The following is Part 3 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 and Part 2.  I’ll be posting another installment tomorrow.  Enjoy! Part 3: Action! The next […]

The following is Part 2 of a five part story about how Don and I almost landed a TV show on Discovery. It’s a long tale (sometimes the good ones are) so I’ve broken it into a few “chapters.” You can find Part 1 here.  Enjoy! Part 2: The Road To Victory Don and I […]

The following is Part 1 of a five part story about how Don and I almost landed a TV show on Discovery. It’s a long tale (sometimes the good ones are) so I’ve broken it into a few “chapters.” I’ll be posting an installment each day until the story is complete.  Enjoy! Part 1: The […]

The above image is not me, or Jim, because Jim is still on his long weekend.  But it could be given the way I feel right now.  I need a weekend to recover from my weekend.  I, however, am back.  So I have Total Blog Domination for the next two days!  Mwahhaha!  So what should […]

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 […]

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 […]

Don and I recently visited the Victory Brewing Company in Downingtown, PA and had a beer-soaked blast.  I was thinking about our trip over the weekend while enjoying a growler full of Victory Storm King I picked up at the brewery, and came to the conclusion that every beer nerd in America needs to visit […]

I know it might sound funny for a guy with a drinking blog, but I really don’t drink that much.  Think about it, I might put up three or four posts a week about a beer or whiskey, and that is really all I typically drink.  Sometimes I might have a beer on the weekend, […]

This is it!  Never was I so happy to be eating a meal, and never was I so sad I did, than eating these little alien babies right here!  But let me start at the beginning.  I went down to New Orleans for work.  I was presenting at a conference about transportation planning, and once I […]

Of the many places Don and I saw while at Victory, the hop freezer made quite an impression.  Victory uses whole flower hops in just about every beer they brew, and they keep a bunch of them in a walk in freezer by the brew kettle so they have hops on hand when it comes […]

The best thing about this blog is that it brings Don and I together even though we live across the country from one another.  It’s been a couple of years since we’ve actually been in the same place at the same time, but that changed last week, when Don came for a visit here in […]

It was a homebrew extravaganza for me this weekend, and I have to say I missed most of it.  Sure I drank the beers, but I’m coming off of a silly little cold, and it left me with a swell parting gift – a lingering sinus infection.  It’s hard to taste anything, I feel like […]

I got this Message from my buddy Rick over at Brewforia Beer Market last night: “An unfortunate update on this issue. UPS and FedEx are both now refusing our shipments claiming that we are in violation of our contract because we were shipping beer to consumers. We are contiuning to fight this policy so we […]

Man there was a lot going on in this beer!  It was perhaps one of the most interesting brews I have ever drank, and that perhaps isn’t saying too much, because I’m still relatively new to this whole beer review thing.  For example my Brother Jim has swilled down many more pints in his day […]

The Box is a film by Warner Brother’s Pictures that was released late last year, about a couple that are struggling financially (Who isn’t?) and they have a creepy old guy come up to them, played by Frank Langella who I might add plays a great old creepy dude, and propositions them. They can get $1,000,000 just […]
