The first time I saw a bottle of Flying Dog beer, I immediately thought of the poster for Fear and Loathing Las Vegas, the Terry Gilliam film that starred Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro, which was based on the Hunter S. Thompson novel of the same name. […]
Every December for the past 9 or 10 years, Mrs. G-LO and I have been invited to our friends Patty and Rob’s home for Crafty Day. Crafty Day, which is always one of the highlights of the holiday season, is an afternoon of eating, drinking, and spending time with some […]
The last time I had a Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout was about two years ago when The ROK stopped over for a few drinks. I remember having one of these, plus two or three more beers. I also remember feeling quite intoxicated after that last beer. It wasn’t […]
