Oh it was your fault? Then you will need to drink a premix cocktail and think about what you've done.

I’ve found all my best in-house cocktails (keeping in mind I really like to taste the lead character) are 3-1 ratio or 3-1-1 if there are 3 ingredients (plus eyeballing a good squeeze of citrus when appropriate). Purists are dumbasses - make your consumables in a way your tongue enjoys. If that makes it a… Read more

I’m still bemused by their humble brag/snooty attack on craft during the super bowl and subsequent ads since. To me that really indicated something fairly big. They are basically pointing at craft and saying “stop it, you’re annoying.” I feel just that simple acknowledgement, good or not, means something. Read more

I remember back in the early 2000’s having issue with one of AB’s ads claiming they were the best beer, so I sent off an email to the company and got a reply from a PR person there (intern probably) saying they must be the best (regardless of things like oh...I don’t know...taste) because they were the most… Read more

Deep Ellum is good, but I feel Four Corners El Chingon IPA is better. We’re slowly building a great craft beer scene here. Read more

Houstonian here. The drinking water is fine. Think they’re sending those cans up to OK and Central TX, which got hit harder. Or I’m drinking poison, one of the two. Read more

Except that the Beer Garden will be awarded to Montserrat and will be built using migrant workers from Pakistan. Read more

Guess we won’t be having the 2015 Drunkspin-apalooza Meetup in Cambridge. Read more

I happened upon a bottle of Victory’s Kuhl Kolsch this weekend. Pretty good.

So places advertise and serve their beer “coldest in town” to mask how shitty the beer is. Does that mean that places that serve their coffee hot as hell are trying to mask how crappy their coffee is? (This is an actual question, I’m not trying to be snarky.) Read more

It’s as if this beer was engineered for one purpose and one purpose only: drinking outdoors in Texas during the summer. Any other time and the stuff is damn-near undrinkable. But there’s something about the combination of the pool water, the sweat on your lips, the salty ice water in the cooler, and the heat-induced… Read more

This one is best enjoyed in cans.

Nothing like slamming a 12 pack after it’s been swimming in a salt and ice water bath on a hot-as-fuck Texas summer day at the pool. Read more

That flatbread delivers a safer piledriver than 99 per cent of professional wrestlers.

I’ve never done drugs, but if I did that gif is what I would like to see for a solid hour. Read more

Completely off topic: Man, it sure is difficult to get out of the grays around here...

I assume it’s the Cambridge-area TJ’s that you patronize? I’ve been out to the one in Peabody only once with beer-purchasey intentions, and very regrettably only purchased their own-brand gold rum, which is essentially just rum-flavored surface cleaner, rather than beer.

I’ll definitely add this bomber to my shortlist… Read more

As a beer state, I do recommend New Mexico. I worked for Marble there for two years, but La Cumbre won the gold at GABF a few years back, and more great breweries are opening all the time. Plus, the state is great if you like anything outdoors related. Like drinking beer. Read more

One of my favorite beers; so many great ones coming out of Surly here in MN these days. What all did they send outside of CynicAle? They’ve got a great West Coast style IPA called Todd the Axe Man that’s only been available in the beer hall and surrounding bars and restaurants, but for cans and bottles you can’t go… Read more

Honestly, Surly’s success has been an amazing “small business success” story. Basically, the owner’s dad had an old warehouse space in an industrial district, and he asked if he could have part of it to start brewing. They spent the first year just making two beers in kegs (Furious and Bender), then started up limited… Read more
