I’ve been mulling for some time what kind of beer to drink on New Year’s Eve, and I’ve settled on two. Interestingly enough, according to this article beer is now the drink of choice for New Year’s Eve over wine and spirits.
The first is a Belgian Ale, perhaps maybe even a nice flavorful triple. Why? […]

Before Christmas I wrote a number of posts on what to give for Christmas. Interestingly enough, I received very few of those things, but that’s not to say I didn’t receive any beer-related presents. To the contrary.
One of the gifts I’ve enjoyed most is beer smarts, a set of trivia cards about (you guessed it) […]

Topix.com led me to this interesting article from the Rocky Mountain news about silly laws relating to drinking. Amusing, but quite pathetic, really.

I’ve written about glasses before, and at some point I’ll write about beer temperature, but it probably won’t come as a great surprise to anyone who has read this blog for any period of time that I don’t like frosted mugs. Frosted mugs result in a beer that’s too cold in the beginning followed by […]
