A while back, I met G-Lo for lunch and on the way back to the train, I heard the siren’s call and found myself in the Foodery. Along with a number of sours (to further my education), I picked up a beer that I was fairly certain I […]
While Limpd is not the biggest fan of the classic Islay whiskies (the intensely smoky ones), he has found his way to Islay on numerous occasions thanks to the Bruichladdich and Bunnahabhain distilleries. I’m pretty sure that at one point he had a bottle of the Bunnahabhain 12 […]
A few weeks ago, The Alemonger sent me a photo via text (for those of you that sweat the details, this happened on February 23rd at 5:01 PM) of the latest Maine Beer Company beer (i.e. Lil One) that he purchased at the Wegman’s Wine and Spirits store […]

I bought this bottle of Petrus Aged Pale by mistake during a recent lunch time beer run to The Foodery. I know what you’re thinking. How does one buy a beer by mistake? Here’s how it happened… After reading a positively mouth watering review of a Petrus beer […]
On January 22nd, I received the following email from Berenice Gonzalez, a public relations representative at FORMULATIN in New York City: By now many of your readers may have already given up on their “get in shape” or “get organized” New Year’s resolutions. But it doesn’t mean that […]
