Last night, The Wookie and I gathered at Limpd’s house for a long overdue post-Christmas drinking session (The ROK was MIA). I walked over with a backpack which contained a big bottle of Christmas Ale, a bottle of Rye whiskey, a bottle of Single Malt Scotch, and a […]
On the day after Christmas, the first big snowstorm of the season was expected to hit the Northeastern US. We spent our Sunday morning relaxing with the kids and waiting for friends to stop by for lunch on their way home to Connecticut. Though we originally planned to cook a […]
The first time I saw a bottle of Flying Dog beer, I immediately thought of the poster for Fear and Loathing Las Vegas, the Terry Gilliam film that starred Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro, which was based on the Hunter S. Thompson novel of the same name. […]
The last time I had a Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout was about two years ago when The ROK stopped over for a few drinks. I remember having one of these, plus two or three more beers. I also remember feeling quite intoxicated after that last beer. It wasn’t […]
Next up in the Samuel Smith lineup was the Oatmeal Stout. The pour was a dark, dark brown with brown, lasting foam. The aroma was strong on roasted malt with the hint of burnt chocolate. The mouth feel was thick and full and the taste of chocolate […]
I’m still a relative newbie when it comes to craft beer. Great Lakes Brewing Company was one of my Philly Beer Week discoveries when I had there Elliot Ness Amber Lager at Vargas Bar. Since it was such a good beer, I thought I should branch out and […]

Earlier this week, Limpd and I decided that we would have lunch on Friday at The Oyster House in Center City. The Oyster House, which opened in 2009, is located on the 1500 block of Sansom Street (1516 Sansom Street to be exact). The restaurant is housed in […]
On a recent trip to the Poconos with the Mrs. and the urchins, we stopped off at the Edelweiss Restaurant for dinner. The restaurant located on Route 940, Pocono Lake, PA 18347 (for reservations: 570-646-3938) and from the outside doesn’t resemble all that much. Inside, however, the dining […]
Prior to the 2010 Philly Beer Week, I’d never heard of Ballast Point Brewing Company. My first exposure to their beers was when I had a Sculpin IPA at Good Dog Bar. It was love at first sip! I had my second at Devil’s Den later that summer, […]
