The Other Real MVP

The Other Real MVP

I popped and poured this puppy, an MVP premium, to watch the big game. Without Dallas or Buffalo playing, I didn’t have a horse in the race, but I was hoping the MVP would be Cafferty or Purdy. But we all know the real MVP of the game was Taylor Swift. I must admit, I...

Hooked

Hooked

After an unpleasant experience with a liver shiver giver of an imperial stout, it’s time to get hooked up with a heavenly Helles on earth light and bright brewski. And you know what they say, when in Rome do as the Romans do. No, I’m not drinking this in a toga,...

Tippin’ the Bird

Tippin’ the Bird

The bird is the word today, as in I’m tippin’ the bird with a real Czech lager from the Heinnie crowd. They say a golden pheasant in a field is good luck, the sign of a bountiful harvest. Of course, a flock of geese in a field is the sign of a golf course, so watch...

Ace in Hand

Ace in Hand

We haven’t visited Ace Hill* in a while but I recall their pilsner knocked it out of the park. A Vienna Lager is about as close as you can get to Amber without incurring an harassment charge,** and those of you who know me, know I love me an amber. So I had high hopes...
