The Greatest Song Ever Invented of All Time:...
I’m a big fan of the bar Lansdowne Road here in the big apple. My buddy Ryan and I have been going there since it opened many moons ago.
One thing that is notably missing from the bar though is a jukebox. Well, for the drunken historians out there it might be interesting to know that Lansdowne Road did in fact have a jukebox when it opened. One of those real fancy ones in fact that you can...

Kiss and "God Gave Rock 'N' Roll to You II": The...
Let me start of by saying I neither dislike or like the band Kiss. I never understood why they put out so much crap with their faces on it but I guess the fact that people keep paying for it is reason enough. I’d probably buy a Star Wars casket to be buried in if there was one so who am I to judge. I did have periods in my childhood where I did consider myself a Kiss fan though. Mostly...
Renegade Brewing Company
As much as it pains me to see people living out my dreams I can’t help but be excited for my good friend and fellow Burnt Hills Spartan Brian O’Connell and his wife Khara . Brian and I have known each other since we were just young little lads and reconnected a few years back at a friends wedding. I noticed Brian was the only one asking for a glass with his bottle of Sierra Nevada Pale...

Best Idea in the World Ever
Feel free to take this idea and run with it because I never will and it’s so genius that it deserves action. My buddy and I, for the sake of this post let’s call him King America, have always talked about registering a bunch of URL’s of peoples names that we went to High School with. For instance registering johnsmith.com. Then taking that site and just putting up a picture of...
I'm sorry you came here
I’m sorry because I haven’t made an updated in months and I’ve let you all down. If you’d like to see my comedic stylings though you can head over to BloodyGoodHorror.com. I’m forced at gunpoint to do the news there every day and I also sit in on the weekly podcast. Every episode we discuss a movie and I make a beer pairing. It’s really something my friends!

Shipyard Brewing Company - Smashed Pumpkin
A little late to the Pumpkin Beer party this year but my wife and I were also a little late celebrating Halloween. We were out of town the weekend of all hallows eve so this past weekend we decided to carve our pumpkins, watch some horror movies and crack open this brew.
I had picked it this bottle of Smashed Pumpkin a few months back when we had visited the Shipyard Brewery up in Portland...
Dogfish Head, Victory Brewing & Stone Brewing -...
We’ve got a lot to talk about here before we even get to the taste my friends so you might want to grab a box of Fig Newtons and put on your comfy knock-a-bouts. It’s going to get thick.
First off this is what the kids on the tubes call a collaboration beer. Meaning a couple, or in this case three, breweries get together and make a beer. So this one was spawned from Stone, Dogfish and...

Stone Brewing Co. - Cali-Belgique IPA
I’m sitting here watching “30 Days of Night: Dark Days”, a direct to DVD sequel to a movie that no one liked, except me maybe. It’s not very good. Luckily though I am distracted by this mighty good beer. Let’s talk about that shell we! I can’t imagine you want to hear about the movie.
Like their other beers Stone Brewing goes to great length to explain their...

And we're back again
I’ve decided to switch over to Tumblr based on the recommendation of Mr. Pixelheap. I have no idea what the difference is but I pretty much went to college in Philly because he said it would be cool so really putting my stupid blog somewhere else because he says to isn’t that big of a deal.
You’re welcome
Southern Tier Brewing Company - Pumking Imperial...
A lot of people avoid moving to places like California and Florida because they’ll “miss the seasons”. I’ve always thought that it ridiculous. I’ve lived with seasons for 32 years of my life, they suck. A nice fall day when it’s about 68 degrees out is good. Same goes for Spring. But -10 degrees and waiting for the bus sucks big time and so does waiting in a hot...
Fantasy Football Beer Draft
The time honored tradition of the Fantasy Football draft and all its masculine glory. It’s really what I live for. Now just to be clear I know nothing about football. In previous years I’ve drafted players who had retired, been in jail or had already had season ending injured. I’ve been playing with the same league for about 5 years now and the only season I showed any signs of...

Beer Drinking in Maine
So last week we discussed the good people of Maine and their love of shots. But it would be a real shame not to talk about their beer and how much of it I guzzled on our trip. It’s a blog about beer too so it kind of makes sense right? Good, I’m glad we agree. Now as I mentioned we stayed in the fine town of Bar Harbor, which is up there in Maine. Way way up there. So far up there...
The State of Maine and Shots
This past week the wife and I spent 7 lovely days in the rustic state of Maine. We learned many things. There’s a crap load of nature out there, Maine pumps our some great beer and probably most importantly that its natives love shots more than anything else in the world. We spent most of the trip in the town of Bar Harbor and on most of those days we ended up in a bar for a couple drinks....

21st Amendment Brewery - Brew Free or Die IPA
What a frightening name. What if I don’t brew free? How do you ever brew free really? I’m so confused and frightened by this beer. Plus, it comes in a can. Do you like it in the can? What the hell am I talking about anymore? I’m loosing it. Anyway I’m a big fan of 21st Amendment and their cans. The San Fransisco shop is one of a handful of breweries out there today...

Flying Fish Brewing Company - Exit 16 - Wild Rice...
I refuse to hide my love for the state of New Jersey for you or anyone else for that matter. People dump all over the Garden State, no pun intended. But it’s really a wonderland of fun. It has more diners then any other state, it’s the second largest producer of blueberries in America and I freakin live there. I’m 99% sure I’ve put these facts in another post but whatever....
I Am No Smarter Than A Turtle
Every morning when I wake up and walk into the living room my turtle goes nuts. It’s got the brain the size of your thumbnail but it’s managed to learn one thing over the years. When the big blob walks into the room after it’s done being dark there’s going to be food raining from the sky. So every morning I walk out of the bedroom and the turtle becomes a violent arm...
A Post About Another Post: The Human Centipede:...
So it’s been almost a month since I had my big epiphany about posting non-beer related things and for a solid three days I really kept up with it. As expected I got lazy and left you sitting around wondering what happened to your friend Joe. So in a attempt to keep you entertained I thought I’d tell you the story of when I saw the movie The Human Centipede: First Sequence. Watch close, there’s...
