Forgive me for being emotional about this. I just have to say it. Nate and I really do not mean to become tiresome about our recent Kickstarter launch. We know there is plenty of time and believe it will work out perfectly fine. But I do want to take a second to brag about something [...]

Nate and I were recently contacted by a journalist over at Daily Finance/AOL. Anyway, we got a nice little quote and a link to our article about the cost of hops. The Daily Finance article is less about craft beer specifically and more about beer in general. Still, it was nice to get a bit [...]
Blog stats are an interesting phenomenon. At first they become an indispensible measure of how good or bad a blog is, next they become a strived after commodity, then they become a curiosity. Who hasn’t felt at least a few of these perceptions creeping in the back of their mind? I know I have. Lately, [...]

Personally, I find that giving up certain practices or refraining from various activities can be a rich and rewarding experience. As some of you know, Nate and I both are practicing Christians. Both of us choose to see our faith a [...]
For those of you who read regularly, you know that I am a bit obsessed with brewing and really enjoy the process. In addition, I make no secret of the fact that I love food. I absolutely adore new types, varieties, and flavors of food. To be more specific, I especially love foods that involve [...]
Not all beers are created equal, including Odell’s De-con-struc-tion Ale. It’s not that De-con-struc-tion is bad…it is astonishingly superb. I first had a sip of this beer at a KC Gents meeting, which is a group of guys in the KC Metro area who get together to drink and discuss beer. I don’t know who [...]
