The Wookie Speaks: Maxing out Mussels and Beer at Max’s Seafood Cafe
Max’s Seafood Cafe has long been a favorite for our family. Their mussels are to die for and the beer list is awesome.
Free Budweiser!
Could the rise of the Craft Beer industry result in the eventual demise of Budweiser? I doubt it, but they are losing business thanks to the refined tastes and adventurous palates of the under-30 market. Bud’s latest plan: free beer! Personally, I’d much rather pay for a good […]
Beer Review – Brooklyn Oktoberfest
It’s always worth paying a little extra for convenience. This past Monday, I decided to take a slight detour before getting on PATCO to head home, so I walked two blocks to The Foodery and picked up a mixed six-pack of beer. I estimate that The Foodery is […]
Oktoberfest!

It’s always fun to spend someone else’s money, and that’s exactly what I did when I received some cash from the family for my 43rd birthday. I COULD have spent the money on something practical like clothes, but where’s the fun in that? Christmas and my birthday are […]
Beer Review – Stone Levitation Ale
Stone has made some rather lofty claims with the naming of this beer. Will it leave me floating on air? Can I now defy gravity? Stone has some of the classiest looking labeling on their bottles, and their beers generally pour beautifully. If I were to judge this beer on […]
Whisky Review – Port Charlotte PC6 Cuairt-Beatha
On the night of the 2nd Annual Kipling Road Whisky Fest, I was reminded by Miracle Max that I was 1/3 owner of a bottle of very rare and very expensive Single Malt Whisky (only 18,000 bottles were distributed and the average price is $120 for 750ml). Luckily, […]

Let’s mix things up a bit and try a cocktail! Thanks to our friends at Esquire and The Twilight Lounge, I picked the Aviation Cocktail as my experiment for the evening. You can follow the links to their websites for a bit of Aviation Cocktail history. Here’s the […]
