Once every year or so we do this here at Beer and Whiskey Brothers. We know you are out there, our stats don’t lie. Only a small fraction of you ever comment on our postings. How do we know? Wordpress tells us how many comments we get, and how many views we get. Subtract one […]
Ok, I know I posted about this around 12 months ago. But it seems this is actually going to happen! Panama based Scottish Spirits is actually going to be importing these things into the US markets. At a very reasonable cost of $5 per can! These are 12 fl oz cans, so for $5 you […]
It is almost so long ago to be meaningless in our world today, but it deserves remembering that there once was a time in our country’s history when drinking a beer or a whiskey was a crime! No other legislation in our nation’s history (with the possible exception of the 55 MPH speed limit) has […]
That’s right, Mad Men’s Red Headed Bombshell thinks that scotch whisky is sexy. It was one of the things that attracted here to her husband, Geoffrey Arend. He ordered Scotch when they were out on a date, and she thought that was sexy. I’d say it worked out well for Mr Arend! You would never guess […]
Hello, my Name is Don, my brother’s name is Jim, and we want to speak directly to you…the lurkers. We know you are out there. You come to the website every week and you look at what we post, and you read our comments. You find this site entertaining so you keep coming back, but […]
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 […]
This is the first single Malt Scotch I’ve had from the Dalmore, but I can guarantee it won’t be my last! I was sent a sample for review a few months ago, and I really gave this a good go! Not only did I have it with a cigar, but I finished the sample and […]
Its everywhere and it is ubiquitous. Heineken owns Las Vegas. At least it seemed that way to me. But let me start at the top. My Son had a Basketball tournament in Las Vegas last week. So we decided to make a little mini vacation out of it. We took a couple of days after […]
Ask Men just released their 2011 Great Male Survey and it turns out that the majority of dudes (35%) consider beer to be the “ultimate man’s drink.” Whiskey came in second at 28% (I knew there was a reason it’s after beer in our blog title!), Scotch at 27%, “whatever Don Draper is drinking” (ugh) […]
For me it will be some of the Sam Adams Latitude 48 deconstructed bottles. Got to get them into the fridge! Also I have that new bottle of Jim Beam Devil’s cut, and I have a new bottle of Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve that I’m going to crack into. 120 proof and […]
Well you thought Wisconsin had problems! Take a look at their neighbor, Minnesota. The State government in Minnesota has been shut down over the last two weeks while lawmakers try to figure out how to pay the bills. Well this has had a concequence that I don’t think any of them considered while they dug […]
This guy looks like I feel. I don’t know what is going on, but for the last several weeks I have gotten into a very bad sleeping schedule. I wake up around 5:30am every weekday. Go to work at 6:30. Work (and throw up these quick blog posts every day until around 4:30 or 5. […]
What a difference 6 years makes! Last week I reviewed Jura 16, the 16 year old Single Malt whisky from the isle of Jura. That was a very viscous fruity smelling, caramel and vanilla delight. Jura 10 is a different character entirely. Don’t let the bottle fool you, this whisky is a total departure from […]
It is the 5th of July, that dreaded day when everyone must go back to work with hangovers and too little sleep. Hopefully you got a chance to have a barbecue or see a rousing 4th of July fireworks display. Where I live, the city puts on their display on the 3rd and then on […]
