It is something of a quandary I find myself in, having to agree with my brother, but Jim is right about one thing. It is hard to find beer that is both flavorful and lower in alcohol. Living rural like I do, I often find myself a good distance from home when the mood strikes […]
Well, this has taken me far longer than I anticipated, but at last I have found the winner of our first ever Single Barrel Showdown. I left off in the middle of round two, with one challenge left. That was the upstart new single barrel bourbon from Beam, Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve vs. Evan […]
All good things have to come to and end, and to be honest, I’m thankful it is so. I’m not sure I could survive another day of freewheeling holiday fun without exploding. I feel like I’m a “wafer thin mint” away from going out like dear Mr. Creosote from Monty Python’s Meaning of Life!
Let me begin this post by saying I am in no way complaining! I had an absolutely wonderful Christmas this year, which was hard to believe given all the current challenges my family currently faces. It was great. We opened gifts, truly enjoyed each other’s company and with the exception of an overdone beef roast […]
It’s been a pretty amazing year in these parts. We’ve shined a light on the unfair treatment of a teacher, exposed a “Big Beer” troll trying to pull a fast one, and we even managed to break a news story or two. I’ve compiled a list of our top seven stories from the past year, […]
I found this little beauty on a Slovenian web site. All I can say is I fear splashback. I love the novelty of this. Kind of reminds me of this fella. No, for me I’d much rather go with a traditional Christmas Present something like this. By the way this is available for purchase […]
. Thank you, Science! No time for watching a video? Here’s a quicker way to see what’s what:
The Abyss is a strange and wonderful world. It is full of magical and mystical creatures and all sorts of wonder and amazement. Ask any Marine Biologist and they will tell you that we know almost nothing about the wonders this briny deep has hidden in the blackness. So too was my first impression of Deschutes Brewing […]
Well the holidays are upon us in full fervor. The Advent Calendar is hung, and the mouse (ours has a stuffed mouse) is being moved on a daily basis. It is time for family gatherings and holiday parties. This year will be a bit of a mixed bag for us. See it is usually just […]
In Alaska, sometimes weird things happen. Take for example the case of Clifton Vial, a guy from Nome Alaska. He was out driving one day, and suddenly found himself and his Toyota Tacoma pickup stuck about 40 miles north of Nome Alaska. For those of you not familiar with the wilds of Alaska 40 miles […]
Hold onto your hats and try to stay with me here. A new (probably expensive) study is reporting that alcohol effects decision making, and a person’s level of risky sexual behavior INCREASES AS MORE ALCOHOL IS CONSUMED!! OMG!! They’ve finally cracked the code!! Up until now, I thought that it was just a coincidence that […]
Mindy Humphrey is doing something creative, unique, and good for the planet. She takes old beer boxes and “repurposes” them into useful items you can use every day. These are some pretty cool items for the craft beer geek on your Christmas list. Mindy has created items such as wallets, luggage tags, wrist bands, hair […]
