This week I am off with the in-laws on a family vacation to the Jersey shore. This is the equivalent to dry dock for me but I have gotten the pre-approval to take an assorted case of Mike’s Hard Lemonade for consumption by the masses. While I have […]
Last weekend, G-Lo, the Wookie and the ROK gathered for a rum tasting. Okay, so tasting might sound a little lofty but it sounds better than a couple of neighbors out drinking in the yard. The Wookie had just returned from a trip to the USVI and was […]
Last Thursday, my better half let me know that the urchins had infested the Wookie’s yard and we were coordinating pizza for dinner. Not one to arrive empty-handed, I stopped at the local shop to purchase a cold six-pack suitable for sharing. (As it was still just Thursday, […]
At a “business” lunch at the Good Dog, I had the most pleasant opportunity to order a second beer. I settled on a Lagunitas IPA for two reasons. First, I had had other Lagunitas offerings before and thoroughly enjoyed them. The second reason was that the Lagunitas was […]

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 […]
The first time I heard about this beer was just before Philly Beer Week. The Philadelphia Weekly, a free newspaper that is available every Wednesday throughout the Metro Philly area, had a Philly Beer Week insert that outlined the events for the week, and also featured interviews with […]
Last Friday, I took it upon myself to introduce a coworker to a neighbor in the hopes of furthering our relationship with the neighbor’s employer. Of course, my motives may not have been all altruistic as a free lunch was in store for me. We selected the Good […]
