It’s craft time using craft beer!! Super fun and manly right?! Well, yes, actually is pretty manly and (as much as it pains me to admit it) very fun. How did this come about? Welp, I’ll tell you… So my wife is a frequenter of this site called Pinterest.com – it’s like a virtual pinboard [...]
Yeah we are big timing it now. We did a podcast. It’s probably the best podcast you will ever listen to, ever. Ever. Except the opposite. But please don’t turn it off after 3 minutes… get to at least 5 minutes in to make us feel better. [...]
Hey, did you hear it was International Stout Day yesterday? Like my colleague, I too drank a Dark Lord. My bottle was also a gift from Morehouse. That guy is a regular Dark Lord Fairy, I tell you. But unlike Spank’s, my bottle was a 2010 which I had been sitting on. How does it [...]

A beautiful Kansas City afternoon is giving way to a cool, crisp night. I’m sitting in my backyard as day turns to dusk, sipping on a 2011 Boulevard Imperial Stout. You know what?
