Way back in late August of 2017, Mrs. G-LO, The Boys, and I experienced some of the most bizarre and breathtakingly beautiful terrain that we have ever seen, in the place that they call Yellowstone National Park. During our travels in Western Wyoming, we… Got frighteningly close to […]
Platinum Blond is the 5th Papa’s Pilar expression that Limpd and I have reviewed here on our little corner of the interwebs. Since the last four expressions that we reviewed ticked all of our boxes when it comes to booze, ie… Pretty packaging, A great back story, And […]
My inbox gets flooded with crap. Million dollar orders. Free trips to visit friends in Nigeria. Pharmaceutical offers for problems I didn’t even know I have. But every once in awhile, something sneaks through that doesn’t immediately get flushed into a virtual American Standard 1.28 gpf commode. Last […]
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 […]

To understand what this really means, here’s what the bonnes gens (for you non-Français speakers, the English translation is “fine people”) at Flaviar have […]
After our beautiful 24 hours on Islay, the Spring Break 2018 trip to Scotland continued from Glasgow as we headed north to Ballachulish. Exiting the airport in the rented Land Rover was… challenging. We weren’t on Islay anymore. There were other cars to tailgate, pass, ward off and not hit. Yet, no […]
While packing for the shore, I received a text from G-LO (he had just come back from his biennial pilgrimage to Canadia, aka Maine, and brought back some new beers for me to try) informing me that my “Maine Brewers To-Go Bag” (this isn’t really a thing, but […]
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 […]
