Every time I get a beer with a cork, I almost feel like royalty. Read more
I'll stick around to see how the Packers do on Sunday, because I've become one of those weirdoes with two favorite teams. Read more
"my wife goes that way for work sometimes" Not as often as you'd like, I'm sure. Read more

If anyone is wondering Red Chair is named after the chairlift of the same name at a small Southern Oregon ski mountain called Mount Ashland. Read more
NO Mr. Gordon.. I fight for beer that requires a decent chewing motion...something with some grit, some flavor, some spices, chocolates, coffees... man beer. TOO COOL FOR IPA? Aren't people who drink IPA's too cool for everyone else? That was my understanding, and life experience... I keep the fight alive and it burns… Read more
For what it's worth, Red Chair won "World's Best Beer" from something called the World Beer Awards in 2012: Read more
Koch comes off like a real ass. His first shtick was the "take on the ubiquitous larger conglomerates that are found everywhere" and now he has gotten to the point where he is pissed Sam Adams isn't everywhere?

I mean, I still check the reviews, especially after I've had something new. I like that people take time for a detailed review. I could just do without all the "is Hopslam overrated?" type threads. Read more
Untappd is a mental repository of my (somehow) fuzzy memory in regards to beer. Did I like that American Brewing Co. Sour Porter? Why yes, I liked it a lot. Well maybe now that it's back on I'll have another. It's especially relevant as a lot of breweries are changing their graphics, I might know the graphic for… Read more
This column makes me miss my fancy-beer drinking co-worker/friend. We would wander around Seattle drinking beer and we'd always end up sharing a large bottle of something expensive and sour and amazing. Dumb jerk had to move to Japan with his wife instead of staying at his boring, stressful job with me. Read more
