I found myself in Kansas City recently for work. At the Residence Inn, they offer a complementary dinner Monday through Wednesday with your choice of beer or wine. While I might miss my family, I do try to make the most of my trip. So, I found myself […]
Well, another Beer Friday has rolled around and I find myself at PJ Whelihan’s in Blue Bell. Always an enjoyable lunch, but this one was made even better by the table on the patio and the Lagunitas on tap. I have had a number of Lagunitas’ offerings in […]
As of this writing, Maine Beer Company lists a total of eight beers on their website. If you count this review, I have so far covered seven of them. I guess I’m sort of like Ray Kinsella from Field of Dreams when it comes to Maine Beer Company. […]
A while ago, I had stopped at Roger Wilco to pick up a mixed six and grabbed a Southern Tier Old Man Winter Ale as one of the six. Sadly, over the ensuing months, the beer fridge has seen its fair share of Gogurts and yogurts and half […]

After reading The Alemonger’s latest post titled “The Idiots’s Guide to Holy Ales”, I made the following comment: I see where you’re going with these rules. While I don’t really follow the whole limited release madness that consumes many a Beer Geek (I’m looking at you Philly Beer Peeps […]
