I wrote yesterday about an ungettable gathering I will be going to next week, and it got me thinking about the ungettables I have.  I thought I would go out to the bunker and see just what I had out there that could be classified as “Ungettable”.  When I did this I realized that there […]

Well it is November, and soon everyone’s attention will be focused on family gatherings, big meals, and shopping for presents.  And at this time of year a great amount of beer and whiskey is purchased and consumed, but it is rarely the focus of the gathering.  Instead it is Uncle Bernie and his fourth wife […]

. I’m not ever sure where to start, but this may be the best television commercial I’ve ever seen. All I’ll say is click play – I’d hate to spoil a minute of it.  Check out the stuffed Don that makes an appearance at about 0:35. Thanks to Mathew Molde for sharing this on our […]

So Novembeard marches on and my facial follicles FINALLY look like they belong to a man.  Huzzah! 

Well here we are again.  I was in Brewforia Beer Market last week and happened across a bottle of Lost Abbey Witches Wit, and much to my surprise the very controversial label hasn’t been changed.  I thought when we discussed this before, over a year ago here on this blog, that this had been resolved.  Lost Abbey […]

. That’s right, this makes 1,000 posts here on B&WB.  Some have been great, many have been pretty good and few have even sent ripples across the Internet.  This post doesn’t fit into any of those categories.  Basically I saw this GIF and it made me want to pee my pants, so I figured what […]

Do you love your growler??  Do you love it so much you have more than one? Well that love is pretty universal among beer geeks, with the exception of the most unlikely of haters.  I’m talking about brewers.  By and large they hate serving their beer in growlers because of one thing… quality control.  In an article […]

Joe’s Pilsner is truly one of my favorite beers.  It is light and has a nice breadiness to it, with a good crisp slightly hoppy finish.  It is a great brew any time of the year and the fact that is is sold in cans makes it a total win win for me.  I’ve sung […]

Who doesn’t like the idea of a nice NutLiquor?  Me.  That’s who. Now before I begin to rant about how stupid this 69 proof peanut butter vodka is, I must say that I haven’t tried it.  Maybe it’s delicious.  Maybe I’d be a huge NutLiquor fan and hang out with other NutLiquors, all of us […]

I posted the other day about how it’s Novembeard, a time to celebrate the manly joys of growing facial hair.  Apparently the Boy Scouts got the memo.  Check out their latest ad campaign from the folks over at Ogilvy.  Manly boys! I was a Boy Scout for a while when we lived in Iowa in […]

If my KISS lunchbox or my Star Wars Underoos taught me anything, it’s that the REAL money is in merchandising.  If people are fans of something, they’ll buy up all sorts of doodads to build a deeper connection to the object of their obsession and show the world that they have great taste. Cha-ching!! With […]

I guess you could say that I got BOO-zed and Cigared for Halloween!  I got home late last night because I’ve been working on project that is due on Friday, and we are in our typical crunch time when we have a hard and fast deadline. When I got home I was tired and hungry, […]

With Halloween in the rearview mirror, it’s time to turn our attention the great autumnal tradition that is Novembeard.  It’s a time for men (and some old Italian women) to celebrate their god-given gift to grow facial hair. 

Another List.  At least this time they didn’t try to rank them, but simply said these were their 25 favorite of the year.  I’ve had a few on the list, how many have you had?  Here is the article reprinted in its entirety from Draft Magazine. Top 25 beers of 2011 2011 saw an unprecedented […]

I’ll admit that I have a guilty pleasure – snarky pop culture blogs like WWTDD and The Superficial.  I’m not sure why Tom Cruise gay rumors or the downward spiral of Lindsay Lohan capture my attention, but I like to think it’s because I’m a vapid American who prefers to fill his head with junk […]
