By G-LO on March 13, 2014 • ( 6 Comments )

A couple of years ago, Flying Fish Brewing Company launched their Exit Series of beers. The “Exit” refers to an exit of the New Jersey Turnpike, and is Flying Fish’s way of messing around with the ubiquitous “What Exit?” joke that every NJ resident is subjected to whenever […]

With St. Patrick’s Day right around the corner, Limpd and I decided that we would finally sit down to review some Knappogue Castle Irish whiskey samples that we recently received from Castle Brands. While we have heard many positive things about Knappogue Castle, this is the first time […]

Cowboys, lassos. cattle drives, and wide open prairies. That’s what comes to mind when I hear the word ranch. I also get visions of Robert Duvall in Lonesome Dove asking poor Diane Lane for a poke… As it turns out, I am completely off base. Hop Ranch has […]
