A Sleep Deprivation Experiment

A Sleep Deprivation Experiment

Maybe rust never sleeps but if the Department of Morality doesn’t get her afternoon nap you don’t want to be participating in that sleep deprivation experiment. When I saw the name “Rust Never Sleeps” I immediately thought of the Neil Young album.* Classic Canadian...

Crank-y Review

Crank-y Review

Time to put some Crank in the tank. Crank seems like a pretty versatile word. As a noun it could be the crank shaft in your car, an annoying eccentric person, a bad-tempered grouch, or an impure form of crystal meth! As a verb you can crank a crank and you can crank...

K-Town Common

K-Town Common

Just passing through for another downtown K-Town brew review. Look out, there’s Something is in the Water! Could it be a frighteningly real mechanical shark, a modern day Moby Dick? Or Jaqueline Bisset in her scuba gear? Or Hasselhoff and Anderson saving another...

When the Moon Hits Your Eye

When the Moon Hits Your Eye

When I think of Moonstruck I think of a big hair Cher lighting up the screen in a role that seemed custom made for her*, with Dean Martin singing “When the moon hits your eye…”** in the background. Now that’s amore.  Is it really acting if you play a spot-on version...

The Cure for Listlessness

You’ve got your to-do list, in our house known as directives from the Department of Morality. There are shopping lists, laundry lists, and the proverbial bucket list. Lots of Top ten lists, or top 5 lists for those in a hurry. There is an app called List. Real-estate...

Free Wheeling

Free Wheeling

Aligned with our vision of free beer, I have decided only to attend events with an open bar. It is a matter of principle (or is that principal). It may just be our principal principle. Of course, a couple of free drink tickets is a grey area (or is that a gray area)...

An Inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Foam?

An Inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Foam?

The Glorious Sons * lend their name to this Farm League Lager, and now you have what FL call The Rock N’ Roll Lager.  Perhaps I am being a bit pedantic here, but the Led Zeppelin song is “Rock and Roll”, Lou Reed is a live “Rock N Roll Animal” with his solo version...
