It’s once again time for the Brewer’s Plate, a major fundraising event for Fair Food, an organization dedicated to bringing healthy local food to the marketplace while promoting a humane and sustainable agriculture system for the region. Brewer’s Plate was the brainchild of Bill Covaleski, Brewmaster & President of Victory […]
Buckle up, Boys and Girls! G-LO and I are taking you on a rip roaring, pedal to the metal road trip through the Rocky Mountains and Big Sky country! Our journey begins in Bozeman, MT where we sample some RoughStock Montana Pure Malt Whisky. Our second stop will […]
As we do on the weekend, G-LO and I try to exemplify the great parents that we are by getting our boys together for a little fun. Oddly, this usually involves the boys cemented in front of a gaming station, while G-LO and I are ensconced at the […]
On February 25th, 9:48pm. G-LO and Aaron text each other: G-LO: Someone must be having fun. Or she was abducted by Scotsmen! AK: Fell into a big spit jug somewhere? Partying at St Patrick’s? * * Aaron meant to say St. Andrews. Give the guy a break, he’s Jewish […]

Back stories. Love em! Can’t get enough of em! So before I get to my review of the Italian liqueur that you see in the above photo, let me tell you a bit about how I got my grubby mitts on this sample… ______________________________________________ Way back in late […]
The Wedding Slinger, a cocktail that we discussed briefly in our review of “Brooklyn Spirits: Craft Cocktails and Stories from the World’s Hippest Borough“, takes a seriously potent and delicious cocktail (i.e. the Manhattan), and adds a healthy dose of Ginger Ale to it, thus transforming it into […]
Glenlivet. Glenfiddich. Glen Grant. Glenfarclas. Glengoyne. Glenmorangie. Glenrothes. Glen Campbell. Scott Glenn. Glengarry Glen Ross (a double Glen!). There are other Glens out there. So so many Glens. This of course begs the question: Will any Glen do? It might if you’re Jon Favreau in Swingers… But not […]
