If you’re reading this site, there’s a good chance that you’re a naughty little minx. That’s what Psychology Today tells us in a recent article aptly entitled “What’s the One Best Question to Predict Casual Sex?” The article shares data put together by dating site OKCupid co-founder and Harvard grad Christian Rudder.

Privacy-Invading Website Shows Just How Popular Hangovers Are
My buddy and fledgling pro-brewer Bill Bennett just shared this scary bit of business on Facebook. It’s a “social networking privacy experiment” called We Know What You’re Doing .com which collects unflattering public Facebook status updates and posts them to their site. There are four categories on the site: Who wants to get fired? (people […]
New Belgium Tart Lychee: Beauty Is More Than Bottle Deep
A couple of years ago Jim and I went to a Rare Beer tasting in Denver, as part of our trek we made to GABF in 2010. A pilgrimage we will surely need to make again…soon. The Pints for Prostates Rare Beer Tasting at the Wyncoop Brewery was by far the best event of our trip, […]
Video: Don is Now Dancing at Kids Birthday Parties
Now I know where the hell’s he been! Go shawty, it’s yo birfday….
Spiegelau Beer Glasses are Like Drinking Beer in HD
. . The last thing I needed as a beer geek was something new to obsess about. Let’s face it, there’s a lot on my plate already; finding interesting beers, storing them properly, learning how to brew my own, serving beer at the right temperature, on and on and on it goes. Now, thanks to […]
Making Out with a Super Model While Dreaming of the Girl Next Door
That’s the situation I found myself in (metaphorically, of course, if you’re reading this honey) as I sipped on a Jolly Pumpkin La Roja, a Flanders-style red ale that’s been aged in oak. It’s exquisite really, a beautifully made beer. It’s tart, spicy, and somehow manages to have a lovely earthiness to it, yet it […]
What the Hell Is Going On With Don? An Update.
So, this is my blog! I almost forgot what it looked like! I know I’ve been scarce around these parts the past couple of months. I think I am averaging about 1 maybe 2 posts per week, where it used to be a daily happening, and sometimes several times per day, not to mention the […]
Feats of Strength: The Vending Machine You Have to Tackle to Get a Beer
Thank goodness that people in Argentina like violent sports and that advertising agencies get paid too much money, because this is the result. A blog post. I mean, Rugbeer, the Argentinian vending machine that you have to body check before it will release your watery beer. If you don’t smash it hard enough, no beer […]
What’s Your “Stretch” Beer?
A stretch beer is an important weapon in any beer nerd’s arsenal. It’s the brew you buy to make the good stuff “stretch” a little bit further, saving you money and preserving your fancier beers for when you can really enjoy them.
The Future is Watching: The Scariest Marketing Ploy I’ve Ever Seen
Some of you know that I’m in marketing, and it’s my job to figure out how to put the right products in front of the right consumers in the right place and at the right time. Lining all this up is critical, because it’s a waste of time, effort and marketing dollars to try and […]
Hangovers: I’m Getting Too Old for This S#&t!
I’ll admit Saturday night got out of hand, but just ever so slightly. I did that thing where you open a bomber of good beer before you realize that perhaps a bomber is too much. But it’s open, and it’s good, and you’re not going to pour it down the drain. So you say “what […]
Whatcha Drinking This Weekend? Sad Jim Edition
Well the weekend is almost upon us and those chilly delights in beer fridges across America have begun to whisper their owners’ names. Jiiiiim…we are waaaaiiiitinnng for youuuuu. This weekend was supposed to be extra special, because I was going to drag my family down to Washington D.C. to attend Savor, an orgy of craft […]
CraftCans.com Has a Nerdtastic Canned Beer Database
I have no idea why I’m so infatuated with canned craft beers, but they are becoming a bit of an obsession with me, and their ranks are growing at such a crazy pace I can’t keep up with what’s out there. This is good and bad. The good part is that I’m always excited to […]
Are you ready for the Blokes from Scotland? BrewDog TV!
Jim and I have spent a lot of time trying to “break” into the TV gig, but it is tough. We are creating a base slowly, and maybe someday. These guys are coming at it hard and irreverently, perhaps we should insult the royals and make some crazy high ABV shitty beer too. I guess our […]

Let’s Play Sip, Chug, or Pour: Pliny, Maharaja, and Heady Topper
Sip, Chug, Pour is a game where we provide three beers, and you tell us in the comments which beer you’d savor slowly (Sip), which you’d blast down your gullet (Chug), and which you’d share with your imaginary friend who lives in your sink (Pour). You also should let us know WHY you chose the […]
