Remember the Revolutionary War? Apparently Joel doesn’t. He’s across the pond fraternizing with King George and his ale-loving minions as we speak. And until either Joel comes back to the colonies or I get better, Jeff won’t be able to brew by his lonesome. Consider this week your week off. We’ll hopefully be able to [...]

I got a couple ‘get better soon’ gifts from the folks at work this week. Among them, a 1000 piece puzzle of beers around the world. There are only a few beers in the puzzle that I’ve 1) had, and more importantly 2) enjoyed. Among them Hoegaarden, Liberty Ale and Duvel. But it’s the thought [...]
