It pays to have beer-loving friends

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

Many hugs and kisses to Troy and his wife for their lovely gift of beer! We opened up a mysterious package last night only to be greeted by a bunch of pigs.

A bunch of pigs with the words, “The only thing better than pigs are beer, and rabbit –The world of gastronomy according to Troy”

MNB, dog terrorizers

Monday, December 31st, 2007

Home again! After about a week and a half away from Atlanta, it’s good to be back. I was looking forward to a cold beer and a couch-full of football to unwind a little. So I went to the fridge – and lo and behold – new beer! My roommate The Goche took it upon […]

Boscos brewpub in Nashville: some good beers… and some bad beers

Sunday, December 30th, 2007

Nashville doesn’t have many options when it comes to finding a fresh beer brewed on-premises. Of course, neither does Atlanta. I’ve been to Boscos in Hillsboro Village before, but last night was the first time I ordered their beer sampler – 8 draft brews, including 4 seasonals. Last time I was at Boscos, I was […]

Sweetwater delivers a Christmas present (Joel gets coal)

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

Our esteemed Atlanta-based brethren, Sweetwater, has released a limited edition Festive Ale which I picked up at a local package store the other day.

Now, of the 6 Belgian Trappist monasteries in the world, we can cross Westvleteren off our list of beers to try. Of course, this doesn’t mean we won’t want to try it again.
Jeff’s friend brought him back a bottle of the Westvleteren 8 awhile back. And since there was such a hubbub a few weeks […]

British Beer: True Brew, Fun Novelty, or Warm Urine?

Thursday, September 27th, 2007

Several weeks ago, I spent a week in the U.K. (Scotland and England specifically). Over the course of the week, I tried at least a dozen different beers, sticking predominantly to British drafts. From Deuchers to Greene King to Old Peculiar to Triumph, I tasted what I have been reading for the past […]

THE MOTHERLOAD

Saturday, September 15th, 2007

But wait, there’s more:

On my way home to Nashville… a mere 1 hour ago… I stopped at a place called Stones River Liquors. I walked out having spent over $100 on beer. It… was… INCREDIBLE.
I can’t write more now, because 1) I’m still too giddy, and 2) I have to go to a […]
