A lively little discussion over at Beer and Whiskey Bros was the fodder that fed the idea behind this weeks Sip With Us Saturday beer. Don thought Boulevard’s Collaboration 1 to be over valued, and I thought the opposite. Head over there and give us your two cents. Here’s the deal… A little disagreement doesn’t [...]
The older I get, the more difficult I find it is to stay awake at certain times. I can’t even drive at night anymore. I would fall asleep at the wheel if I drove too late, I fall asleep at church (shhh!), I fall asleep at the computer, etc. Maybe as I get older my [...]
Even bad situations can yield positive results
This Friday Mike and I are leaving our respective dwelling places and travel to the sunny paradise of Munster, Indiana. We are not making the trek for the sand, surf, and sun. It is the call of Dark Lord. We would love to make the actual Dark Lord brew the Sip With Us Saturday for [...]

Upon looking at the selection, I realized that I had tasted every offering available to me, from the Bashah, to the 09 09 09, to the California Belgique EXCEPT for the Ruination IPA. Heresy, I know. The [...]
A thought occurred to me lately: one of my doctors knows that I homebrew and essentially hinted that he would love to try some. I know that he likes decent beer and really is an appreciator of wine. For that reason, I took him a homebrew. Loving to share my brews is truly one of [...]
Sip with us Saturday is becoming a ritual among a few elite…okay, so it’s less than even a few and none of us are very elite. However, that doesn’t mean we can’t sip something from the Brewing elite. What I’m suggesting for this week is that you sip on something that’s Stone. If you choose [...]
Many of my fellow writers have already posted that we should be expecting Brew Dog’s Tactical Nuclear Penguin to hit shelves in the U.S. very soon. Trust me, getting the beer this way is much cheaper. The price of buying from overseas and the shipping to do so are pretty hefty. But actually, I’m not [...]
