Sometimes a couple of drinks can put you in the zone. Other times it makes better sense to stick to the Poland Spring. Here’s an attempt to demonstrate how your behavior and outlook change as you go from sober, to nicely buzzed to bombed out of your mind:

The world of craft beer keeps getting bigger and bigger.  Let me, just as an example, talk about the Boise, Idaho area.  First we had the Boise Co-op with their craft beer offerings.  Then we got a couple bottle shops in Brewforia.  Then Wine markets began to carry a larger and larger selection of craft […]

There’s a time and a place for everything, and tipping a few back is no exception.  For instance, you don’t want to show up half in the bag for a meeting with your boss, but you might require a couple of glasses of liquid courage before you approach that cutie at the end of the […]

If you ever wanted to know what Don was like as a cub, here’s your chance.  This video was taken when he was just a baby and wandered away from Mama Bear at the Pick ‘N Save.  This was also the last time he ate vegetables.  🙂 Okay, so this might be recent video of […]

Yesterday I posted about 5 things I love about this blog, and they were real and honest.  But to be completely honest I began to think if there are 5 things I love, there must be five things I hate, lest there be an imbalance in the force.  So I began to think about the […]

I was thinking about this today, and realized that there are several really good reasons that I love this blog.  What got me thinking about it was Jim’s post today where he refers to the Damn Blog, and I can totally relate.  Sometimes it is a bit of a grind.  Then I began thinking what […]

Its not easy being Green, and it turns out Kermit was right.  Last week my brother Jim posted about the Green choice, bottles or cans.  While it is true that both have their plus and minuses, there is actually no clear choice as to which is better for the environment, and actually can be different […]

Here’s something totally-off-topic – the beard slap!  Hells yeah! I could probably say something about beer dudes and beards, but screw it – this is simply awesome!  Enjoy and have a great weekend!

Its that time of year again.  Time to dress up as your favorite ghoul or goblin and hit the Halloween parties.  I have never really gotten into the whole dress up thing.  Oh, we send the kids out and hand out candy on the day, etc, but Kathy and I have never been into going […]

I found this site on Reddit today.  This guy (his name is Sean) makes custom glass etchings, and I must say some of them are pretty cool.  His website, which he apologizes for up front, shows some of his handy work.  He seems to be quite talented and could make some great custom barware for you.  If […]

I’ve been giving the phenomenon of hype a bit of thought lately.  We see it everyday in our daily lives.  You gotta get the new iPhone, the new Mini Cooper ;), that new blockbuster movie was awesome!  We hear it so much we generally begin to ignore it in our every day lives, its just a part […]

The latest marketing gimmic (their words) from Brew Dog.  This is a 7.1% ABV IPA that was fermented at the bottom of the North Sea.  Cool label art, and something I would be very interested of which to take a taste!  Anyway I thought the video was fun, and full of Brew Dog’s style of irreverent […]

Talk about the best idea ever!  Move over Beer Pong, I’m playing Beer Battleship!  I found this picture and the idea over at http://www.kegworks.com.  I think it would be an awesome game to play, and even have Beer battleship tournaments!  What a blast, and how easy to do!  It would just take a few tables […]

Lately there have been some interesting collaborations, and some collaborations that frankly leave me scratching my head a little.  A couple days ago my brother Jim posted about a collaboration that Dogfish Head did with Google.  They came up with URKontinent, which by all accounts is a pretty tasty beer.  Then yesterday they came out […]

  I’m hanging out in Hollywood today, in the green room of the TV show The Doctors with supermodel Nikki Taylor. Rough, I know! I’m here for work (my boss is taping a segment today) but that doesn’t mean I’m not thinking about beer. I’m ALWAYS thinking about beer! Unfortunately, there none in the green […]
