Last Friday, I took it upon myself to introduce a coworker to a neighbor in the hopes of furthering our relationship with the neighbor’s employer. Of course, my motives may not have been all altruistic as a free lunch was in store for me. We selected the Good […]
It’s Wednesday night and with my corporate travel program, I had just enough miles to qualify for a trip to Pittsburgh. Actually, I had a quick overnight trip to the Burgh for work and found myself in the Ruth’s Chris bar with a little time on my hands. […]
A new distributor opened in the neighborhood and allows for the purchase of split six packs. As I perused the aisles, I was drawn to other offerings from Merchant du Vin. Always a fan of their Samuel Smith’s, I thought I would give the Lindemans Lambics a try. […]
It’s Wednesday night and what better way to watch a baseball game then with a cold beer. My choice for this evening is a Leinenkugel’s Creamy Dark. What a surprising brew? There was the strong aroma, a little chocolate, a little burnt. There was the strong pour … […]
While a Thursday baby shower took place at G-Lo’s, I offered him an estrogen free zone as a refuge. While in the bunker, we split a Gale’s Prize Old Ale. This product is brewed by George Gale & Co Ltd which is now a subsidiary of Fuller, Smith […]
In the middle of the week, I selected another pint to satisfy my thirst and curiosity. I poured out a Paulaner Hefe Weizen.

On Monday, I was forced (?) to go to G-Lo’s house to retrieve several Bakugans that were left behind by my 6 yr old. Having been raised properly, I did not show up empty-handed. I presented G-Lo with a bottle of Wells Bombardier (ABV of 5.2% http://www.bombardier.co.uk). As […]
While over G-Lo’s house, we sampled several brews in addition to Leinenkugel’s Summer Shandy. We lead off the evening with a SamuelSmith Pure Brewed Lager (ABV of 5%) (www.merchantduvin.com). I had brought over an 18.7 ounce bottle (a “Victorian” pint), that we split. As a fan of all […]
8:00 rolled around and I safely navigated the demilitarized zone and made it to the ROK with a crock pot full of meatballs and a tucker tote filled with whisky. Mr. and Mrs. Miracle Max and the ROK were joined by the Wookie and G-Lo as I dropped off […]
