Our friend Chris of the I Think About Beer blog asked several of our Craft Beer blogging buddies (ourselves included) for some non-traditional Thanksgiving Day dishes so that he could apply his food/beer pairing skills to come up with a beer that would go nicely with what we […]
One of the highlights from the 2013 Whisky Jewbilee was watching Jim Rutledge of Four Roses rinse my smoky dram coated glass with Four Roses Yellow Label Bourbon and then having him fill it with their 125th Anniversary Small Batch Bourbon. This memorable moment reminded me that I still had […]
Several weeks ago, Mrs. G-LO and I joined Mr. and Mrs. Alemonger for dinner at the Blue Monkey Tavern in Merchantville, NJ. The Blue Monkey Tavern is not new to us, but it’s one of those places that is far enough off the beaten path that it simply […]
The World. It’s a pretty nice place in the galaxy and one that we all want to visit every corner of. We must since we all talk about world travel: “I want to see the world!” “When we retire, we’re going to see the world.” “Dad, can we […]

For whatever reason (insanity perhaps?), he has accepted our offer, so please join […]
Looking for a little something to tide me over, I hit up the whisky closet and selected a soon-to-be-empty bottle of Kilchoman. I had bought the Machir Bay after sampling it during a WhiskyCast Virtual Tasting. While I am have not really been a big fan of peated whisky, I have […]
During our 10/10/13 excursion to NYC for the 2013 Whisky Jewbilee, Limpd and I stopped into Rattle N Hum, a Craft Beer-centric pub on East 33rd Street in Midtown Manhattan, for a quick lunch before our #WhiskyFabric meet up at Keens Steakhouse. This would be our first visit […]
While in search of the Samuel Smith Apricot and some Magner’s Pear Cider, I hit the English wall at Kress Liquors and picked up a couple of bottles of Fuller’s Black Cab Stout. I have had a number of beers from the Fuller’s lineup (the Fuller’s ESB, the […]
