Dress appropriately for work, because you end up turning off the AC.

As a beer just shy of 10% alcohol, this is a pretty big beer in a pretty big bottle. Ommegang has, rather impressively, produced a world-class beer that offers delicious complexity while in our own time-zone.

…let’s quit this bullshit already and get some due process.

So I’m sitting here after a day of selling other people’s beer, trying to write this article, sipping what was my attempt at a homemade barleywine (a very strong flavorful type of beer). The alcohol content fell well below what the style calls for; and yet it stands on its own as a beer, having [...]

Beer reviews: Legend Brown Ale and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Plus, ‘Is There A Draught in Here?’, notes on home brewing.

One tastes, through use of American malt, citrusy American hops, and less alcohol, a sense of Californian freedom rather than British colonialism.

To me, St. Patrick’s day is more than that. I don’t mean to say it’s strictly a day to pound Guinness, Jameson and Bailey’s in massive quantities. That is to say, if you’d like to get hammered in such a manner, I strongly encourage you (additionally, if you want to do shots of tequila and drink Dos Equis come Cinco de Mayo, I’m down) but for me it is a chance to consider my own inner Irish-ness.

As a blogger, I try to make the occasional funny.  If I’m lucky, I get one or two comments that let me know my comments were provocative enough that it caused someone’s thoughts to flow from their frontal lobes to their fingers and type something back to me.  Unfortunately, most people don’t comment.  I mean, [...]

A specific group has caused as much harm as 30 Iran Contra scandals: ballers.

…So, yea, turn down the lights, pour a glass of wine, negotiate the fees required for your particular “party” if necessary… and then turn on the music.

Instead of heckling, try this: take a sip from your glass, then smash it and stab yourself in the face with the shards. Lord knows it’ll make me happier.

Indeed… the mother of these octoplets also has six other children… that she had by herself as a single parent…through in vitro fertilization…and she filed for bankruptcy in 2008 before having them, so nobody knows how she’s going to pay for them.

Jon and Kate Plus 8… Wolverines. See the Gosselins raise 8 wolverines from pups to full grown wolverines.  A camera crew will document what happens when 8 wolverines stop being real and start being interesting.  Chances are it’ll have only slightly more growling and torture than the version that’s on TV right now, the bulk [...]

After a few sips of the can, the alcohol begins to hit your bloodstream, bringing that familiar feeling. Then, as you drink, you notice yourself drinking faster. With time, you become incredibly caffeinated, and drunker. As you put your can down, one realizes a fist is being made for no reason.
