Another Town Going Down

Another Town Going Down

Most people have one light in their fridge. I’ve got 11 different lights in mine. Yes, it’s summertime, stouts and porters are few and far between but there’s a plethora of light beers on the shelves. It looks like the charge of the light beer-gade around here. More...

Half Quart in Session

Half Quart in Session

Could this session brew name be a reference to RA leaving The Ports before dark? Or a 60’s acid flashback? It did remind me of the Beatles 1965 song of the same name. * But the brew can pic certainly implies an afternoon outdoor outing, ending up in the evening back...

Broadhead by the Bay

Broadhead by the Bay

The cerveceras and banderleros at Broadhead have whipped up a light Mexican lager with lime for us and in a stroke of marketing genius and brew naming creativity seldom seen they have named it......Mexican Lager with Lime. I guess they had to save some money from...

Easy Does It

Easy Does It

Jackson Browne and Glenn Frey wrote the song Take it Easy. * It wasn’t until Jackson Browne heard it on the radio that he realized The Eagles had recorded it. The 1972 release was the first of many hit singles for The Eagles, but I like the Jackson Browne version...

Anxiety Cause and Cure

If you thought a cowbell light was part of Farmer’s Steve’s living room décor, you are correct. But this review isn’t about his taste in furnishings, which some would call 80’s yard sale ranch kitsch. It's about Cowbell Brewing’s Standard, their light lager....

My Last Last Light

My Last Last Light

Many times I’ve been on the lake at last light, and if I didn’t wet the net then often the catch of the day was the adult beverage I indulged in when back on “dry” land. As far as ugly pikes go, they wouldn’t be a “cast” member on my reality fishing show. Too big, too...

Do the Math

Do the Math

Marketing genius, that’s what JT would say. Farmer Steve would call it “a profit making deal”. RA would down one quick and ask for another.  If it’s not Crown Fonger couldn’t care less, and JF would add an extra dollop of Picon to this one. Of course, what I’m...

K-Town History in a Glass

K-Town History in a Glass

Way back in the day us Cranky Old Men frequented a few of the finer K-town establishments. The PG, like the rest of the downtown, went uptown, but before it did it had concrete floors with a beer and blood drain and was a no go except for the lowest of the low, which...

Enjoy the Ride

Enjoy the Ride

For me the phrase easy rider brings to mind two Hopper choppers crossing 1960’s America in search of freedom with Born to be Wild playing in the background. Spoiler alert! Unfortunately, Billy and Wyatt’s search ends in their untimely demise when they come upon a...

Premi-Yum!

Premi-Yum!

Is premium the new norm? I mean we’ve sampled more premiums than Bayer has pills. * Pilsners that are lagers, and lagers that aren’t pilsners, and ales for what ails you. Lights and darks, whites and reds. Canadian, American, Dutch, German, Austrian, Japanese and...
