My Brother Jim just reviewed a beer that had a strange metallic flavor that really was off putting. Otter Creek’s Quercus Vitis Humulus was a very unusual brew, and sounded like it should be great, but there was a flaw in its development that some are very forgiving of, and others cannot get past. That […]
From the Cellar
Wild Turkey Rye: Well Grounded and Not LOST!
OK, so I never watched Lost. I don’t understand any of the banter that happened on my own blog site today. But I do understand that Hurley the lovable jerry curled pudgy dude spend 6 or 7 years on a desert island and never lost an ounce. My kids used to joke that he found […]
Otter Creek Quercus Vitis Humulus: It’s Lost on Me
As a fan of Lost, I have to say last night’s finale was both deeply moving and very, very satisfying. I wish I could say the same for the beer I chose to mark the occasion. I was out in the garage last night surrounded by many great beers, trying to decide what I should […]
Best Beer State Interim Exit Poll
Well the votes are still being cast as to who has the best beer state in the nation, but we thought we would give you an update as to where things stand right now. If you try real hard these can change over the weekend, as it did with the State of Michigan who jumped from […]
Whatcha Having this Weekend: Lost Edition
And by “lost” I mean Lost, the 4 hour TV extravaganza that’s going to keep me up late Sunday night and make me feel a bit muddy come Monday morning. It’s definitely in my plans, but I’m not going to a party or anything. I’ll just chill out with the wifey at home and enjoy […]
Oskar Blues Gubna: Don’t Meass with Texeas
Well Mr Gubna, Thanks for your service! Please don’t come back, and good luck with that library! Well one thing you can say about the former gubna of Texas, and the former President of the US is he was a simple man. What you saw was what you got! A former drug addict, party boy […]
The Best Beer State
This is a conversation I’ve had with many beer nerds, and one that never seems to end in a conclusion. What state produces the best beer? Now, where you live will make you a biased, I think. I’m in Northern New Jersey (the part without lots of Snooki’s and The Situation’s running around), happily nestled […]
21st Amendment Hell or High Watermelon: A One Sip Wonder.
I found out something new on Saturday night. I found out that 1) it is possible to judge a beer with only a single sip, and 2) some beers are so bad that they are not only judgable with one sip, but really don’t deserve the one sip they get. Unfortunately that is the case […]

Whatcha Having This Weekend: Back to Form Edition
It’s been a little while since we’ve asked about you beer, whiskey and food-inspired plans for the weekend and that’s just not right! Time to get back to form. For me, I’m looking forward to tasting the latest creation from my friends over at Manor House Brewing (hit them up on Facebook here), one of […]
Russell’s Reserve: Wild Turkey Goes Big City!
Wild Turkey Bourbon for many has always had the reputation of being a Whiskey for the rough and tumble kinda backwater people. High proof and publicity can do that. I recall a line from one of my favorite movies, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, where cousin Eddie is talking about his family and how he has […]
