It is that time of year, and if you haven’t finished (or started) your holiday shopping it is time to get crackin’! I had an incredible stroke of luck yesterday. I had everyone bought for except my wife. See she is a bit of a tough one this time of year because she also has […]

Last Minute Gift Ideas for the Whiskey Lover in Your Life.
It is once again time for my annual “run around like a chicken with my head cut off and buy gifts for my spouse” day. Irony of ironies, I am a planner by profession, but do you think that would translate into my personal life? No way! So I will spend the next several lunch […]
TGI Friday’s FTW!
I’ll admit I like dining at TGi Friday’s. I love their tostado nachos and they make a good burger. And now I like them even better, as Denver’s Westword reports that TGI Friday’s is testing a beer pairing menu in their South Aurora, Colorado location featuring a handful of selections from New Belgium Brewing. Now, […]

Check Out Our Holiday Podcast
Well, the holidays are upon us and Don and I took to our microphones to create a special holiday edition of the Beer and Whiskey Brothers podcast. Listen in as we review a few seasonal beers (and I bitch about them), Don reviews one of his favorite holiday whiskeys, and we talk about the stuff […]
Old Whiskey River: Willie Nelson’s Whiskey.
When I was a kid, I hated Willie Nelson, and all of the country singers of the day. I was too caught up in the excitement of the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd to really care about other great performers. So if they weren’t what I liked , they sucked. I think that […]
I’d Kill for a Beer*
Like all beer lovers, I’ve hit a patch where I’m trying to lay off of the nectar of the gods for a bit, and I’ll be honest – it’s the hardest it’s ever been. As you might recall, I broke my toe a few weeks ago, which kept me from working out for a few […]
Santa’s Winter Brew Round Up!
Well, it is that time of year when the clock tolls holidays, time slows down, you see your aunt with the blue hair, and the winter seasonals hit the shelves! Well, I have been a busy little elf this year and had a whole bunch of the various seasonal brews, and thought I would share […]
Voodoo Love Child: Good Juju from Voodoo
Voodoo Brewery, owners of the worst website in all craft beerdom, must be working their black magic on me, because I keep buying and enjoying their beers. First it was their Big Black Voodoo Daddy, a powerful and well-crafted imperial stout that managed to be huge on flavor but still very drinkable. It let me […]
Guest Review: Sam Adams Infinium
We all have that crazy friend, the one that talks too loud at the bar and swears too much in front of our mom. Well, this blog has such a friend, and his name is Daniel. To quote “A Christmas Story,” Daniel works in profanity the way other artists work in oil or clay. And […]
Southern Tier Krampus: What a Difference a Year Makes
Yesterday I posted about the evolution of the beer geek. At the top of the evolutionary chain sits Geeko Sapien, the experienced and open minded craft beer drinker who doesn’t take him/herself too seriously. I like to think I’m a Geeko Sapien, but just because I might be at the top of the evolutionary ladder […]
My Weekend SUCKS: What Are You Drinking?
Some of you may have noticed that I have been a little scarce on the blog over the last month or so. That is because I had a convergence of a most unfortunate type at work. Five projects that were all going along on their own just fine, decided to all have deadlines within one […]
