Now this post isn’t really about beer, at least not specifically. It is about a charity event that takes place in a bar so there’ll probably be beer consumed. That’s good enough for me. Oh yeah, and it’s my blog so I’ll write about whatever the hell I want. From what I can gather from [...]

Hey all, it’s been awhile since I’ve been active on here (still looking for one of those elusive full-time jobs) so I thought I would kick things back off with my latest recipe. But rather than just post a recipe I have decided to share my personal experiences as well. When my wife and I [...]

“Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” That oh so famous (and completely true) quotation is often attributed to that affable patriot and diplomat, Ben Franklin. While Franklin never really uttered those now-famous words – he was more of a wine drinker, I guess – when I saw the [...]

Five Great Late Summertime Beers

While summer may be slowly winding down, there’s still plenty of time left for backyard barbecues and hammock-swinging laziness.

Given that I’ve been out of a job for about four months now it’s a pretty rare thing for the wife and I to head out for drinks anymore (It’s cheaper to homebrew, anyway!), so when I finally got the go ahead to visit the Flying Saucer in Addison, TX I was pretty pumped. I [...]

I don’t really know what it is about the Chinese that makes me think that they are such a morally backwards and ideologically straitjacketed nation. Maybe it’s the communist rule. Maybe it’s their iron-fisted control of the media. Or maybe it’s because they have found a way to stop the influx of such reprehensible products [...]

When it comes to hops there’s no disputing their impact on the overall flavor and character of a beer. From the smack in the face punch of an Imperial IPA to the subtle notes found in an Irish Stout, hops help to make a beer what it is. Our friends over at the American Hop [...]

I came across this advertisement for Ursus Beer today when I was scouring for other things. Isn’t it funny how you just run into something that makes you laugh out loud? Just in case you were wondering, Ursus is a Romanian brewery and they have one hell of a sense of humor.
