I’m so sick of talking about BrewDog’s The End of History, it’s like a nightmare I can’t get out of.  But in for a penny, in for a pound as they say. News is spreading across the Interwebs that a Dutch brewery whose name I’m not going to try to type or pronounce (it’s even […]

Actually, it’s more like a friendly conversation, but I love a good dust up so I went big on the headline. Ryan over at The 1000 Beer Year recently posted a very nice counterpoint to my piece on the whole BrewDog End of History thing.  He makes some very good arguments which you’ll probably agree […]

This is the best chicken in the world, and the easiest one to make too!  All you need is a grill, a can, some beer, and spices.  I have a gas grill, so I have to have enough propane to last for approximately 1.5 hours of cook time.  All you do is get a whole […]

I found this over at theoatmeal.com.  There are some interesting facts and it’s pretty funny.  I especially like the pilgrim facts and the Zappa quote. Enjoy! Click here for 20 Things Worth Knowing About Beer

Around these parts when people say Snoqualmie this is the image that is conjured up.  Feet and feet of snow shutting down the pass on I-90 east of Seattle in the Cascade Mountain range.  But there is another Snoqualmie in these parts now, and with any luck it will put far better images into your […]

There are lots of folks who want to brew beer for a living.  For some it’s a pipe dream, for others it’s an organized goal.  For the folks at Manor House Brewing, it’s a calling. This struck me like a ton of bricks when I sampled their Cannonball Reserve, a Belgian Strong Ale that absolutely […]

First it was penguins, then it was battleships, then stuffed squirrels, now tattoos? Seems the guys over at BrewDog are again in a bit of hot water for encouraging irresponsible drinking.  They are about to open their first brewpub in Aberdeen, Scotland in September.  They are planning to have a tattoo artist on hand for […]

We don’t typically break news here, and in a way, the trend continues.  There’s nothing to see here folks. There have been rumblings of late that The Boston Beer Company, the makers of Sam Adams, have been trying to purchase Victory Brewing Company.  It turns out the rumors are just that – rumors. I have […]

Yesterday I wrote about a nice little brewery locator furnished by the Beer of the Month Club.  Well, the Beer Mapping Project makes that seem so 1997! The Beer Mapping Project is a deep, almost endless resource of breweries, brew pubs and top notch liquor stores all mapped out precisely on Google maps.  It’s a […]

Peter from SimplyBeer recently pointed me to a beer of the month club he really likes.  Turns out it’s the same one I had bad luck with earlier in the year, but I think he signed up for a much better program than I did, and he received much better beer as a result.  I’ll […]

The attention-craving brewers at BrewDog have now completely confirmed my suspicions – they care more about media attention than brewing great beer. It started with Tactical Nuclear Penguin, a 32% ABV brew that tasted like paint thinner poured into a poorly brewed stout.  This “zany” big brew got them all sorts of attention in the […]

The following is Part 4 of a five part story about how Don and I almost landed a TV show on Discovery. It’s a long tale so I’ve broken it into a few “chapters.”  Follow the links for Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.  I’ll be posting the final installment tomorrow.  Enjoy!  Part 4: […]

Hit the link below to pop over to iTunes and download our first attempt at our podcast, which we’re calling the Invisible TV Show.  We promise it’s good for a few laughs, and […]

Well as some of you know last week we began our podcasting for the Beer and Whiskey Brothers.  The shows will be available soon through iTunes but there is a bit of a delay because iTunes has to listen to and approve the first one, then we should be able to post immediately after they […]
