There are certain things in life that bring us joy, but we begin to take for granted. The first thing many of us might think of here is family, or possibly good health. These are two very important things indeed, and I’ve been fortunate enough in my life to have had good luck with both.  […]

To all you Moms out there, enjoy your day!  Kick back, relax, have a nice beer or a whiskey and put your feet up, maybe take a nap.  Us Dad’s got your back today.  Enjoy your day and remember it all goes back to normal tomorrow.  But for now have a very Happy Mother’s Day!!

We’re teaming up again with the guys over at Thank Heaven for Beer for another round of Sip With Us Saturday.  The idea is that everyone drinks the same type of beer on Saturday, then we all report back on our experiences and somehow world peace is achieved.  Actually, I’m not sure about that last […]

I thought it might be time to spice things up a bit around here.  Well how better to spice things up than to go a little edgy and show a bunch of drunks, and let you the reader give us comment and feedback!  I have a bunch of pics I’ve collected off the internet and […]

A bar in Philadelphia has found a great way to incorporate beer into breakfast!  You gotta give this a try!  It looks amazing.  Having had the high ABV and big flavored Golden Monkey last week, I think this would be the perfect brunch drink!  This should give the Mimosa and the Bloody Mary a run for […]

Yes, I don’t know why, but I am down this morning with either a nasty case of food poisining, or the stomach flu.  I’m hoping it is just the 24 hour variety, whatever it is, but one half of Beer and Whiskey is out of commission.  I’ll be checking in periodically between trips to the […]

Fellow blogger David Flaherty from GrapesAndGrainsNYC.com has posted a video of his brew day that went horribly, horribly wrong.  In the end, the beer is in the sink and my heart is in my throat, because as someone who’s about to take the plunge and start to homebrew, it’s my greatest fear. Of course, I’d […]

We all know that life is full of bargains.  Some are real, and others are perceived but here I want to define it a little for us .  I’m thinking of a beer that cost less than $2.00 for a standard 12 oz bottle or under $5 for a bomber, and a whiskey that costs […]

I have finally given in and decided that it was time to upgrade my glassware.  I’ve been drinking mostly out of pint glasses, and it finally struck me that I was missing out on some of the finer pleasures of drinking a good beer, especially the nose. My goal was to find a single type […]

If this were the Dark Ages, I’d be roasting on a spit right now, because I’m a huge fan of Heresy.  Not the religious type  (but I’m probably guilty of that, too), but of Weyerbacher’s wonderful barrel-aged stout.  Heresy starts life as Weyerbacher’s Old Heathen imperial stout, which is then aged in oak barrels that […]

I though I would try something a little different this week.  We always have our weekend post on Fridays, and I thought this week I would try something a little different.  Try stopping by anytime over the weekend to check in and let us know how things are going.  Did you have some great beer […]

Well the Wildcard Weekend has passed and 2 wildcard teams are still in the hunt.  Congrats to the Jets and Ravens, and their fans.  So a better question is what did you enjoy while those games were being televised across this great land?  I know I had great plans to have a couple of new […]

Well it seems like this thing is actually dissipating. I put it to the test last night.  I couldn’t take it any more.  I opened a bottle of Sierra Nevada’s Celebration Ale and gave it a go.  I figured it was pretty hoppy with 65 IBUs so some of it should have gotten through right? […]

Going on day six of my head cold now, and I’m sick and tired..well yeah I’m sick and tired, but I’m  also sick and tired of not being able to drink anything.  Not that I can’t drink, hell I’ve been drinking fluids like a fish, but I can’t taste or smell anything right now, so […]
