If you ever wanted to know what Don was like as a cub, here’s your chance.  This video was taken when he was just a baby and wandered away from Mama Bear at the Pick ‘N Save.  This was also the last time he ate vegetables.  🙂 Okay, so this might be recent video of […]

Yesterday I posted about 5 things I love about this blog, and they were real and honest.  But to be completely honest I began to think if there are 5 things I love, there must be five things I hate, lest there be an imbalance in the force.  So I began to think about the […]

I was thinking about this today, and realized that there are several really good reasons that I love this blog.  What got me thinking about it was Jim’s post today where he refers to the Damn Blog, and I can totally relate.  Sometimes it is a bit of a grind.  Then I began thinking what […]

They say you always hurt the ones you love, and I have decided to take my pissy mood out on my beloved craft beer. Here are the five things I hate about craft beer, in no particular order. 

Its not easy being Green, and it turns out Kermit was right.  Last week my brother Jim posted about the Green choice, bottles or cans.  While it is true that both have their plus and minuses, there is actually no clear choice as to which is better for the environment, and actually can be different […]

Its that time of year again.  Time to dress up as your favorite ghoul or goblin and hit the Halloween parties.  I have never really gotten into the whole dress up thing.  Oh, we send the kids out and hand out candy on the day, etc, but Kathy and I have never been into going […]

Not sure what drove me to do this, but I’ve created a series of photo meme’s around the topic of drinking in moderation.  Enjoy! 

Even as sales of craft beer continue to climb by double digits, overall sales of beer are down 1% by volume this year.  It’s the big boys who are shouldering the brunt of the burden, and they are starting to make some splashy moves to stem their losses. Take a look at Bud Light.  Advertising […]

I’ve been giving the phenomenon of hype a bit of thought lately.  We see it everyday in our daily lives.  You gotta get the new iPhone, the new Mini Cooper ;), that new blockbuster movie was awesome!  We hear it so much we generally begin to ignore it in our every day lives, its just a part […]

I just came across a website called Triple Pundit, a hairy-legged, tree hugging website that apparently cares as much about the environment as it does about commerce.  What do they think this is, the 21st century? 🙂 The article that caught my attention was about the environmental atrocity that is aluminum mining, and how craft […]

Talk about the best idea ever!  Move over Beer Pong, I’m playing Beer Battleship!  I found this picture and the idea over at http://www.kegworks.com.  I think it would be an awesome game to play, and even have Beer battleship tournaments!  What a blast, and how easy to do!  It would just take a few tables […]

I’ve seen this little gem a few times over the years and stumbled across it again this morning. I have no idea where it originated from (or else I’d give credit where it’s due) but thought you might enjoy it as well.

Last year I was so excited to find an unexpected gift on my doorstep – a festive bagful of craft beer and other assorted treats!  I got BOO-zed! It was a totally new concept to me and one that I instantly wanted to share with as many folks as possible.  Problem was that I caught […]

  Im still in L.A., and look what I found behind the concierge desk of my hotel – it looks like this edition of Where magazine is all about craft beer in Los Angeles. Looks like L.A. has a new star! Unfortunately, I didn’t have a chance to visit any of the places featured inside. […]

  I’m hanging out in Hollywood today, in the green room of the TV show The Doctors with supermodel Nikki Taylor. Rough, I know! I’m here for work (my boss is taping a segment today) but that doesn’t mean I’m not thinking about beer. I’m ALWAYS thinking about beer! Unfortunately, there none in the green […]
