This is pretty awesome and something I thought you’d all get a kick out of. There’s a guy who has been hilariously embarrassing his 16 year old son each morning since September. His name is Dale and he’s a stay-at-home dad in American Fork, Utah. His son Rain’s school bus route changed this year, bringing […]

Pabst Blue Ribbon: A Hipster’s Paradise Lost
The crumbling remains of the Pabst Blue Ribbon Brewery may be foretelling of this brand’s future. Pabst Blue Ribbon has gone from blue collar, working class staple to almost extinct, to a resurgent hipster brand that has been closely identified with the folks who look like they are the product of a grunge artist and a preppy. […]
FOOD & WINE Discovers a New “Trend” Called Craft Beer
Hold on to your hats boys and girls, Food & Wine has discovered a new form of trendy beverage – it’s called craft beer! Ever heard of it? Okay, so they’ve covered the craft beer scene in the past, but they recently posted a “Trendspotting” article on foodandwine.com and it’s all about the American craft […]
There Goes the Future: We’re Schooling the Next Generation
We never imagined this would happen. It turns out that our little blog is being used as a teaching aid in college course – it may or may not be at The Ohio State University – the Google is a little fuzzy on this. Anyway, they created a blog to explore “Representations of the ‘Family’ […]
Infographic: The Worst Year in the History of American Beer
Most of us have seen a graphic showing the number of breweries in America from the 1800’s to today. It tells a story we’ve all heard before – America had a lively brewing scene up until Prohibition, when nearly two thousand breweries were wiped off the map, most never to be seen again. The number […]
The Good News: Beer Makes You Attractive. The Bad News: It’s to Mosquitos.
We all know that drinking beer can lead to a pudgy midsection, dull reflexes and an over-inflated sense of self-confidence. Now researchers at the University of Florida say we can add red itchy bumps to that list. According to a recent study, a certain group of females seek out us beer drinkers over our teetotaling […]
I’ll Never Smoke Weed with Willie Again
Just because the Dubhe has me in the mood. Enjoy!
Uinta Brewing Dubhe: Which Dubhe You Be?
I had an amazing beer experience last night, and just had to share it this morning. My friend Chad, the @BeerPoet from Twitter and Facebook Fame turned me onto the Dubhe Black IPA from Uinta Brewing in Salt Lake City. Yes, them Mormons know their beer…apparently. The name of this beer is an obvious double […]
Allagash Brewing: Like an Unsexy Supermodel
Sometimes you know something is excellent, but it does absolutely nothing for you. Take Victoria Secret supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio. Many fellas think she’s a goddess, but to me she has the appeal of a 12 year old boy (insert Catholic priest joke here). Don’t get me wrong – I can look at her and intellectually […]
Stranahans, Oh Stranahans…Let Down Your Hair
There’s something going on at Stranahans Whiskey, and they are keeping it to themselves. Much like Goose Island, they are selling out. Cashing in on the hard work and investment and the name they built for themselves by selling the place. They are selling to Proximo Spirits, probably best known for their Soprano wiseguy endorsed 1800 […]
TheStreet.com Announces Top 10 Beer Vacation Destinations, Loses Me after Number 2…
TheStreet.com released their Top 10 craft beer vacation destinations earlier this morning, and while some are slam dunks, others are head scratchers. Sure visiting Stone and Dogfish Head make sense (they have beaches!), but Pottsville, PA? Also, The state of Wisconsin gets a nod, but Colorado is left out in the cold?! Wisconsin is a […]

Video: How I Spent My Memorial Day
Talk about a perfect moment – grilling with my daughter (the narrator) and enjoying a crisp and refreshing Victory Prima Pils. After that, I wrapped up a Band of Brothers marathon with my boy. Hope your holiday was as good as mine. Summer’s off to a fabulous start!
Filliers Graanjenever: Belgian Whiskey From a Friend
Having this blog has been mostly fun. It is a great way to connect with new people and get to know them a little. Recently we’ve had a person frequent the blog that is in the process of opening and all Belgian Brewery in the great State of New Jersey. And this should be the real […]
Drinking & Driving: Please Do Your Part This Weekend and all Summer Long
Memorial Day weekend is finally upon us and my thoughts are turning to lagers, pilsners and stouts (let’s face it, I’m a creature of habit!). But my thoughts have also been lingering on a more serious subject – drinking and driving. Now before you roll your eyes, let me assure you this will be quick, […]
