Have you ever had a beer when absolutely nothing else would do?  You get that cold rush hitting your tongue.  As it makes its way to the back of your throat it is like taking a squeegee to a car window that has been caked with dirt that washes away the grime from weeks of travel. […]

I just got back from an extended weekend at Hershey Park in lovely Hershey PA.  It’s a great place to go with the family, as they have a perfect mix of high-octane thrill rides like the StormRunner (YouTube POV video above) and gentler fare for the little ones. I learned a few things from my […]

Here I am again!  The Super 8 Hotel in Grangeville, Idaho!  It has been a while since I have had a night of drinking here.  I began my evening by checking in and finding my glass and three beers that had been placed in my room by one of the hotel managers.  They are all […]

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 […]

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 […]
