There is absolutely nothing wrong with saying, “I don’t know”. In a world filled with “experts”, I find it refreshing when someone is honest enough to know the limits of their knowledge or skill set. “I don’t know” was the subject of a 2014 Freakonomics podcast titled “The […]
As I’ve previously noted, I’m a big fan of the beer flight and have had them served to me many different ways. This one time, I had a flight served to me on a paddle. This other time, I had a flight served to me on a ski. […]
Here we go again! Yet another Golden Ale with the aroma of 2AM, Oregon Diner coffee. The last beer that smelled like this came from the Windy City. The brewer of that beer was Goose Island. This time around, it’s a beer by the Billion Dollar Brewer, aka Ballast Point […]
I’m a big fan of the beer sampler as I find that it’s a great way to try a variety of beers either from a single brewer or from a variety of local brewers. This was the case when at Smugglers’ Notch, I had the opportunity to try an IPA from […]

With summer winding to a close, we (and by we, I mean Benita, The Urchins, and yours truly) headed up to Vermont for one last trip before school started up again (I really wanted school to start again, but with the seemingly endless stream of homemade lunches, after […]
