Well the votes are still being cast as to who has the best beer state in the nation, but we thought we would give you an update as to where things stand right now.  If you try real hard these can change over the weekend, as it did with the State of Michigan who jumped from […]

And by “lost” I mean Lost, the 4 hour TV extravaganza that’s going to keep me up late Sunday night and make me feel a bit muddy come Monday morning.  It’s definitely in my plans, but I’m not going to a party or anything.  I’ll just chill out with the wifey at home and enjoy […]

Well Mr Gubna, Thanks for your service! Please don’t come back, and good luck with that library!  Well one thing you can say about the former gubna of Texas, and the former President of the US is he was a simple man.  What you saw was what you got!  A former drug addict, party boy […]

This is a conversation I’ve had with many beer nerds, and one that never seems to end in a conclusion.  What state produces the best beer? Now, where you live will make you a biased, I think.  I’m in Northern New Jersey (the part without lots of Snooki’s and The Situation’s running around), happily nestled […]

I found out something new on Saturday night.  I found out that 1) it is possible to judge a beer with only a single sip, and 2) some beers are so bad that they are not only judgable with one sip, but really don’t deserve the one sip they get.  Unfortunately that is the case […]

Here it is!  The first taste of the new collaboration brew between Victory, Stone, and Dogfish Head!  Enjoy.

Ladies and Gentlemen, are you ready to RUMBLLLLLLLLLLE?  This is our main event. In this corner, from Colorado, all the way from the Oskar Blues Brewery, Standing 6 inches tall and weighing in at 12 oz with an ABV of 5.2 we have Mama’s Little Yella “Take No Prisoners” Pils!  HHHAAAARRRAAA!  And in the far […]

Why do we love you?  Let me count the ways!  We love you because you send us free beer!  When we started this blog almost a year ago now, we used to say wouldn’t it be great if we could get free beer or whiskey from doing these reviews!  Well here it is!  And it […]

It’s been a little while since we’ve asked about you beer, whiskey and food-inspired plans for the weekend and that’s just not right! Time to get back to form. For me, I’m looking forward to tasting the latest creation from my friends over at Manor House Brewing (hit them up on Facebook here), one of […]

I don’t know why this has me so pumped up, but Draft Magazine has asked for people to tell them who their favorite beer bloggers are, and they’re getting lots of responses.  If you have a minute, head over there and check it out – there are several really awesome sites I hadn’t heard of […]

There are certain things in life that bring us joy, but we begin to take for granted. The first thing many of us might think of here is family, or possibly good health. These are two very important things indeed, and I’ve been fortunate enough in my life to have had good luck with both.  […]

I’m not sure how you all do it, but when it comes to beer drinking I’m a little adventurous until I get burned.  Buffalo Bills Brewery has produced a couple of beers that I have really enjoyed over the last few months.  I started with them with their pumpkin beer in October, which I really […]

Sometimes a beer becomes one of your favorites the moment it first hits your lips.  So was the case for Don when he first laid buds on Troegs Nugget Nectar. He was instantly smitten with the sweet peach-like hoppiness of the beer, and even left with some in his suitcase last time he visited New […]

Well, the winner is Jill, of course, because she get to try some awesome beer courtesy of B&WB.  For those of you who missed it, I asked our friends and readers to suggest a beer for my friend Jill, who loves wine and is open to trying an interesting craft brew.  Many great suggestions poured […]

I was thinking about this today as I drove into work.  Many, many macro beer drinkers choose one beer.  I won’t even call it their “go to beer”, because it is all they drink, so they aren’t going to anything they have arrived.  They have made their choice and decided that whatever swill is theirs, […]
