Beer Lovers Guide to Airports

Cheapflights honors the great traveling beer drinkers among us with this Guide to Great Airport Beer
Gordonbiersch wouldn’t be my first choice at LAX, tho.

Talk about taking something too far, Sierra Nevada’s ultimate in their product line of over-hopped, bitter beers is officially the Wet Hop Harvest Ale.
Prior Sierra reviews from me have been none too glowing; I’m not a fan of these heavily hopped American beers. I prefer my malty old German and English beers — but Sierra [...]

I ran across this big fat bottle at my local super market and honestly, I do not know why I bought it. My friend Ryan and I only disagree about 1 beer-topic. While we can agree on the joys of owning a wort-chiller, the need for a big brew kettle or the sheer entertainment value [...]

Beer Review: Spaten Oktoberfest?!?

What bullshit is Dethroner trying to pass off as a review? Spaten? WHAT? But thats the six pack I’m drinking my way through right now — we’ll, lets be honest I mixed up three 6ers into a Spaten Oktoberfest, Jack’s Pumpkin Spice Ale and Old Foghorn triumvirate of beer drinking ROI.
I’ve got admit, I’ve [...]

Carlsberg has mercilessly shut down the historic Tetley on Leeds brewery in an effort to cut costs in a belt-tightening economy. Yeah, yeah the loss of a historic brewery like Tetley; which has been brewed on the site since 1822 and will be moved to some other brewery down south. I guess in these wonderful [...]

Politics and Beer

Just some stuff that made me chuckle today…
Seems Balloon Juice doesn’t care for Sam Adams Hefe:
Sam Adams Hefeweizen is so bad it should be a felony. If Obama does usher in the NEW WORLD ORDER, first on the chopping block are these jackasses for their crimes against the reinheitsgebot. Christ, this is ten pounds [...]

I’m a huge fan of barley-wines like Old Foghorn and Sierra’s BigFoot — so Cooper’s Vintage Ale 2008 called out to me from the shelf. The bold Porter-y flavor and heavy duty alcohol always make me feel I’m getting prime ROI from my drink. I had to give it a go.
Cooper’s is a popular beer [...]

DotW: Halloween Drinking Game

Jonas at Drink of the Week has shared this fine Halloween (or just horror movie watching) Drinking game. It includes such activities as:
Take two drinks every time:
Someone thinks the killer is dead and unwisely goes to investigate the body only to discover he is still alive.

I remember when I needed an excuse to drink. [...]

Jack’s Pumpkin Spice Ale

So, as I prepared to take the walk to the grill and begin the evenings artisty upon a marinated flank steak, I went to ice box. I’d wanted to give Jack’s Pumpkin Spice Ale a try last night, but I was afraid it wouldn’t be cold enough after just 3 hours in the cooler. Tonight, [...]

Discovery posts this fantastic update from the world of tree shrews, which are apparently nature’s own lushes:
Even the most ardent beer fans would have trouble subsisting on their favorite brew day in and out, but scientists have just discovered that the pentailed treeshrew lives off a frothy, fermented nectar that smells like beer and has [...]

Happy 75th Rebirthday, Beer!

Imbibe reminds us:
Seventy-five years ago today, April 7, 1933, marked the beginning of the end of Prohibition in the United States. … When the law changed at 12:01 a.m. on April 7, beer flowed legally from taps for the first time in 14 years. These low-alcohol brews would tide the nation over for the [...]

Mamma Mia Pizza Beer

Another hat-tip to Ryan @ Brewers Daily for discovering “Mamma Mia Pizza Beer.”
HERE AT LAST! The wait is OVER! Friday, February 8th, 2008 marks the day that The Original Seefurth Family Mamma Mia Pizza Beer hit the street. Brewed and bottled at the Sprecher Brewing Company just outside of Milwaukee, WI, Sprecher is already offering [...]

» Evidently a fan of Ebert’s is trying to help Mars breed the supreme race of M&Ms.

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them breaks and splinters. That is the “loser,” and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.
M&Ms prove Darwin was right Thanks Ryan  # 0
