Been in a bit of a funk of late – thankfully not for lack of good people around me. There’s just this sort of self-starting internal glumness that settles in now and then, accompanied by a bit of writer’s block (if I may be so bold as to call mys… [...]

Hindsight is a great thing to have. We only wish Mark had the benefit of it before he chose to ignore the request of the owner of a South African bottle shop from whom he bought these beers. [...]
As a rule, I do generally do not include limited rarities on the best of Washington list. I feel that it’s a little cruel to describe a great beer and then say, “doesn’t that sound good? Well…you can’t get it.” Hopefully everyone who was… [...]

It’s true that at high concentrations, like the nearly 100-percent pure alcohol used in sterilizing solutions, alcohol can indeed kill cells and neurons (and nearly anything else). But given that the blood reaching your brain is only at 0.08 percent… [...]

What’s up my fellow beer lovers? Haven’t seen you in a while! Sorry for the lack of posts. I’ve been fully immersed in the craft beer culture to the point that I’ve been neglecting the blog!

It sounded good, the Mandolin 2009 pinot noir, with talk about its “bright cherry and raspberry fruit,” with “hints of spice, leather and cedar.” But the wine fell flat, which is the curse of the pinot noir grape. When it’s good, it’s really good. Otherwise, not so much. It wasn’t an outlandish bottle of wine – just [...] [...]
