I’m a creature of habit.  I’ll eat the same thing every day for lunch without complaint, and I stick to a fairly strict routine in my life, which is great when I’m doing healthy stuff, and awful when I’m on a cheese and crackers binge.  All told, I’d be pretty easy to assassinate – just […]

Looks good!  Oskar Blues will enter into the 16 oz tallboy cans with their first run of Deviant Dales IPA.  This IPA uses Dale’s pale ale as their base then dry hops the shit out of it 4 different times during the brewing process, and then again at the end when it goes into the […]

If pop culture has taught us anything, it’s that pretty people always win and the zombie apocalypse is inevitable.  The rules of zombie behavior have been well established (most recently by AMC’s The Walking Dead) and survival guides are everywhere. But what these guides fail to mention is how to survive in style, most notably, […]

It seems Oskar Blues has the tiger by the tail, or sticking with our theme here, the great white shark by the caudal fin. They recently pulled out of Idaho and seven other states because they can’t keep up with demand in other (apparently more important) markets.  Don cries about this in our latest podcast, […]

Well, as some of you know the picture above is the view off of my front porch.  You can see that summer is FINALLY here, as the grass is starting to turn a little brown even with being irrigated 2 times a day, and where it isn’t irrigated it is deep brown fire hazard type […]

Well now they’ve gone and made me really mad!  As many of you are aware Oskar Blues made an announcement that they were pulling out of Idaho in order to make their brew more available in larger markets.  Sheesh, just expand already!  You can read all about the announcement here. When I wrote that other […]

As you all know by now, if you read this site, Oskar Blues is pulling out of Idaho.  I learned this on Friday morning, and Friday afternoon I went to my local beer store and cleaned them out of Dales Pale Ale and Old Chub.  So long OB, at least I got a few before […]

If it isn’t Scottish …its Crap!  That was the old Mike Myers saying when he ran his Scottish Import Shop on Saturday Night Live.  After drinking Oskar Blues Old Chub Scottish Ale, I’m inclined to agree with him!  This was a beautiful ale that all bonified Kilt wearin’ Scotts should be proud to drink, and […]

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 […]

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 […]

As a guy who cherishes awesome beer in cans, I’m excited and a saddened about the latest news from Oskar Blues.  To catch you up, they’ve put Ten Fidy on seasonal status (now available from October to February) and have replaced it for the warmer months with the GUBNA (pronounced with a laconic Southern drawl), […]

I’m quite the creature of habit, and I usually like to stick to a routine.  When it comes to beer, the rule is that I usually don’t drink any during the week, and imbibe on the weekends.  Now the former rule is one that is broken regularly (I’ll have a beer after a rough day […]
