I was standing on a bike trail in pitch black dark. The rear tire of my borrowed bike was (I assumed) shredded. Just moments before, a commemorative pint glass or two fell out the bag I was carrying over my shoulder, shattered on the asphalt and interacted with the tubeless […]
Here I am. Driving by myself once again. This time the journey is about 330 miles and roughly six hours. I’m several hours outside Denver and just finished a quick pit stop at Elevation Brewing Company for a burrito and a brew. I’m barreling down two lane highways seeing a […]
It’s a Sunday evening. I’ve spent most of the day doing food related chores. Grocery shopping. Making beef and broccoli in a crockpot. Prepping for my first-ever attempt to make my own beef jerky. All this is being done sober to boot. I know, I know. How can this be […]
Pizza. Beer. These two things combined are frequently cited in people’s “The only thing better than pizza and beer is (insert something cool)” statements. I don’t disagree and would go as far as to say putting these things in a single location with live music and you have yourself something […]
Imagine with me, it’s Friday. You’ve been at work for 10 hours and your boss was riding your ass for 9.75 of those hours. The only relief you had that day was the 15 minutes you got to spend crying in the bathroom stall. Quitting time finally arrives and you […]
The night is like poetry. Smooth, connected and alluring in its simplicity. I’m biking back to my apartment from downtown Denver. Specifically, the Star Bar, or, Bad Decision Central as I refer to it. I can only sum up tonight as a night my mom would be proud of. Moderation […]
We were driving with a purpose, but still not really getting anywhere. I was looking at my phone screen. Really concentrating on the blue dot that was us, and why the location I was looking for on that map wasn’t where it said it was in real life. Fucking technology, […]

The celebration is just another one of the countless week long celebrations of craft beer where special tappings, releases and general Yippie-kye-aye type shit runs rampant across the city/state/nation the aforementioned holiday applies to. Ninkasi […]
For those who have seen “The Shining,” you probably know the iconic final scene with Jack Nicholson frozen solid. A beautiful, cinematic psycho-cicle. Stephen King’s classic horror novel was brought to life beautifully in a hotel located in the pacific northwest. The actual hotel that inspired his novel, on the […]
If someone by chance actually follows along with this blog, I try to make a point of saying how much I love pouring at beer festivals. We’re coming up on nearly a year from one that was pretty extreme, and after finding the draft, I had to doctor it up […]
We were having a nice little meeting a few weeks back. Things were getting done and ideas were flowing, then Pete decided it was time to throw a wrench in the gears. Unsatisfied with his Stella Artois, he decided to throw back a shot. This alternative medication works by blocking […]
How can you tell when an IPA is great? It’s a lot like love and you just know, but I wasn’t satisfied with that answer and put Ninkasi In order to get the effective outcomes of your decisions, if you want to make informed decisions, then you will be able […]
About five or so years ago, Pete and I were out and about on a mid-week St. Paddy’s Day holiday. We were sitting in my house drinking god-knows-what and both came to the conclusion, “Hey, we need some car bombs right this fucking moment.” We weren’t in the mood to actually […]

Pliny the Younger (PtY) is an interesting phenomenon to me. There are two general trains of thought: some feel it’s a well marketed over hyped beer while others think it’s one of the best beers in the world. I’m starting to join the camp of the former, but that doesn’t […]
