Session #10: Winter Seasonal Beers
It’s the first Friday of December and that can only mean one thing. It’s time for The Session — a monthly event that brings beer fans together to share their thoughts on a specified theme. This month’s theme couldn’t have come at a better time for me. For the past year I have been trying [...]

Sinebrychoff Porter
I picked this one up on a recent trip to the store. It was a new product that they hadn’t carried before and there was only one bottle left. Having known nothing about the beer, I assumed that it’s limited quantity was due to it being a popular item. So I greedily picked the last [...]

Schlitz Malt Liquor – “Robin Hood”
This one is from the early 80′s, but it has that one key ingredient that many of today’s commercials are missing… large animals breaking through walls. Classic.

Black Sheep Ale
I’ve been drinking nothing but stouts and porters the past week or so, and while I’m in hog heaven over them all, I had to mix up the variety just a bit to bring me back down to reality. A quick trip to the store this past weekend to grab some lighter fare for the [...]

Hunter’s Dry Skate Pool Commercial
I’ve never heard of the beer, but this commercial cracks me the hell up.

I obviously like beer and I can’t get enough music in my system. So why on earth is this month’s Session giving me fits? I think primarily that it comes down to my preference for two things — where I tend to drink my beer and the type of music that I listen to. Let’s [...]

A Small Pumpkin Patch
Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays. Perhaps it’s the horror fan in me, or perhaps it’s the chocolate fiend. At any rate, after having followed an excited Fairy Princess around the neighborhood for an hour or so, I could think of no way better to finish up Halloween night than with a [...]

Saison De Pipaix
A couple of weeks prior to heading down to the beach for a brief, yet relaxing escape, I was down in Fredericksburg helping my father-in-law take down an old willow that had finally succumbed to this years’ lack of rain fall. We made relatively quick work of the tree and after a few trips to [...]

Mmmm… Beer and Crabs
I’m pretty sure that I would have done the same thing as this dude, although I’m not sure I would have waited as long as he did, but to each their own.
