Once again, G-LO darkened my doorstep (it seems I start a lot of posts with this). Truth be told, I invited G-LO over for a short session. When I queried if it was to be whiskey or beer, he suggested that we do some research. This is his […]
I’ve heard of Calvados. I’ve read about Calvados. But I’ve never actually tasted Calvados. That all changed when I attended a Calvados tasting that was led by Jason Wilson (he wrote Boozehound), a man that absolutely adores Calvados. How do I know that Mr. Wilson adores Calvados? That’s […]

A few weeks ago, while I was sweltering in the stands at a 7U baseball tournament, G-LO was living large at Pour-A-Palooza. Normally, I would insert some sort of snarky comment contrasting my exemplary parenting skills (I was staked out in the hot sun, all for a wee […]

Yes. The Gargoyle is there. On the label. On the neck. And even on the cap. But this time around, there’s no Arrogance or Self Righteousness to be found. Deliciousness is what this IPA is all about. It says so on the label. Lemondrop and El Dorado Hops? […]
As I mentioned at the end of “45 Hours in LA, Part III“, there were pub crawl rumblings afoot for my last night in town. We knew where we’d be starting the evening’s festivities (Tom Bergin’s Public House in West Hollywood), but the rest of the night was […]
