Way back in December of 2017, Limpd, @SamSpeers (of Twitter and #WhiskyFabric fame), and Yours Truly took part in a WhiskyCast Tasting Panel with none other than Mr. WhiskyCast himself, Mark Gillespie. During this pre-Christmas tasting, we sampled three whiskies: Oban 14; The Glenburgie 15 from the Ballantine’s […]
Once again, my generous neighbor and drinking task-master darkened my doorstep. In his hands were a number of samples that MUST be reviewed (his words, not mine. Can’t I just drink, savor, and NOT be REQUIRED to take notes every once in a while? Work! Work! Work! That’s […]
I was down the shore working while Benita and The Urchins were off to the waterpark. As a reward for my endeavors, I popped open a bomber of Victory’s Java Cask, a Coffee Stout aged in Bourbon Barrels. I acquired this bottle in a white elephant swap at work […]

Way back in August of 2013, Limpd attended the First Pour at Iron Hill Brewery’s Voorhees location on his own, and last night, I attended the First Pour at Iron Hill’s brand spanking new Center City Philadelphia location (it officially opens on September 13th) on my own. What is […]
Mesquite is a quirky and prolific species of plant. Native to the American Southwest, Texas, and northern Mexico, it’s a plant or tree in its numerous varieties that conjures up cowboys, vacqueros, and Spaghetti Westerns. Part of the legume family, the tree grows funkily and wide with twists […]
This blog post marks the 10th different Crown Royal expression that we’ve reviewed on our little corner of the internet. Some we loved, some we liked, some we were kinda meh about, and one we just didn’t understand. While our experiences with Crown Royal have been a bit of […]
