Lots of Chocolate Malt & Roasted Barley in the grain bill. So finally after 5 months of a brewing hiatus I got to brew a beer last weekend. I decided on a version of my Standard Stout recipe that I had brewed previously and that I was really happ… [...]

Japanese Scotch Egg: Tsuru Sushi, Bishopsgate

I’ve always found the concept of the lunch tweet a little weird. There are people on my Twitter feed who I have never met nor will ever meet, yet I know every lunchtime what they’re tucking into. I sigh and my finger hovers over the unfollow button which perhaps makes me a tad hypocritical as [...] [...]

TAP Beer of the Day: Nimbus Pale Ale

TAP image Dinner tonight was at the Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale’s modern spin on a classic steakhouse, Talavera. I opted for fish, since we’re heading for a western barbecue joint tomorrow night, but my tablemates assured me the steak was fantastic. And here they are: The beer list at Talavera and the resort’s Onyx Bar Lounge is limited, but it does have some of the stars of the craft brewing show–Anchor Steam, Fat Tire, Dogfish 60 Minute IPA, … [...]

Meet and Beat

TAP image Though I’d been on Peter Kessler’s “Making the Turn” radio show once, the Golf Road Warrior Scottsdale trip was my first chance to meet him, get to know him and play golf with the Voice of Golf, so called thanks to his stentorian tone, his many years with The Golf Channel and his regular stint now on the PGA Tour Network (SiriusXM). Kessler had chided me about my back complaints in an email before we even … [...]

My Aching Back vs. The Monument Course

TAP image I took three golf trips in rapid succession in late October/early November, and I had to pull out of rounds during each trip. Whatever was going on in my back had worsened, to the point where some mornings I could barely walk. Turned out to be a herniated disk pressing on my spinal cord (spinal stenosis), big enough to warrant an operation. As it was the week before Thanksgiving, I proceeded to tell the doctor the story … [...]
