It seems extremely early this year, but Sunday at 2am is that magical moment where we trick mother nature into giving us one more hour of daylight each day.  The price we pay for this is a hefty one – an hour less in our weekends.  What’s worse, an hour less to enjoy our favorite […]

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 […]

So, just like that,  no more football. While the Pro Bowl is a useless and unwatchable football game, it was always there to ease us into the oblivion of the NFL offseason.  It is the methadone to the heroin that is NFL football, a gentle step down the ladder.  But not so this year – […]

Well, it was a cruddy weekend for our teams here at B&WB.  My Jets were shot down by the man-robot Peyton Manning and Don’s “Whoever-Brett-Favre-is-Playing-Fors” also met their end at the hands of…wait for it…Brett Favre.  But I had some good beers along the way, so it’s not all bad.  Besides, now the Super Bowl […]

Those of you who read these pages regularly know what I’m having.  Superstition has taken hold, and I must repeat my beverage consumption of the past few weeks that has propelled my Jets to an unlikely berth in the AFC Championship Game: Southern Tier Oat and a Dale’s Pale Ale or two. I’ll also be […]

Well, it’s the first weekend after all the holiday madness, and I have to admit, I’m a little pickled.  I took the week off between Christmas and New Years and enjoyed my lack of responsibility with quite a bit of (mostly) responsible drinking.   Lots of beer and a good deal of whiskey as well. […]

Well the last non-holiday weekend of the year is upon us, and with the Jags losing to the Colts (yea Colts!), my Jets are still mathematically alive in the playoff hunt.  They just have to beat the Falcons and the Colts (boo Colts!) and the Bengals back-to-back-to-back.  Simple, right? Anyway, it’s probably the last normal […]

It’s the weekend (well almost) and we want to know what everyone’s going to be having.  For myself, I have to find the perfect complement to salty tears and the bitter taste of defeat.  You see, my Jets are playing the Patriots on Sunday, and I think they’re going to get mauled.  Sure they beat […]

It’s been a rough one for me, but I finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve been sick as a dog (or perhaps a pig) all week and work has been crazier than usual to boot. But the weekend is here and I’m starting to feel like myself again. I’m looking […]

It’s been a gnarly week and I’m glad it’s over! I’ve got a few treats (and probably a couple of tricks) in the fridge for this weekend and can’t wait to get started. I’m gonna begin with the basics; a couple of devilish Stone selections and then maybe a Dogfish Head Pangea. What about you?  Are […]

So How was your weekend?  Mine was…well, a mixed bag.  Yeah that is an adequate description.  As far as sports are concerned, my fantasy football team rocked!  I scored 157 points, and my kicker still plays tonight.  I now have the dubious distinction of having scored the most points in the league, but my record […]
