In the Shadow of Giants….
No, not the NY Giants. I wouldn’t have been nearly so excited (Sorry, NY fans)…No, these giants are the men shaping the craft beer world like the master artists of the Renaissance. Think Da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Botticelli, except with liquid rather than paint. It was my great pleasure to meet this triumvirate of brewing…
Road trippin’ and dreamin’ of the finish line….
I am a diehard fan of setting out on the open road when life gets a little stuffy and stifling. Hence…my years zigagging the east coast as a loyal Deadhead. And then a Phish follower. And numerous camping expeditions. Those of you how know me well, are aware that I get ants in my pants,…
Black magic, serpents, and black holes…
After a long, yet delicious week of wine tastings and events, there is something wonderful about sitting back in a big lush, velvet chair and drinking dark, lush beers…and sampling a lovely Cabernet Sauvignon. Hahaha, come on now folks, when have you EVER known me to take it one thing at a time? BEER #…
What beer goes good with Champagne?

It was a tough call, but I held strong in the face of Egly-Ouriet (reeediciously good!), Pierre Gimmonet, Rene Geoffrey (Joe, you know this one…
Brits vs. Yanks, or tomahhto vs tomato
Tuesday night was a rescheduling of our previous England vs. USA showdown of stouts and porters in Cork & Bottle/Clever. And while I REALIZE you cannot have a true battle with only 4 beers, remember we are in this to have fun, and not draw scientific conclusions. And I intentionally selected straight down the middle,…
May the Dark Force be with you…
Nursing a hangover and a headache that made me run clear into my bathroom door frame (way to go champ), I dragged my tired and yet excited behind over to watch the Saints/Panthers game at my friend Mike’s house. With my Zapps’ BBQ potato chips, of course. And for a variety of reasons, I ended…
I hear the train a comin’…
Folks, I had the distinct pleasure of visiting a local homebrewer yesterday to taste his award-winning beer, the absolutely delicious Man in Black Stout. And I tell you, I learned a TON. Virgil Russell, the chef of this special concocotion, gave me a crash course in homebrewing and the development of his recipe. The kind…
Larry? Check. Moe? Double Check. Curly? Always.
So what happens when you drink a lineup of 5 BEAUTIFUL Alsatian wines, followed by 5 reds, and start sipping on Champagne to boot? You realize you must go to the shore while the others play in the wine ocean so you can go dive head first into the beer pool. But hell, you might as well…
