San Francisco. It’s been on my short list of places to visit for quite some time, but for whatever reason, I just haven’t made it there yet. The Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Lombard Street, Fisherman’s Wharf, and numerous other sites are all on my “things to do in […]
I married a rocket scientist. Ok, not really. She’s a satellite engineer. Same difference. Well, not exactly, and Exactly is an art form for engineers. Numbers and formulas and complex algorithms are buzzing in her head constantly. She won’t admit it but she talks in her sleep and […]
The other day, G-LO came over to drop off #2 son. Never one to arrive empty-handed (as previously noted, his Mamma raised him right), he brought with him a bottle of Red Wheelbarrow from his favorite Maine brewer (and frequent summer vacation sanctuary), the Maine Beer Company. Of […]
Ungettable. That’s what Craft Beer and Whisky Geeks call that magical elixir that everyone wants, but few of us actually get. If you’re a Craft Beer Geek, then you already know how difficult it is to track down something like Founders KBS (Kentucky Breakfast Stout) and CBS (Canadian […]

While I consider myself to be someone that enjoys a wide variety of beer styles, I have yet to fully embrace the Pumpkin and Christmas Ales that have been all over the shelves the past few months. Don’t get me wrong, I have definitely stumbled upon a few […]
On the Saturday before Christmas, Mrs. G-LO and I were invited to attend a holiday party at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Bones (real names withheld to protect those that would rather not be associated with this blog. For the record, our buddy The Alemonger refers to Mrs. Bones as The […]
For those of you that are unfamiliar with the Kilchoman Distillery, here are a few brief facts: The Kilchoman Distillery was built in 2005, making it the first new distillery on Islay in over 124 years. They are one of the smallest Scottish distilleries and their annual output […]
