I don’t really understand how facebook works, but apparently users have been using a facebook application called beer wars to rate and promote their favorite beers. The beer wars people describe it as follows:
In case you don’t already know, Beer Wars is a cool new Facebook app that allows you to nominate:

Last weekend I managed to finally make it to the new incarnation of the Dock Street brewpub, which is pretty pathetic considering I had planned to go when they first opened. For those who don’t know, Dock Street was a Philadelphia-based pioneer of micro-brewed beers back in the 80s, at one point vying with Sam […]

As a beer lover, I’ve often considered brewing my own beer. The possibilities seem endless - brown ales, pale ales, stouts, fancy Belgian-style beers - all for a little effort and at a significantly lower cost than the same number of cases of beer. That, and I’d truly understand and know my beers.

A few weeks ago I had a delightful lunch with my wife at the Belgian Café, a delightful new Belgian bar in the Fairmount section of Philadelphia (kind of a Monk’s north, for those who know the popular Belgian bar in Center City Philadelphia.

Ok, this is going to be the last gift post of the year, since if you don’t finish your Christmas shopping today you need to get off the computer and get to the store. Let’s face it, after today no one’s going to deliver anything you order in time for Christmas anyway, so it’s bricks […]

So, I haven’t written about our decorating style because, well, decorating is not one of my priorities in life. There is one decorating decision we made some time ago which I both enjoy and regret, and which is actually relevant to this blog.

It’s been a rough ride for Colorado thus far in the World Series, so I thought I’d give them another chance by comparing the strength of beers from Colorado with those of Massachusetts (much of which, let’s face it, is a suburb of Boston anyway).

I’ve mentioned it here and here, but I have always enjoyed Augustiner’s beers. For those of you who have spent any time in Munich, you’ll know that Augustiner is not nearly as well represented across the city as Paulaner, Löwenbräu and Spaten, but when you get the chance to order one, do (preferably an Edelstoff, […]
