Since today is International #IPAday (click here to read more about it), I thought that I would write a review of a beer that most Craft Beer drinkers know very well: Stone Brewing Company’s India Pale Ale. Actually, #IPAday is my second reason for writing this review. My […]
While it’s nice to be my mother-in-law’s favorite son-in-law (interestingly enough, I am also her ONLY son-in-Law), this dubious honor comes with an occasional string attached. This past February, my in-laws asked me to pick them up in New York City after their 10-day Caribbean cruise on the […]
Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve been getting a taste of the intense summer heat that our friends in the Midwest have been dealing with all summer long. Since last Friday’s forecast called for temperatures exceeding 100 degrees, Mrs. G-LO and I thought we were going to […]
Recently, I redeemed a Father’s Day gift certificate for lunch at the Wishing Well. As I had opted for a Shame Burger, I needed a bigger beer to compensate for all of the meat. To that end, from the extensive beer menu, I selected a beer from Ballast […]

I had stopped in to Kress Liquors to check out their assortment of canned beer for an upcoming pool party. Always a sucker for proper merchandising, I wandered over to the import wall and immediately was struck by the Old Engine Oil. I put together a couple of […]
When a beer is called the Lake Erie Monster (aka South Bay Bessie) , I can’t help but think that I’ll need the help of a Superhero to defeat it (i.e. polish off the bottle in its entirety). In the latest Craft Beer/Superhero pairing, I have enlisted the […]
For Father’s Day the rascals presented me with a gift certificate to the Wishing Well. Actually, this was just an attempt by the wife to Italian up the children with a trip to South Philly. To placate her
