I’m not really sure what the above scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail has to do with a Boozy Root Beer Float. They did say the word “float” over and over again, so I guess there’s that as a possible connection. Whatever the reason, once that […]
Death By Coconut. This should be the title for the final episode of a Gilligan’s Island re-boot. I’m thinking a 13 episode mini-series for Netflix or Amazon Prime, written by David Lynch and directed by Michel Gondry. The cast would be as follows: Jason Segal as Gilligan John Carroll […]
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 […]
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 […]

This year’s summer vacation was spent just outside Smoky Mountain National Park (we also spent a night in Nashville, but that’s the subject of another not yet written blog post). On night number one of our vacation, after getting the wife and kids settled in to our cabin with […]
I won’t be telling any tales in this review. Just the facts! That’s all you’re gonna get. The brewer of this beer (Boulevard of Kansas City, Missouri) calls this a “slightly sour ale”. Based upon my first sip, I can’t argue with that description. Wait. Let’s back up […]
As I was drinking this beer at “The Murder Table” (that’s what Limpd calls the island in our newly renovated kitchen), I kept asking myself, “What’s a grunion?”. It turns out that a grunion is a type of fish which is indigenous to Southern California and northern Baja […]
