I’ve been totally delinquent about covering Seattle, and for no particular reason. I wasn’t busy, I was just being lazy, and now I’ve got a weeks worth of beer to wrap up. I’m going to try to keep things snappy though, because I’ve got moving boxes calling my name, waiting to be filled.
Here’s a quick [...]

Saturday at GABF is truly a marathon, and when we woke up the next day, any thoughts of heading out to Boulder were shot. My liver was pleading with me to give it a break, and so I did.
The day, as mentioned in the title, had the biggest ups and downs of the whole festival. [...]

I should be writing my final GABF post, but instead I got really caught up in this idea of making a map of all of the beer places we’ve visited. So here it is: Map!
The page that the link above connects to should explain most of what little there is to know about the map, [...]

Well, GABF is over and all I know is that at the end of the night last night my face hurt from smiling so big for so long. I remember saying at one point last night that this was the best beer day in my life ever. But then I immediately realized that I think [...]

It’s finally here! GABF! My sister and I have been waiting for this for 6 months now and I’ve been so excited and antsy the last few days that I’ve started taking it out on her as if we’re still two children trapped in the backseat of a car on a long drive. Most notably, [...]

[Disclaimer - this was written two days ago and should have posted on Wednesday, but I didn't get it up on the site before hopping on my plane to Denver and have been internetless ever since... until I found this Starbucks]
I’m about to fly to Denver for the Great American Beer Festival, but before I [...]

I’ve been such a procrastinator this week, and now I still owe you a post about last Sunday (8 days ago!) from Portland. To be sure, I’ve had real things to get done in the interim. I’m starting a new job soon that will require moving and having a car. I’m not being intentionally secretive, [...]

Saturday morning came bright and early, awfully early considering my Friday afternoon through evening in Portland. We stopped by Milo’s City Cafe for a quick breakfast and I got cheddar and Italian sausage-stuffed french toast. How incredible of an idea is that? Stuffing meat and cheese in the french toast! I’m always torn between savory [...]

Greetings from Beervana (aka Portland)! I’m here for the weekend with my sister and Melissa (of new-found cider fame). In fact, I may or may not have a pretty convoluted itinerary ahead of me. The original plan was to drive from SF to LA, fly from LA to Portland, hitch a ride with Allie and [...]

As I mentioned in my post about NCHF, I have a massive cider and cyser project underway. For those who don’t know, cyser is apple-mead, basically a cross between cider and honeywine. The inspiration for this project is my friend Melissa who loves cider and used to hate beer. For a long time, this was [...]
