Drinking is fun. Hangovers are not. There is no real cure for a hangover, but there are ways to minimize the damage. Here is my regimen: After an extended drinking session, you need something in your belly to absorb the alcohol. Breakfast food always works. Eggs, home fries, […]
Since fall is right around the corner, and since today’s temperature hasn’t gone above 75 (first time in over 2 months!), I thought I would change things up and review a dark beer. I usually like Smuttynose beers, so I’m going with their Robust Porter for today’s brew […]
