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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

TWD S4E12, “Still” by Dusty

What I’m drinking: Atwater’s Vanilla Java Porter.  I know I just did this one a couple weeks ago, but I couldn’t help it.  I found a six-pack of this at a local grocery store.  Combine that with the fact that we’re currently getting hit with yet another ice storm, and this beer sounded absolutely perfect […]

Claimed TWD S4, E11

The fact that the title of this episode comes from two grown men fighting over a bed, speaks to the level of humanity that is left. It’s been a year and a half since this virus took over and it must be getting harder and harder to find the Andrea and Dale lookout on life. […]

The Walking Dead, S4E11, “Claimed” by Dusty

What I’m drinking: Trader Joe’s 2013 Vintage Ale.  Trader Joe’s does one of these every year.  Dark, with lots of bold spices.  Great for winter drinking.  Since it snowed again today, I figured now was as good a time as any to drink my last bottle.  It comes in at 9% ABV, so it packs […]
