Not A Typical St. Patrick’s Day Beer Post

Bear with me while I vent…this post follows in the tradition of Mike’s “I’ve been randomly annoyed” posts. On the drive to work today I tuned into a radio station based out of Detroit.  I listened as the DJ’s hailed St. Patrick’s day as “the best holiday all year ’cause we can drink beer for [...]

All that’s gold is not gold: The winning of medals in the beer industry

Here is another installment of “I’ve been randomly annoyed” posts. Have you seen it? I know I have. You’re perusing your favorite liquor (or even better, beer store) and you see the beer case, box, or bottle with some mad bling donned on its grill.

Do You Believe Everything You Read?

I must admit, often times I pick up the newspaper or turn on CNN strictly out of a sense of duty to erudition.  Besides the fact the objective journalism never ceases to take a back seat to sensationalism, everything is just so negative…bad news sells.  So as I begrudgingly relaxed with a copy of The [...]

Spam: What’s worse the meat or the e-mail?

Normally we only talk about beer on this site.  For a moment I want to have a harangue about spam.  This is related to the site because it is happening on Thank Heaven for Beer.  When I get a little bit of spam on my e-mail, it doesn’t bother me that much.  I erase it.  My [...]
