May 21, 2011 was Chimay Day in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Ok, they actually don’t have an “official” day for the City, but some friends of mine have started a tradition that needs to continue on a regular basis. Sometime last year they started the tradition of gathering with some friends and opening several magnums of […]

Eataly’s Birreria Rooftop Beer Garden to Open Soon
It seems to have taken forever to get off the ground, but starting June 3rd the beer will begin to flow on the roof of Eataly, and NYC will have its latest must-see stop for beer geeks. Called “Birreria,” the beer garden in the sky will feature beers crafted in collaboration between Dogfish Head, Birra […]
Finally, a Beer for the Gays!
If you’re a gay guy or gal and have been wondering “how come no one has made a beer just for me?,” I’ve got some good news for you. It seems the Minerva brewery in Mexico has been reading your mind and has released two beers that will be marketed to the gay communities in […]
A Visit to the New Laughing Dog Brewery
Due to overwhelming demand the Laughing Dog Brewery was forced to leave their smaller and tighter facility and move into a much larger one down the road. Even without the new fermenters that will be delivered in the next 6 to 8 weeks, Laughing Dog has already increased production over 91% from first quarter last […]
What Would Signify Beermageddon?
Well May 21st has come and gone on all corners of the globe now, and SURPRISE! Nothing happened. Yes, someone had many people fooled into thinking that the end was near, and the Rapture would begin. Guess what, he was WRONG. Now I know you are just about as surprised as I was when May […]
Carlsberg Launches a New Beer for Women (and “Stylish” Men)
I’m not sure why I find this vaguely insulting, but I do. Carlsberg Brewery has launched a new beer called Copenhagen they say is tailored to the tastes of women (and “stylish” men). It has been crafted specifically for those who don’t like the bitterness of beer, which sounds like code for “those who don’t […]
What’s the Worst Thing You’ve Found in Your Beer (and You Finished it Anyway)?
This happened over a week ago and I still haven’t figured out how something so weird got into my beer. Here’s the sequence of events:
Video: Justin Timberlake as a Dancing Beer on SNL
I’ll admit it – I think Justin Timberlake is hilarious when he pops onto Saturday Night Live. He has immaculate comedic timing and doesn’t seem to mind making a fool of himself.
Judgement Day, the Second Coming: What to drink?
This prediction of the Rapture on May 21st is having a really interesting and kind of comical impact on the Beer and Whiskey Brother’s Blog. You see about a year ago I did a review of Lost Abbey’s beer Judgement Day. It is a very raisiny sweet stout with virtually no carbonation. I believe the […]
Mas Tequila…PLEASE!
You know Jim has been crazy this week, and I’m taking the reigns. So I don’t care if he likes it or not, but a 4:30 Video seems to be just the ticket to make it through the rest of the day this week! So without further adieu the Red Rocker himself…
Pappy Van Winkle 15: There Is No Place Like…Vermont?
Vermont is for Lovers and people with a heavy sweet tooth. Dieters and the color blind miss out on a lot the state has to offer. One of Vermont’s finest contributions to every day life is their maple syrup. That, and there are some pretty good breweries up there too. But last night I was transported in […]
Lynyrd Skynyrd: Whiskey Rock-A-Rolla
It is gonna be a whiskey kind of night tonight! Enjoy.
A New Label For Jack Daniels
Out with the wordy and in with the…well, less wordy. I’m a little puzzled. Maybe it is because Jack Daniels hadn’t changed their label in like forever, but why exactly is this news worthy? They have just cleaned it up a bit. They took off the line about Lem Motlow being the proprietor, I suppose […]
