I like glassware as a silly foppish affectation, but I don’t think it has a huge qualitative impact on the drinking experience. Sometimes I let a weird glass situation get into my head, but that’s my own fault. It shouldn’t matter much. Read more

I’ve never heard of such a thing! And I like it. That sounds like a great tip, thanks. Read more

Yeah, it finished 2nd in my tasting last year (behind Negra Modelo), I like Bohemia. Read more

That’s terrible, i.e., you should sell it to the highest-bidding brewery ASAP. Read more

damn, that’s a good idea. Read more

I didn’t realize it was before Kimmie. I prefer the Kimmie, but just by a hair. Blood Orange is very good too. Read more

Agreed on the latter point, at least. I think last year I did a list of 18 or so, and that was just beers I happened to stumble upon myself, so it wasn’t anywhere near comprehensive. Read more

Ah Westbrook, my gose white whale.

I’d never try to come between a man and his Sixth Meal. carry on! Read more

Thanks for reading, and thanks for the recommendations. Westbrook’s the only SC brewery I’m really familiar with; I’ll try to track down the others. Have you seen this map? It’s not always super up-to-date, but it’s a good overview of what beers ship where. http://www.seekabrew.com/distro/index.h… Read more

Yeah. 90 percent of fast food “innovation” is just rearranging a different combination of the same dozen or so core ingredients, but Taco Bell is the most egregious offender when it comes to claiming to have Disrupted The Foodosphere because now they put the cheese on the bottom of the taco instead of the top or… Read more

Interesting, I wonder why this as opposed to another beer of equal strength? Someday I’m going to have to really look into which alcohols (if any) lead to worse headaches. Read more

Nah, if you’re a parent who only has time to feed your brats from the drive-thru one night, the McDonald’s grilled chicken is a nice option. Read more

Aw man, that makes it a good beer name, too bad it didn’t work out. Read more

Oh man, that’s rough. Read more

Ha, that last line cracked me up! Read more

Oh I don’t doubt I’m missing out— I already knew I had to try Sun King and of course 3F, and in researching this post I came across a ton of other good-looking stuff. I need to get to Indiana soon. Read more

Someone just told me the Hop Notch story on Twitter. I’m a berserk coincidence, I wrote about Notch Brewing (the trademark disputant, according to the Twitter guy, and logic) just yesterday. I’ll make a note of it in the post, thanks. Read more

Hey Johnny! that sounds like a good starting point, I’ll start trying to work the gray market ASAP. Thanks. Read more
