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 […]
Welcome back to another installment of the wildly popular Trailer Talk (note: this is not wildly popular). Today we’ll be looking at Dead Snow: Red vs. Dead. This movie appears to pick up immediately after the first movie. The lone survivor (Martin) is in a hospital, having somehow escaped the clutches of Herzog, Zombie King […]
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 […]
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 […]
No, really! Enough with the zombies! I’m really sick of the all the books and movies about crusty, rotten, nonliving creatures of the apocalypse meandering around looking to eat “BRRAAAAIIINNNSSS”. I like the classics like everyone else (Night, Dawn, Day, Return of…)and I respect Romero for everything he has done with our industry. I even […]
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. […]
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 […]
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. […]
