“There are no accidents.” – Master Oogway It’s a rare occurrence when the word “accident” is associated with a positive outcome (we’ll call there rarities, Happy Accidents). It just so happens that Innis & Gunn, a Scottish Craft Brewer based in Edinburgh, was born from one such Happy […]
Back in June of 2013, the New York Times reported that “flavored whisky” was one of the fastest growing segments of the spirits industry. Cherry, cinnamon, maple syrup, ginger, honey, and apple are just a few of the flavors that are being added to a spirit that we […]
Christmas is over, and we’re well into 2015, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t crack open one of those holiday beers that you didn’t get to try during the actual holiday season. One such holiday beer that I didn’t get to try until after New Year’s Day […]

The other day, G-LO came over for our regular session (it’s so important that we keep up our workout routine!) and brought with him a couple of beers to try. One of them was the Founders Dark Penance, an Imperial Black IPA. The Dark Penance is a Fall […]
You would think that there would be a healthy dose of booze infused banter whenever two guys get together to do a bit of whisky taste testing, but the truth is that during these sessions, Limpd and I continually say “Don’t lead the witness!” whenever one of us blurts out […]
