Recently, in an effort to expand my beer horizons, I had G-LO over to debate the merits of smoked beers. I had picked up two beautiful bottles from Brauerei Heller-Trum / Schlenkerla. The first was the Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Urbock which I found to be fantastic. The second is the […]
A while ago, G-LO came over with his boys. While they scampered around the yard, G-LO and I took up our post on The Barthenon (I mean as good parents keeping a watchful eye over our children, where else would we go?). Anyway, we sat around the table […]

Here are some interesting Oktoberfest facts: The first Oktoberfest was held in 1810 to celebrate the marriage of Prince Ludwig of Bavaria to Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen. […]
