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 […]
Prior to embarking upon our booze infused blogging adventures, we never took rum all that seriously. A mixer is what we called it, and most of our experiences involved tropical drinks made with white or golden rum such as the Pina Colada, Bahama Mama, Mojito, Daiquiri, Painkiller, and Mai Tai. […]
Coffee. That and a hot shower are what really get me going in the morning. After booting up the computer, the number one priority when I arrive at my office in the morning is the walk to the Keurig machine for my morning jolt of caffeine. Emails and […]
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 […]

Yes. The Gargoyle is there. On the label. On the neck. And even on the cap. But this time around, there’s no Arrogance or Self Righteousness to be found. Deliciousness is what this IPA is all about. It says so on the label. Lemondrop and El Dorado Hops? […]
