…a fella named Andrew DeCaluwe from Mount Prospect, Illinois. He tops the list of The National Beer Pong* League’s new ranking system, boasting the highest score of over 2,400 ranked players from around the world. While I’m no fan of beer pong*, I have to admit the NBP*L has built a slick little mousetrap here.

The Great Beer and Whiskey Brother’s Single Barrel Showdown: And the Winner Is…
Well, this has taken me far longer than I anticipated, but at last I have found the winner of our first ever Single Barrel Showdown. I left off in the middle of round two, with one challenge left.

I’ve recently read a lot of predictions for the coming year and I keep asking myself “how the hell do THEY know what’s going to happen?” I certainly don’t, so instead of predicting the good and the bad that 2012 will bring to the craft beer world, I’ve decided to share six things I hope […]
My Extravaganza of Overindulgence Is Coming to an End
All good things have to come to and end, and to be honest, I’m thankful it is so. I’m not sure I could survive another day of freewheeling holiday fun without exploding. I feel like I’m a “wafer thin mint” away from going out like dear Mr. Creosote from Monty Python’s Meaning of Life!
Christmas 2011: Skunked Twice!
Let me begin this post by saying I am in no way complaining! I had an absolutely wonderful Christmas this year, which was hard to believe given all the current challenges my family currently faces.

For the Whiskey Connoisseur That Has Everything
I found this little beauty on a Slovenian web site. All I can say is I fear splashback. I love the novelty of this. Kind of reminds me of this fella. No, for me I’d much rather go with a traditional Christmas Present something like this. By the way this is available for purchase […]

Some traditionalists might say that New Year’s is a champagne-only holiday, but I left the bubbly behind years ago and celebrate the start of a new year with a good beer. But it […]
Deschutes 2011 Abyss: Don’t Fear the Wonders Within.
The Abyss is a strange and wonderful world. It is full of magical and mystical creatures and all sorts of wonder and amazement. Ask any Marine Biologist and they will tell you that we know almost nothing about the wonders this briny deep has hidden in the blackness. So too was my first impression of Deschutes Brewing […]
