I really loved going to GABF. It was a time that I hope to experience again, and Jim and I have learned some lessons about when to go and what to do, etc, but when Sunday morning rolls around it is time to pack up and go home. Jim and I went on Friday, and […]
From the Cellar
Celebrity Brewer Pictures
Don and I had the chance to rub elbows with some of the best-known and best-loved brewers in America this weekend. One of the cool things about being a beer fan is accessibility – you get to meet your heroes. And that what Don and I did. But instead of getting a photo WITH them […]
Jim’s GABF Round Up
So we’re back from GABF, older, wiser and maybe even a bit wider as well. All in all it was a great time, and I’m gonna try and share some highlights…
Waiting for The Pints for Prostates
Here’s an attempt to post a video of the line that wraps around the block at Wynkoop Brewing as we all wait to get into the rare beer tasting. Who would pay $80 to taste rare beers? Turns out lots of guys. Don and I hustler Dave from Drunken Polack. Helluva guy! Still waiting for […]
GABF: Here We Go!
Don and I are both headed to Denver this morning ready to take on the GABF. I’ll try to keep you updated as our adventure unfolds. Or I’ll get drunk and lazy. One of those! Anyway, stay tuned-this could get interesting!
GABF Checklist: Busness Cards? Check! T-Shirts? T-Shirts?! T-SHIRTS?!
Well our fancy business cards are done, and with just hours to spare. They look great (disregard that bit of schmootz in the corner,the one in the pic’s been beat up a bit). I think we got about 500 of them, which means they should get us through the GABF and then the next 25 […]
Proof: Beer Is Good for Men’s Prostate Health.
Truth is Jim and I are totally jazzed (probably a bad expression for me to use–Listen to our Next Podcast) to be going to GABF this year. Not only will we be yucking it up with brewers and bloggers alike, but we will also have an opportunity to catch up with our cousin David who […]
Great Quotes from Beer History
We’re not the only guys and gals to ever love us some great beer. Beer has been a pleasure and an inspiration to humans of all walks of life for thousands of years. As proof, here are some quotes about beer from famous folks through the generations. Sometimes when I reflect on all the beer […]
Laughing Dog CSB: Yes that Stands for Crotch Sniffing Bastard!
With a beer name like “Crotch Sniffing Bastard” and explanation is due. It goes like this: when Ben, the Laughing Dog the brewery is named after, was a pup he used to like to say “hello” by sticking his nose in your crotch and giving a good sniff. One of their friends coined the term […]
Founders Nemesis 2010: We All Scream for Ice Cream
As many of you know, I’m a fan of most everything Founders brews. You might also be aware that I’m a sucker for any beer that swings for the fences or draws outside the lines. So you can imagine how much I enjoy Founder’s Nemesis. Each year it’s a different beer bearing the Nemesis name. […]
HELP Us Beer Nerds! Were Going to GABF, What Should We Drink?
Ok, so it is no secret that Jim and I are going to GABF this weekend. We were able to get brewers passes for Friday and Saturday so we will burn the hell out of those puppies. What we haven’t figured out yet is a strategy. Of course we want to drink beer that we […]
Complete Plagiarism!
OK you can find this on BA, but I thought I would post it here too for easy access to our readers that might be going to GABF. Looking at you, Jim! If you are going this looks like it has some very good advise. BeerAdvocate’s Guide to the Great American Beer Festival (GABF) Posted […]
As the Spirit Moves Us.
There is a growing trend that is receiving a lot of press right now in the Whiskey world. That is the trend towards micro distilleries. There are currently 186 private micro distilleries across the country and there seem to be more popping up every day. The trend is turning into a movement that echoes the […]
CAN We Do It?…Yes we CAN…Big Cans!
Still more evidence that the 24 oz bomber can is going to catch on in the Craft beer community. Yuengling is going to release their lager and their light lager in the new 24 oz sizes. Now, I wish a brewery would release a really big beer in a really big can, and that would […]
Is “I Am a Craft Beer Drinker” Insincere?
The gang over at New Brew Thursday recently released their “I am a Craft Beer Drinker” video, in the style of Greg Koch’s “I am a Craft Brewer” video and all the copycats that have since followed (I am a Home Brewer, I am a Canadian Craft Brewer, I am a Little Teapot, etc.) There’s […]
