Hopping a coachclass out of Los Angeles at high noon one day in late June of 2007 I found myself watching season one of Lost on DVD next to a 250 lb Brazilian on his way to Seattle. I lay down with my sweatshirt balled up under my head and legs crossed as I […]
Today I am leaving to take a fantastically long Amtrak ride up the coast to Portland, to enjoy the city and its beers. For the last few months, I have been jonesing to do some real traveling. And now its time to quit talking about it and actually get out of LA for […]
Anderson Valley keeps turning up in all the best beer stores in LA. Whole Foods in Santa Monica has six packs of Hop Ottin’, Barney Flats, and Boont Amber on the shelves. You can get their Boont Amber on tap at Sonny McLean’s, the Otheroom, and the Daily Pint. I don’t […]

It’s exciting to think that Santa Barbara, which is mainly known for its wine, […]

The highlight of the evening was meeting Evan and Alex of Hot Knives, […]

After reading Ted-o’s fantastic Session post about Cask Elissa at the Gingerman, and seeing how I don’t have anything better to do tomorrow than make a field trip to Houston, I’ve decided to head up to the Saint Arnold’s for their weekly brewery tour. And what better time to visit, since tomorrow is their […]
After a successful foray into homebrewing, prolific London beer blogger Stonch has recently expanded the Clerkenwell Brewery. The latest addition is the Brewcam, where you can monitor the progress of his fermenting stout. This type of technical genius really goes above and beyond. Keep up the good work, Stonch.

This week I am visiting family in Galveston, Texas, an island about half an hour outside of Houston. There’s not much else to do here besides drink beer and hang out on the beach, so I should be reporting back with tales of local microbrews and any fine drinking establishments I happen across.
So far […]

After much hype, and a lot of patience on my part, I was pleasantly surprised to see Craftsman Triple White Sage on tap at Father’s Office last night. I have been a fan of Craftsman ever since I turned […]
