Apparently this is the week of the stupid beer drinker (well, it is a holiday week in the US). After I reported on the three teens who robbed a convenience store and left a trail of beer cans behind, I came across this little gem…
On the other end of the age spectrum, a 74 […]

Some stories, no matter how silly, are just too good to pass up. Like this one…
In my home state of North Carolina, a trail of beer cans helped police solve a break-in in Roanoke Rapids. Around 5:30 a.m. on June 30, three teenagers smashed the windows of a local market, stealing the cash […]

One of my favorite cities in the world is Cardiff, Wales. It’s really lovely, the people are just wonderful and they make a good beer.

For anyone who cares, I did in fact crack open my bottle of La JBK from Kohler Rehm, and it’s neither dark nor a Maibock. To be honest, I have no idea what it was, but it was reasonably tasty, if a little on the sweet side.
I still have no idea what the name […]

Yesterday I wrote about Vogelbräu, a brewpub in Karlsruhe Germany. I had neglected to mention that, not only was it an evening with perfect biergarten weather it was asparagus season, as you can see from the above photo.
Now, for those of us who grew up with green asparagus, those funny looking white things in […]
