo Daddy, a powerful and well-crafted imperial stout that managed to be huge on flavor but still very drinkable. It let me […]
We all have that crazy friend, the one that talks too loud at the bar and swears too much in front of our mom. Well, this blog has such a friend, and his name is Daniel. To quote “A Christmas Story,” Daniel works in profanity the way other artists work in oil or clay. And […]
Yesterday I posted about the evolution of the beer geek. At the top of the evolutionary chain sits Geeko Sapien, the experienced and open minded craft beer drinker who doesn’t take him/herself too seriously. I like to think I’m a Geeko Sapien, but just because I might be at the top of the evolutionary ladder […]
‘Tis the season for sites like ours to come up with lists of holiday gifts for your favorite beer nerd. I’ve never done one of these, and for good reason – they’re usually full of stuff I don’t want. Instead, there are chintzy brew at home kits, books about beer, clever bottle openers and a […]
We’re excited to be Foodista.com’s “Featured Drink Blog of the Day.” We’re also a little bit intimidated. What are we going to do with all the foodies who click the link and show up here? Actually, they’re probably here right now, reading this! Okay, let’s not panic. To start, we should show them that beer […]
Last week, I wondered if “Brew Masters,” the new Discovery show starring Dogfish Head’s Sam Calagione, would last. The first show was more infomercial than excitement, and the whole premise felt stale. Still, I held out hope that the show would be much better once Sam started traveling around the world. I am happy […]
