So yesterday, I was thinking about how much I love Eggs Benedict, and wondering why I have never tried to enjoy it in the comfort of my own home. Then it hit me: I have no idea how to poach an egg. I consulted Google and the first thing that caught my […]
When I first met Jessica, I had no idea that I had just met every beer geek’s dream girl. Smart, beautiful, and a virtual walking beer encyclopedia.
It was July 17th, 2007, and I was on the tail end of my Great Northwest Beer Adventure. After a month of busing, thumbing, and train-ing all […]
Let me be the first second to admit it: I’ve fallen off the beer blogging bandwagon. I’ve been missing Session deadlines left and right. Heck, the last time I participated was way back in August. Why the lack of posts?
I guess I had just gotten a bit bored with my pedestrian […]
This month’s Session is hosted by Toronto resident Greg Clow of Beer, Beats & Bites. In honour of our neighbours up nourth, I chose to write aboot a couple of fruit beers I tasted last month when I visited Vancoover.
On my last night in town, my lovely friend Mauree took me to Stella’s on […]
Well, the initial plan was to keep posting to the ol’ blog in each new town I visited. But alas, I ended up spending more time drinking beer than I spent writing about drinking beer. So I’ve got a lot of catching up to do.
Hell, I still haven’t written up my awesome journey to […]
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 […]
Last night I went to an awesome beer tasting at Library Bar, hosted by Beer Chick Christina Perozzi. I will eventually write up a report on the night’s events, right after I finish my post on the Saint Arnold’s brewery tour.
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 […]
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 […]
(This month’s theme: Local breweries. For the full Session roundup, go to Gastronomic Fight Club)
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I picked up a bottle of Moretti’s Doppelbock while I was getting a Godmother at Bay Cities. I used to drink their pale lager every once in a while with a college friend who had studied abroad in Italy.
She used to drink it at the bars there, surrounded by old, mustachioed Italians who looked […]
Down in Coachella for the weekend. Stuck with seven dollar Heinekens. Bleh.
Well, I came for the music, not the beer. Thank god for a cooler full of Tecate. Getting pumped for some great bands today; Kings of Leon, New Pornographers, Ozomatli, !!!, The Good the Bad & the Queen, Chili […]
