A light beer that technically isn’t light. * A pilsner that they say is a Euro style lager. An Off the Hop Brewhouse brew, brewed at Newark Brewery. Is anything about this brew as it seems? Is this one of Rumsfeld’s unknown unknowns? A hops and malt mystery wrapped in...
Blondie, Billy Idol, Taylor Momsen, Madonna, Stevie Nicks, Sting, and Grace Potter. All strong blondes who rock. * Ok, I know, there is a lot of peroxide in the mix but it’s rock and roll, so anything goes. Now I’ll introduce you to another strong blonde that rocks,...
First ride of the season is always something special. Fingers crossed that the battery will crank over that 28 year old V-twin. After a couple of nerve shaking backfires taking it down the road, hoping it won’t stall at the first stop light. Easy on the corners, watch...
Driving back from la belle province I had to do some “parle en douceur” to convince the sûreté du Québec that all the beer I was bringing back was for personal consumption. Once I identified myself as one of the cranky old men who “boire de la bière” the officer gave...

Ok, where’s the pig? There seems to be some kind of name game being played here by the marketing mavens. Is it Blue Mountain Light Lager by Thornbury Brewing or is it Light Lager by Blue Mountain Brewing out of Thornbury? Coincidentally both breweries are located at...
My old buddy DT (his initials not his condition) got his BMW out (his motorcycle not his preppy mid life crisis) and sent a note saying it was spring and time for some IPAs. Of course we all know that any time is a good time for a good IPA and a good IPA is always...
According to Sawdust City’s, Electric Storm Sour IPA, and I quote “ Like a face melting guitar solo, this sour IPA smashes into your brain, brings you to your knees and forces you to pray for mercy to the almighty gods of RAWK”! However, according to the first...
