For Jersey Week, we hit Disney. I say hit because my better half doesn’t just have an itinerary but more of a plan for annexation and domination. Fortunately, during the trip we hit Epcot. For you novices out there, Epcot has two sections: Future World and World Showcase. World […]
As I have said on numerous occasions, the most rewarding aspect of all this blogging business has been the opportunity to interact with other likeminded people across all of the Social Media platforms. While a good bit of silliness and hilarity ensues on most occasions, there is also […]
While away for Jersey Week, I set out to find a little refreshment as a salve to ease the pain of wandering the happiest place on Earth. While there may be a lot of rides and a lot of chain restaurants, there just aren’t enough liquor stores (seems […]
Several weeks ago, Mrs. G-LO and I joined Mr. and Mrs. Alemonger for dinner at the Blue Monkey Tavern in Merchantville, NJ. The Blue Monkey Tavern is not new to us, but it’s one of those places that is far enough off the beaten path that it simply […]

I first had the Yards Brewing Company Cape of Good Hope in cask form during a 2012 dinner with Mrs. G-LO at Amis, a Marc Vetri restaurant in Center City Philadelphia. About two months ago, I almost had it again in cask form at Alla Spina, yet another […]
Recently, G-LO had posted about the Yunkin’ Punkin’ Ale from Manayunk Brewing Co. In the comments, the Alemonger had suggested that the only two pumpkin beers worth a try were Southern Tier’s Pumking Imperial Pumpkin Ale and Shipyard’s Smashed Pumpkin. Since we had already tried the Pumking, I went […]
