The other day, G-LO came by for a little beer tasting and I rolled out the Dogfish Head Midas Touch. I had picked up a couple of bottles as part of a mixed six from the craft wall at Victor’s Liquors. We have tried a number of the […]
And now for something completely different… Perhaps it’s my Sicilian heritage, but whenever someone says, “I have a surprise for you”, two thoughts immediately cross my mind: (1) “Uh oh! What did I do now?, and (2) “What’s this gonna cost me?”. Thankfully, when Mrs. G-LO uttered this […]
Much like Watermelon Day, Margarita Day, Blueberry Muffin Day, Pizza Day, and any other food/drink-centric day you can think of, #IPAday is just an excuse to eat or drink one particular thing on one particular day. But who am I to complain? I always welcome the opportunity to […]
On a recent trip to NY, I ventured out to find a local beer to bring back to the fellow Dancers. Without any research, I picked up two sixes from Keegan Ales of
Since today is International #IPAday (click here to read more about it), I thought that I would write a review of a beer that most Craft Beer drinkers know very well: Stone Brewing Company’s India Pale Ale. Actually, #IPAday is my second reason for writing this review. My […]

I have been a fan of bourbon whiskey since the late 80s when I first had a taste of Old Grand Dad. I guess you could say that Old Grand Dad was my gateway bourbon. Right around the early to mid 90s, I became aware of Jim Beam’s […]
Several miscommunications. Two fired up little boys. A hot sticky day in the Delaware Valley. Two Delaware River crossings to South Philly. Not much food in the fridge, but several tasty beers on hand. That pretty much sums up my Saturday from 10AM to 8PM. I get home […]
