I’m at Eataly in NYC, and can’t bring myself to care about Italian beer. How come “Italy” and “beer” don’t go together in my head?

  Is this such a bad thing?… . . . . .

The World Health Organization recently released its report on alcohol consumption around the globe and the statistics show that 1) America is all about beer; 2) beer is gaining in popularity; and 3) beer is delicious.  Well that last one is all mine, but it’s easy to infer from the first two points.

I’m guessing that Discovery network is trying to generate excitement around this topic.  Perhaps in anticipation of another Brew Masters run. I’m hoping.  Check it out.

This ad for Sapporo might just be the coolest beer commercial ever made.  Actually, at two minutes long, I don’t think commercial is the right word – it’s more like a mini-movie.  It does an awesome job of portraying how the essence of Japanese culture and tradition is imbued in every can (minus the used […]

Our pal Bryce Eddings has tons of street cred when it comes to beer, and it isn’t just due to his beer-guy facial hair (he sports a glorious goatee). Bryce also edits the beer section of about.com, and he has asked us to get the word out about the Beer portion of their Reader’s Choice […]

There’s a fairly famous quote that’s often attributed to the character Cliff Clavin on Cheers, even if it never was on the show.  It’s called the Buffalo Theory and it goes like this: 

Remember Butch from the Little Rascals? He was the roughneck that always picked on Alfalfa and the rest of the “Our Gang” clan.  He was bigger, rougher, and much more bitter than the rest of them.  He was, in old timey language, a ruffian.  The kind of kid that used his size and attitude to […]

We here at Beer and Whiskey Brothers would like to take a moment and recognize some great Thanksgiving failures.  No this has nothing to do with beer or whiskey, just a little whimsy for your holiday cheer.  Enjoy.The world of fashion has given us some of our greatest failures!  Seriously how OLD do you have […]

Don’s traveling and I’m with the family at Great Wolf Lodge, where I paid $113 for a buffet and three Yeunglings for two adults and two kids. If I wasn’t sick before the very average buffalo chicken wraps, I sure was after the check came.  So Don and I are playing hooky from the blog […]

Man oh man have I gone and done it this time!  I go from a 1 ounce pour of The Glenlivet 12 year to buying a bottle of their 16 year old cask strength Scotch Whisky…without a net!  That is a little like putting a dash of Tobasco on your eggs in the morning, and […]

I don’t know about you but I need a Monday Pick-Me-Up.  Here you go, courtesy of ZZ Top!  

Its that spooky time of year again, where the ghouls and goblins come out and mad scientists create all sorts of weird concoctions in their laboratories!  Victory brewing has been making some, and its head Mad Scientist is trying some of his own elixirs.  Enjoy…  

Here is a video of the folks at Victory brewing selecting their hops for the year!  Take’s me back to the Hop Freezer.  Amazing stuff.  I jealous now.  Enjoy.
