TWD, S4E16, “A”, by Dusty

What I’m drinking: Anchor Brewing’s Liberty Ale.  I love this beer.  Great flavor, with a little hop bite at the end.  It could almost be seen as a gateway IPA: a lot of the characteristics of an IPA, but not quite as in-your-face as most craft IPAs tend to be.  Dark enough for winter drinking, […]

TWD S4, E15; Us

Robert Kirkman has been teasing/warning us that the last two episodes of this season were going to be full of action and cliffhangers; well, he wasn’t kidding. I am still having a hard time getting past the knowledge that Cobra dude is after Rick. Carol is not going to be the one to decide where […]

TWD S4E15, “Us” by Dusty

What I’m drinking: Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Barley Wine.  Alltech has been playing around with their bourbon barrel ale for a couple years now.  These small batches normally sell out pretty quickly, so you have to get your hands on them when you can.  This one has the sweetness of the standard bourbon barrel ale, with […]

The Grove; TWD S4, E14

We have only three episodes left and this one did not disappoint. The opening scene of Serial Killer Lizzie playing tag with a walker while that creepy music played was strangely beautiful. (Am I the only one who had flashbacks of Insidious when that music was playing?) I really loved this episode because I felt […]

TWD S4E14, “The Grove” by Dusty

What I’m drinking: Southern Tier Porter.  I thought the days of ice and snow were behind us for the year.  I was mistaken.  Luckily, I had a few of these in the house.  A dark, textured flavor, perfect for the winter. Seven things that annoyed me: 1. The forced parallels Carol draws between Mika and […]

Alone; TWD S4, E13

Alright, so we get more backstory on a character. I don’t know that anyone was really begging for Bob’s backstory;especially seeing as how all it really did was illustrate that he is the kind of alcoholic who downs cold medicine. How is it that he is the one who survived two different groups? Side note, […]

Why I Don’t Watch Bates Motel

With Bates Motel starting back up, Chassity and I thought it would be fun to each write a post about the show.  One in favor of the show, one against it. As anyone who reads my Walking Dead posts could probably guess, I am against it. Let’s get a couple things out of the way […]

In Defense of Bates Motel

Okay, so here’s the thing. I usually am not a fan of trends. But there is one trend that I am most definitely a huge fan of: horror, thriller, and mystery classics finding their way to the small screen as television shows. It’s been happening more and more lately, and I couldn’t be happier about […]

TWD S4E13, “Alone” by Dusty

What I’m drinking: Country Boy’s Cougar Bait.  A local brewery.  This is their blonde ale.  It has a light taste to it that lends itself well to warm days.  We’re finally getting some of those, so this seemed like the time to start drinking this again. Five things that annoyed me: 1.  After all this […]

Still; TWD, S4,E12

Alright, so here it is. We finally got our Daryl centric episode. It does feel as if they saved it for last in order to keep all of the Daryl fans on their feet. Just like the two episodes that proceeded it, this was a character driven episode and light on action. As Daryl and […]
