Chapter 1 – The Package It was an unusually cold April evening. G-LO decided to work a bit later than usual. The wife and kids were out of town. The office…a veritable ghost town thanks to Spring Break, Passover, and Easter falling on the same week. If ever […]
Our relationship with Anderson Valley has been a rocky one. Over the past five years, we’ve reviewed eight of their beers, and our feelings about each of them has ranged from fair to middling. The beers haven’t been bad, but they haven’t been very memorable either. Meh all around is how […]
Several years ago, when we first started up this here blog, we were having issues with any whisky that came from a distillery whose name began with the letter “T”. If my memory serves me correctly, I believe it was a Tamdhu (we called it “Tam-don’t”) and a […]
In a prior post, I noted how G-LO and I try to exemplify the great parents that we are by getting our boys together for a little fun on the weekend. On this particular day, while the boys were doing their thing, G-LO and I had an opportunity to […]

Buckle up, Boys and Girls! G-LO and I are taking you on a rip roaring, pedal to the metal road trip through the Rocky Mountains and Big Sky country! Our journey begins in Bozeman, MT where we sample some RoughStock Montana Pure Malt Whisky. Our second stop will […]

On February 25th, 9:48pm. G-LO and Aaron text each other: G-LO: Someone must be having fun. Or she was abducted by Scotsmen! AK: Fell into a big spit jug somewhere? Partying at St Patrick’s? * * Aaron meant to say St. Andrews. Give the guy a break, he’s Jewish […]
The other day, G-LO suggested that I come over to do a “quick” review. Not surprisingly, the “quick” review involving a single beer devolved into reviews of two additional whiskies, and then a few more drams just for good measure. Well, before the whisky nonsense, we sampled the […]
