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 […]

Hearing Beth’s journal entry while her and Daryl run from walkers was a lovely way to begin the episode. It’s nice to know that someone is brave enough to take over Hershel’s roll as positive thinker and hope bringer, because ” if you don’t have hope, what’s the point of living?” This seemed to be […]
What I’m drinking: Atwater Vanilla Java Porter. Like last week, I went to Blue Stallion Brewery for my Walking Dead viewing this week. While Blue Stallion doesn’t brew this beer, they had it on tap this week and it sounded delicious, so I gave it a shot. It was amazing. I’ve tried quite a few […]
What I’m drinking: Blue Stallion’s Smoked Lager. This is a local brewery. Every Sunday, they have Walking Dead viewing parties, so I decided to head over there with my sister and check it out. We had a blast. This is my favorite beer of theirs. As the name suggests, it has a really nice smoky […]

What I’m drinking: Bell’s Winter White Ale. One of my favorites this time of year. They take familiar winter spices and put them into a white ale, giving it a different character than I’m normally used to in this type of beer. It’s a nice comforting winter beer, but a more subtle flavor than most […]
We find ourselves on the eve of the midseason finale of this season of The Walking Dead. Allow me this chance of saying thank you to all of you who have read the recaps me and Fremont have done for this season. I’ve had a blast writing them, and I hope you’ve enjoyed reading them. […]

TWD S4, E7: “Dead Weight” by Dusty
You can read Fremont’s write-up here. It looks as though some of my grumpy old man views are rubbing off on her. Progress! What I’m drinking: Country Boy Jalapeno Porter. Like last week’s selection, this is a local beer. It’s tremendous. A dark, smoky porter, with a little bite of jalapeno that hits you in […]

TWD S4, E6 “Live Bait” by Dusty
You can read Fremont’s write-up here. What I’m drinking: West Sixth IPA. This is from a local brewery. One of the best IPAs I’ve ever had. Has a strong grapefruit taste to it. If you like IPAs, you’ll love it. But good luck finding it outside the Lexington area. Five things that annoyed me: 1. […]

TWD S4 E5, “Internment” by Dusty
What I’m drinking: Newcastle Werewolf. The goal was to save this for Hemlock Grove, but, at this point, it seems unlikely I’ll go back to watching that show. At least not anytime soon. This is a decent beer. Not nearly as good as Newcastle Brown Ale, but pretty good. It has a bitter berry taste […]
You can read Fremont’s thoughts on this episode here. What I’m drinking: Apple cider and Fireball cinnamon whiskey. With Fremont drinking gin and juice (combined with the debacle that was last week’s episode), I thought I’d step up my drinking game this week. Before long, I’ll be slamming down bottles just a little too hard […]
