I was really planning on having this post done, oh, 3 or 4 hours ago, but, well, shit happened. Not really shit. I went out for an ACBW event, ran into friends, got some sushi, drank some beers, I think there was a shot of rum in there somewhere (surprisingly smooth, too. Disconcerting, because usually [...]
Well well well, hey guys. I reckon I should get back into posting blog updates, now that the BEERacketology freebies are over. Not a moment too soon, either. Next week, May 14-20, is American Craft Beer Week. A week I hold near and dear. Here’s a great little video about it, including a friend [...]
Toppling Goliath takes on Surly Brewing in the 2012 BEERacketology finals. Before you vote, give a listen to our latest Podcast. Sure, it’s over an hour and a half long, but it’s totally worth your time…. sure it is. Or if you don’t want to listen to it all, I’ve broken down the podcast into [...]
Here’s the region everybody’s been waiting for – the #Flenker2012 Region! Wooooooo yeah! This one’s full of intrigue and beers and a few breweries I’ve never tried. I’ll break them all down for you, to help you make the right, informed decision. And don’t forget in November, a vote for #Flenker2012 is a vote for [...]
Before I start, I want to give a hearty congratulations to our own storminspank & Mrs. Spank, as they welcomed their second child over the weekend. We’re all very happy for your family!! One year ago today, we started adding to the litter on the information superhighway (people still call it that, right?). It all [...]
(This is probably going to be a fairly short post, as I’m writing this between showings of tonight’s Archer, during the dreck that is Unsupervised [truth be told, I laughed a couple times at last week's episode, but putting an animated comedy between episodes of the best animated comedy currently running is a formula for [...]
Alright, the weather here has been unseasonably warm. That’s putting it lightly. I’ve brewed outside on three different occasions over the last month. Ridiculous. But this morning, I swear it snowed! Sure, it’ll be near 50 tomorrow. And above freezing right now. But the flurries in the morning where inspiring enough for me to open [...]
It’s a nice, sunny afternoon here in Kansas City, with temperatures getting into the 50s. Exactly the kind of nice days we expect for early April. Boy, wasn’t the NCAA tournament exciting? And how about those Royals, starting off the season with a winning road trip on the West Coast? Can’t wait for the home [...]
So Morehouse calls it his Bukowski of Justice, while Flenker and MetsFanVI have theirs sitting in cardboard boxes in closets and basements. I’m talking about the place you store your beer. Most people just have it in their regular fridge. Some obsessed people have a fridge solely dedicated to beer. And, of course, you have [...]
This will be a quick one tonight… I mostly just want to do a post on the laptop I got, a hand-me-down from my ma. Thanks ma! Also, I wanted to use the beer tasting notebook I got from Wilderness Brewing’s Kickstarter reward. It’s pretty neat, and a handy way to keep track and make [...]
(Alt. title: I have the seen the future, and it is Gueuze. As said by @bythepint. Yeah, that’s actually much better. Dang) Dire times have hit, and I’m not sure if I can carry on. I’m not sure if there’s any new gueuzes around in KC for me to try for next couple weeks, unless [...]
If you know me, or follow me on Twitter, you’ll know that I have an aversion towards all things St. Louis. It’s not only some Kansas City vs. St. Louis thing, as this was going on well before I moved here. I’ve been a Royals fan all my life, and remember watching the ’85 World [...]
