Danner approves.

How about if you could only pick three breweries? Read more

Well, if this is going to be a top 3 brewer’s list, then mine are: Read more

The bottled version, to me, is ok but the higher ABV drafts are very, very good. The label of the bottled version says its made in “La Crosse, WI” as opposed to Wauconda, where Small Town is located. There is a huge contract brewer in La Crosse called City Brewing Company that makes all manner of beer for several… Read more

had the 20% version at a beer fest a year or so ago. goddam delicious. You could have the best adult root beer float ever with this shit.

A few of the 10% variety will knock you on your ass rather quickly. I submit myself from this past Saturday night as evidence. Read more

I’m not a fan of rimmed glasses of any sort as it is messy while drinking, and a pain in the ass to get it done ahead of time. So, if you are missing that sweetness in a sidecar, add ~1/2 to 1 teaspoon of simple sugar and go about your business. I’m a fan of my sidecars without the sugar, but it does add that little… Read more

Tip I’ve learned in juicing lemons; cut lemons into wedges, squeeze as much juice as you can out of them, and then put the whole juiced lemons in the drink. After you've shaken the drink, strain it ( but not with a fine mesh strainer). Not only do you get more lemon juice from less lemons, you also get the lemon oil… Read more

I'm not afraid of no Gose

Thank you so much for highlighting this beer. It is wonderful. One of the guys I work with accidentally left it in the freezer too long. He said it was the best slushie he ever had. Read more

I love Taco Bell and there’s nothing you can do about it. Read more

Will, thanks for doing these daily posts to inform me of beers and breweries I don’t know about since the distribution system is weird and crazy. It sometimes is hard to understand why I can’t get a beer from 2 states over, but I can get something from California no problem. Read more

I honestly did not get the ad campaign in which Taco Bell was claiming to have revolutionized the chicken sandwich game. Its a fucking tortilla with fried chicken in it. They feel that it warrants an overblown statement of superiority every time they place something within the confines of a tortilla, as if a tortilla… Read more

The notch is a landmark/mt.pass in the Uintas mountains. You can see it for miles. Very beautiful area. Read more

Utah resident here. The joke is that we few drinkers in the state make up for the non-drinkers. I probably don’t, but I appreciate a good 9% ABV “beer” and there are, for some reason, several great ones brewed in the state. Here’s where I’d identify them by name, except, uh, I’ve always been too busying drinking to… Read more

Will, as the guy from Indy, I am formally inviting you to try some Indiana beer. Three Floyds and Sun King are excellent starters as is Upland. These are some of our larger brewers and I am sure their PR folks are reading you daily and now readying their gift baskets to you. You’re welcome. Read more

But Trillium will have a taproom at the facility they’re building in Canton. Jack’s Abby is also moving to a larger space. Lord Hobo is aiming high off the bat. There’s not much room left in the city. Read more

There is way too much out there and I am finding I am trying new stuff less and less. There are probably like 10 smoked porters out there that taste exactly the same so if I want one I go and support to local boys. For IPA’s I still attempt to try one new one a week but I stock with stand by’s like Torpedo and my… Read more
