Victory comes clean with their Bourbon Barrel project.  Jim and I are supposed to be getting some of this…Hmmm we’ll see.  Dark Intrigue will hit the shelves in November.   That is 7 months in the barrel…Yummm!  

Yes, It has finally happened after 14 months of spewing our lunacy all over the beer and whiskey world we finally hit our 500th post.  We did so with little fanfare, and talking about dumping out perfectly good beer. Yes, Jim’s pour out post was officially our 500th foray into the blogging world.  You would […]

Still more evidence that the 24 oz bomber can is going to catch on in the Craft beer community.  Yuengling is going to release their lager and their light lager in the new 24 oz sizes.  Now, I wish a brewery would release a really big beer in a really big can, and that would […]

Buckbean Brewing is holding its first ever Canfest competition.  This is a two day conference in Reno, NV “The Biggest Little City In The World.”  This will bring craft brewers that put beer in cans from around the nation for this event and should be generally a great time. If he wins (You have to […]

Well, what can I say, WE SUCK!  Yesterday we asked all of you to share your favorite barbecue beers with us and you did…in droves.  It was really great to see all of you take the topic and really run with it.  Seems we all like to grill with beer, we like to drink it […]

Interesting video over at BeerNews.org this morning.  It is a video of Gary Vaynerchuk founder and general spaz of Wine Library TV and Bill Covaleski Brew Master and Owner of Victory Brewing.  The video is quite long at 33 minutes, but you can really just listen without watching.  Bill in the video alludes to their […]

The following is a press release from the folks at Buffalo Trace Distillery.  Feel free to read it, as it gives good information about their latest experimental whiskeys.  One was aged in a French Oak Barrel as opposed to an American Oak, and one was seasoned with oak chips and aged in a used Whiskey […]

So as you may know, Don and I are going to be attending next month’s Great American Beer Fest for the first time.  We’ve been putting our game plan together, trying to cram in as many meet-ups, schmoozes and (of course) great beers into the 48 hours we’ll be in Denver. Part of the plan […]

It seems that the post I did yesterday is being reflected in industry news.  The article below from “BeerNews.org states that Goose Island is looking to contract with Redhook brewery out of Portsmouth, NH to fill its ever growing demand.  See to my way of thinking Redhook is a mediocre brewer, they don’t make anything […]

Some revolutions are worth fighting for.  My Cousin David sent this to me and it is a brief segment and article from reason.tv.  Not a lot new here, but it does explain some insights into why right now is the golden age of craft beer.  We have already begun to see the balkinization of mediocre […]

Well it finally has happened, researchers have figured out how to make fuel for automobiles from the remnants of whiskey production!  It seems like a no-brainer, especially with some of the higher proof stuff, its flamable and some of it tastes like jet fuel, but now its official. In this article, Researchers at Edinburgh Napier […]

Well it turns out Don and I are manly men, because in true guy tradition we both forgot an important birthday Saturday before last. It’s now been just over a year since Don texted me out of the blue and said we should start a blog where he reviews whiskey, I review beer, and we […]

It nice to have friends with some pull.  After waiting too long to get our own damn tickets, Don and I got the great news yesterday that we have scored Brewers Passes to the Great American Beer Fest, courtesy of Boise beer gurus Rick Boyd and Chris Oates at Brewforia.  A million thanks guys! Don […]

This is a picture of the new grain silo at Avery Brewing in Boulder, Colorado.  I LOVE how BIG it is!  Looks like there will be plenty of Maharaja coming from that baby!  They are also taking delivery of four new tanks this month, so the Avery Warehouse should stay full for the foreseeable future, although it […]

Well the circle is complete.  What started four month’s ago with Stone’s version of Saison du BUFF has come full circle with Victory Brewing’s release of Saison du BUFF.  Having never had any of these, I hear they are all very different, and they are all pretty tasty.  Of course I haven’t heard anything about […]
