“I Am A Craft Brewer” Parody: The Best Video You’ll See This Week
I stumbled across this gem over on Jay Brooks’ blog and just had to share it. It’s a parody of the “I Am a Craft Brewer” video and is absolutely hilarious.

PBR-Drinking Hipsters Rejoice: You Can Now Ironically Sip a Rheingold
Being a hipster must be exhausting. You must ride the ever-changing line between geek and cool, unkempt and fashionable, organic and high-tech. What was hiply-ironic last year may no longer cut it with the goodwill-blazer-with-an-iPhone 4G-in-the-pocket crowd this year. Take beer for example.

What Ever Happened To College Kids Drinking Beer?
Remember the Good Old Days, when young men and women seeking higher education kicked back and relaxed with a beer or two? Perhaps a ping-pong ball would be tossed, Grand-Prize-Game-style into a delta of red cups. Someone might have even cracked the cap on a pint of Jack. Maybe folks even passed the peace pipe. […]
Iron Chef America: Battle Bourbon!
It was late last night and I was contemplating going to bed. It was 11pm and I was getting a little bleary after watching my current televised guilty pleasure; the “Next Iron Chef America.” Right after the “Next Iron Chef” airs they try to hook you into watching Iron Chef America.

Southern Tier Choklat Stout: Pure Primal Satisfaction
I could just stop writing here, as the headline really says it all. Southern Tier’s Choklat is a gush of silken indulgence.
