“It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine” - Michael Stipe
I picked up a 12 oz bottle of Fin du Monde at Pavillions on Montana a couple weeks ago for $2.79. After drinking it one night for dessert, I was feeling pretty fine myself. At 9% […]
In honor of the third Pirates of the Caribbean movie opening today, I thought I would share a story told by Jim Hill, an entertainment writer who specializes in all things Disney.
Did you know the first movie, “Curse of the Black Pearl,” almost never got made? I remember thinking it was a pretty lame […]
I’ve always been a bit wary of stepping foot inside of BevMo! First of all, they seem like an evil franchise, like the Wal Mart of booze or something. On top of that, I’ve become wary of exclamation points after my negative experience with Eureka! Amber. But somehow the stars aligned […]
Just take your beer and get out of here, OK? (Just in case you still haven’t seen it: The Landlord) And now, by popular demand, Pearl Out Takes.
New microbrew restaurant opens up a mile away from my old place in Goleta. Good riddance Camino Real Cafe. (via Brookston Beer Bulletin)
That buttery taste in […]
In today’s Travel section of the New York Times, Evan Rail throws himself on top of a grenade and submits himself to a beer pilgrimage across Germany in the name of journalism. What a noble cause.
New York Times
An interesting look at Weiss, Rauch, and Kölsch.
This is top-notch journalism here, people, so take heed.
If […]
Oh right, I forgot, here in the States we call it a “sausage” in the mouth (actually, let’s just call it a sausage).
The King’s Head holds a special place in my heart. It’s only a block away from the Promenade, but once you enter the front door, you feel like you’ve been transported across […]
I saw something similar at the Whole Foods in Evanston, IL. It was this vat of circulating water, you could throw a few bottles of beer or wine in there while you do your shopping, then come back and have ice cold beverages. I always wondered how it worked. Genius. (Video […]

A few weeks ago, my neighbor Brad and I went downtown for some French Dips at Philippe’s. It’s right by Union Station, and it’s been around forever. They claim to have invented the French Dip, which seems a bit dubious, but it tastes so good that I’m not going to argue (the bleu cheese is […]
Seeing as how its right across the street from Library Alehouse, I guess its no surprise that Pagliari’s has a great selection of beer.
Right now they have 5 different six packs of New Belgium; Mothership Wit, 1554, Skinny Dip, Springboard, and of course, Fat Tire. Three types of Sierra Nevada, which is two more […]
Arguably the best brewer in LA, Mark Jilg has been making Craftsman since 1995 in a tiny warehouse in Pasadena. I was first introduced to his Craftsman Hefeweizen a couple years ago at Father’s Office. I don’t think they even sell this stuff in bottles. It’s easy to forget that they make […]
Here in the good ol’ US of A, we have a knack for taking marginally important cultural holidays from other countries and turning them into National Binge Drinking holidays. There’s a bit of Chicken v. Egg controversy as to who is responsible for this national paradigm shift. Is it the beer companies with […]
(UPDATE: For the full Session roundup, check out the Brookston Beer Bulletin)
It was tough finding a beer for this month’s Session. This is my first time participating in Beer Blog Friday, so I really wanted to knock it out of the park and find something obscure and interesting. But finding an English Mild […]
Alabama, the cap has been popped, now it’s your turn to free the hops.
Yeah, this news is a little old by now, but as of yesterday, the Governor of South Carolina signed the bill into law.
Amazing what can be achieved with a little online grassroots activism. Congratulations to the great folk of South Carolina. […]
Interesting developments in the world of science this week:
NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ—A team of three out-of-work stem cell biologists announced Monday that, after four weeks of rigorous observation and field testing, the evidence conclusively shows that chief researcher Dr. Henry Rogers’ dog Franklin likes beer.
“We’re extremely pleased with the results of the experiment,” Rogers said. “It […]
