There is no doubt that the Bruery is one of my all time favorite breweries. Releasing such decadent treats as Black Tuesday, the twelve days of Christmas series, Chocolate Rain, and a host of other amazing brews, it’s no surprise that anything released by the Bruery, attracts my attention and palate. But what about this […]

The Very Unhappy Sitting Device
During my teenage years and into my early twenties I listened to a fairly popular rock band. They were known for several hits including Rooster, Would, Man in the Box, and Down in a hole. The band responsible, was Alice in Chains. The band had a signature sound, featuring guitar riffs that were gritty, crunchy, […]
A very pumpkin New Year
It has been a very bizarre year. It wasn’t enough that we had to deal with a massively disruptive pandemic, which affected all aspects of life, but the world was affected by additional oddities in 2020 that were almost too strange for words. We had murder hornets. We had massive wildfires that destroyed the Australian […]
Shake it up!
If you happen to be curious about how many possible meanings one word could have, as I was prior to writing this discussion, I encourage a quick google search using the terms “shake” and “definition”.

Up and down Beer Mountain
Those that know me know that I like to climb mountains. I would consider my interest in hiking to approach the level of enthusiast. In the past several years, I have hiked several thousand miles, including over half of the Appalachian Trail. However, hiking was not one of my main interests several years ago. In […]

This may be changing in our current time, but for many decades, milk was the white, opaque, fluid foundation for solid bones and […]
The Journey of a Thousand Sips
The meaning of the word expedition is: an excursion, journey, or voyage made for some specific purpose, as of war or exploration. When I began my exploration of the craft beer world, I did so with a specific purpose, to be open to, and try, any and all styles, brands, and interpretations of beer. As […]
Black Tuesday on a Friday
Am I correct in assuming that we have all heard of the term Black Friday? Every years millions of Americans “celebrate” this day of retail gluttony that follows the day of actual gluttony that is Thanksgiving by swarming malls, big box retail business, colossal stand-alone department stores, and various purveyors of caffeinated beverages, with the […]
1,000,000
What would you do with one million dollars? Would you invest it all, in the hopes that it would multiply your wealth in time? Would you give it to your family, who has nurtured and supported you in good times and bad? Would you donate to a charity, knowing that your generous donation would assist […]
