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 ]

WTF? Wilco Tango Foxtrot isn’t the proper way to spell WTF in the military alphabet. Well, according to Lagunitas the word “whiskey” isn’t allowed on a beer label; therefore, the name of this beer had to use something other than whiskey. Lag started brewing this one in 2010 and calls it “a malty, robusty jobless recovery ale”. It was named this because in 2010 the economy was supposed to be recovering, but it wasn’t really recovering. Jobs weren’t being created  [ Read More ]

You might have heard there was a little football game on Sunday, and although I wasn’t really interested in the outcome I went to a friend’s house to watch on his projector and about 100″ screen. We ate Raising Cane’s chicken fingers, drank, and were merry. It was a BYOB event, so I brought along a six pack of Lagunitas New Dogtown Pale Ale. I don’t think I’ve ever been disappointed by a Lagunitas, and New Dogtown is no exception.  [ Read More ]

Can I have a Christmas do-over? I’ve gotten sick twice since the Wednesday before Christmas (the flu before Christmas and strep throat before the New Year) and have felt like crap for nearly my entire vacation so far. I am feeling better today though. Because of all the medication I’ve been on, I haven’t had a drink in at least two weeks or so. Also, since I was sick I didn’t go out New Year’s Eve. It was painful sitting  [ Read More ]

A not-so-secret thing about me: I don’t like coffee. It smells just fine to me but once I taste it, yuck. Needless to say, I don’t frequent Starbucks. However, I don’t usually have a problem with beers that taste like coffee as long as the coffee flavor isn’t overwhelming. Thus, I’m trying Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout. You also may remember that Katie hated this last year. I forgot all about it, texted her, and she went berserk all over again. Lagunitas made this  [ 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 ]

As I was composing a few other beer reviews (yay for multi-tasking!), I realized that I had never finished my review from awhile back of Lagunitas Little Sumpin’ Sumpin’ Ale!  So let’s get this out of the way, shall we? After looking at the huge beer menu at the restaurant we were at in NYC, the Sumpin’ jumped out at me.  First, I knew Katie was a huge Lagunitas fan so I kinda wanted to see what all the fuss  [ Read More ]

I was starting to think I just wasn’t a big fan of lagers. How can this be? I like Abita Amber and Saint Arnold Lawnmower, among others. Looking back at the recent lagers I’ve had compared to the recent ales, I started to figure it out. The lagers include Bud Light (ick), Michelob Light, Coors Light, Sapporo, and Sol. Meanwhile, the ales include Saint Arnold Endeavour and Unibroue Éphémère Blackcurrant. I was suffering from a classic case of recency bias, and  [ Read More ]
