First and foremost. How many spelling errors do you think will be in this post? Second. I got a puppy. Third. (Thirdly?) Stock photo. Have I found my favorite beer? No. Because that’s like picking a favorite kid, you can’t, you love them equally. However, you do go through times/seasons, if you will, where you have a favorite kid, I’m sure. Where he/she just really isn’t being an a$$hole and is generally awesome to hang out with, right? Other times  [ Read More ]

I think you all should come to NC. 1. I’m here. So… and 2. There are a ton of wineries! Now, this is not a wine blog. Believe me, sometimes I wish it were. But that’s okay, maybe one day. Scott? Anyway, the best thing about one of the best Yadkin Valley wineries is that it is a brewery and taproom, too. I know, I know, but you haven’t died and gone to Heaven like I thought I did. You’re  [ Read More ]

And hello. You probably don’t remember me seeing as how my motivation to write blog posts is somewhat like my motivation to clean this house after a party. So you know, not there. As I experiment with other beers instead of relying solely on Lagunitas to fuel my alcoholism, I find that, man, there are some darn good brews out there. Devil Dog is one. It’s a 22, 10% ABV and pretty darn hoppy. Action shot! This beer is by  [ Read More ]

Christmas! Ale. Great Lakes Christmas Ale to be exact. I reviewed another seasonal holiday ale here. And this is my other favorite. Let me tell you a story about this ale. One year for Christmas Eve (the major celebration day in our family), I decided to be a tiny little domestic goddess and do Christmas Eve all on my own. Picture me in a little Santa apron bustling around the kitchen humming Rudolph. Sure. Meatballs in the crockpot, cheese and  [ Read More ]

Can you feel it in the air? It’s almost my favorite time of year. Christmas. Chilly nights, hustle and bustle, twinkling lights, egg nog, and shit show family gatherings filled with alcohol. Oh, just my family? In the spirit of the season all your favorite breweries will soon be releasing their holiday ales. It’s as if December should actually be called eat until you throw up and drink like the local neighborhood lush month. And I’m here to review the  [ Read More ]

Hello. It’s been awhile since we last talked. But I’m having a rather feisty afternoon, so I thought, “Hey, why not put up a half ass beer review?” Let’s talk about the one time I went to Lagunitas. Yeah. Here. And they didn’t have Sumpin’ Wild. STOCK PHOTO. This is my favorite Lag beer! Have you tried it? It is actually pretty hard to find by me and apparently at the Taproom so when I do, I stock up. For  [ Read More ]

I’d like to start this post by admitting some of my flaws. Because, one of my POSITIVES, is that I can admit them. I get angry if I call or text someone and they don’t pick up. Srsly,where are you? On the other hand, I often do not pick up calls or answer texts. Worst. I get up really early, so if you’re in my house, I’ll probably be lonely and pound around a lot until you stumble into the  [ Read More ]

I’m pretty positive before this blog you didn’t really think of Walt Disney World as a place for the beer lover. Alas, now that I pay more attention, try new options and keep up with all these posts, I’m kind of thinking maybe it is! On the Boardwalk.. There is an actual running brewery called the Big River Grille (Brewery)  and I ventured in there one rainy, humid night in May for an evening of laughs, good nachos and some  [ Read More ]

Hey! Let’s talk about the Mitten. No, silly. I don’t mean gloves. I mean THE Mitten. The best state. Michigan. By the way I’m just reading now that Wisconsin is trying to call themselves the Mitten. Come on, guys. I digress. Ah, pure Michigan. Great lakes, great coney dogs, great people that say pop not soda, and great beer! Founders Brewery is located in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This brewery, like many craft breweries, has great beer, a great taproom, fun  [ Read More ]

Wow, I’m totally schwasted right now. Which means only one thing…. Lagunitas is back! Me and Lagunitas have been taking a break and it’s been difficult. It’s been months! Lag texts me when it’s drunk, I tell it that every beer I’ve had by them lately sucks, then I stalk it on Facebook, what a vicious cycle! I really do think it was seeing someone else. How could it?! So for a long time I thought I was over it,  [ Read More ]
