It’s after 9PM on a random Saturday night, when all the kiddies are fast asleep. Clear skies, comfortable temperatures, and no chance of rain. The “Is the bar open tonight?” text messages start flying: Wookie texts G-LO, G-LO texts The ROK, The ROK texts Limpd, and so on. By 10PM, […]

Beer Review – Goose Island Sofie

By G-LO on September 29, 2010 • ( 13 Comments )

I know I know. Yet another Saison/Farmhouse Ale review. I just can’t get away from this stuff! I’d never heard of Goose Island Beer Company till I dropped by the Alemonger’s house to watch some Monday Night Football. As luck would have it, the Chicago Bears were playing […]

Things I Learned At My High School Reunion

By G-LO on September 26, 2010 • ( 2 Comments )

Rumors of a high school reunion had swirled around for many years, but it wasn’t until someone said “no spouses allowed” that plans for our 20th reunion finally came together. Although my wife mocked the concept (since I went to an all boys Catholic high school, she calls […]

Free Budweiser!

By G-LO on September 23, 2010 • ( 5 Comments )

Could the rise of the Craft Beer industry result in the eventual demise of Budweiser? I doubt it, but they are losing business thanks to the refined tastes and adventurous palates of the under-30 market. Bud’s latest plan: free beer! Personally, I’d much rather pay for a good […]

Beer Review – Brooklyn Oktoberfest

By G-LO on September 15, 2010 • ( Leave a comment )

It’s always worth paying a little extra for convenience. This past Monday, I decided to take a slight detour before getting on PATCO to head home, so I walked two blocks to The Foodery and picked up a mixed six-pack of beer. I estimate that The Foodery is […]

Oktoberfest!

This Saturday marks the official kick-off of the 2010 Oktoberfest. The festival lasts 16-days and is held each year in Munich, Germany. Here are some interesting Oktoberfest facts: The first Oktoberfest was held in 1810 to celebrate the marriage of Prince Ludwig of Bavaria to Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen. […]

Whisky Review – Talisker Distiller’s Edition

By G-LO on September 9, 2010 • ( 6 Comments )

It’s always fun to spend someone else’s money, and that’s exactly what I did when I received some cash from the family for my 43rd birthday. I COULD have spent the money on something practical like clothes, but where’s the fun in that? Christmas and my birthday are […]

Beer Review – Stone Levitation Ale

By G-LO on September 8, 2010 • ( 1 Comment )

Stone has made some rather lofty claims with the naming of this beer. Will it leave me floating on air? Can I now defy gravity? Stone has some of the classiest looking labeling on their bottles, and their beers generally pour beautifully. If I were to judge this beer on […]

Whisky Review – Port Charlotte PC6 Cuairt-Beatha

By G-LO on September 6, 2010 • ( Leave a comment )

On the night of the 2nd Annual Kipling Road Whisky Fest, I was reminded by Miracle Max that I was 1/3 owner of a bottle of very rare and very expensive Single Malt Whisky (only 18,000 bottles were distributed and the average price is $120 for 750ml). Luckily, […]
