No one questions the sanity of the guys over at Dogfish Head Brewery – they’re nuts. They don’t make ordinary beers – their brews are always unusual and often extraordinary.

A Brotherly Game of Trip
Have you ever had a game that you played with your siblings that just seemed like you had the way better end of things. Well that is what it felt like every time I played trip with my brother Jim. Trip was a simple game that gave me a lot of enjoyment. I was about […]
To Brew or Not to Brew…
That is the question that I wrestle with every so often. I love to eat great food, and this interest has led me to become an avid cook. I love the improvisation involved with putting together a great dish without using any measuring devices, just my senses. It’s creative, spontaneous and sensual. I also love […]
Chimay Blue–The Novice Perspective
I have drank Belgian beers before, and even had a Chimay before in a bar once, but this was the first time I had drank one with 1) the intent to write about it in this blog, so I wanted to be very observant about the beer and my experience drinking it, and 2) was […]
What’s Behind the Good Stuff?: Sexy Blonde Edition

Whiskey #1 Makers Mark
I know, I know…I said I was going to review Knob Creek. Sorry. I went to my cabinet and my bottle was empty, so I found a flask of Makers Mark that I had been keeping that was just about gone, so I thought I would make this my first blog review instead. Sorry to […]
