According to LiveScience.com, archaeologists suggest that the quest for grains with which to brew drove early man into neighboring territories, and that beer was an important social lubricant, taking the anxiety out of early meetings between […]

We had our semi-periodic “Guys Weekend this weekend, and it was less than stellar, is a matter of fact it was downright crappy.  See we needed to complete a project.  Two of us were working for the other at the time so we thought, what a great excuse to head up to my buddy’s Sun […]

FAIL!!  No Dogfish Head Brews within 100 miles of Boise, Idaho!  If you are going to have a feature like this on your website, you would think you would be in all urban areas.  Otherwise SHUT UP about your off centered crap!   EDIT BY JIM: Here’s what happens when you do the same for […]

This weekend I am going on my Annual…scratch that, 18 month….scratch that, every once in a while…Nah, Once in a blue moon guys weekend with my two best friends Mike and Lance.  The last time we did this I made a big mistake.  I bought Wild Turkey Bourbon, which is a solid choice, but Mike […]

Hi, my name is Jim and I have a beer problem. It started out innocently enough.  On a whim, I purchased a Chimay Premiere (mostly because of the silly cork) and my mind was blown.  As a Bass drinker, I had no idea that beer could be so dizzyingly delicious. Suddenly, I realized there were […]

This is truly cool!  Take a look at the Rube Goldberg Contraption they have come up with.  Truly a work of art!

Well, has he let himself go?…or not?  It is kind of hard to tell in some cases, like that of Carrot Top.  He has made a career out of being “off”.  Just slightly out of sync with the rest of society.  But let’s face it he is good at it.  Carrot Top is perhaps one […]

It’s not easy being the worst at something. Spectacular failure doesn’t just happen –  it requires profoundly “not getting it” but still putting in a full effort. It takes an unflinching lack of talent and deeply misguided motives. Being the best at being bad means creating something so uniquely unpleasant that people take notice.  The […]

Here are 10 indications that your love of good beer might be crossing the line into beer snobbery. I think I’m guilty of a couple of these myself. Did I miss any? As always, please share below!

I stumbled across this gem over on Jay Brooks’ blog and just had to share it.  It’s a parody of the “I Am a Craft Brewer” video and is absolutely hilarious. Even better, by gently mocking the form, it should put an end to the I Am A Craft Brewer /Canadian Brewer/Homebrewer/Craft Beer Drinker/Craft Beer […]

Being a hipster must be exhausting.  You must ride the ever-changing line between geek and cool, unkempt and fashionable, organic and high-tech.  What was hiply-ironic last year may no longer cut it with the goodwill-blazer-with-an-iPhone 4G-in-the-pocket crowd this year. Take beer for example.  For a while now, the go-to brand for hipsters far and wide […]

Our most recent poll confirmed what we suspected.  Most beer drinkers prefer their brews from a tap but wind up with beer from bottles.  For the majority, craft beer on tap remains an occasional treat, something to look forward to and savor. More than 7 out of 10 folks who cast a vote said that […]

I posted yesterday about how excited I was to get BOO-zed this Halloween. It was an awesome surprise and one I want to share with as many folks as possible. With that in mind, I’ve put together this guide on how to “BOO-ze” your friends, complete with links to the “BOO-zed poem” which explains the […]
