What’re you doing this weekend? We’re quite busy, ourselves. Sure, you could come to the Bidwell farmer’s market on Saturday and pick up a growler, as always. We’ll have Frank, The Whale, The IPA and Rutherford B. Haze (with De Maas still appearing Thursdays and Fridays at the brewery; never fear!) pouring from 8 until…
This post explicitly talks about some late-game aspects of Risk Legacy that some people may wish to keep unspoiled. They are: “after all nine minor cities have been founded”, “a player signs the board twice”, “a player has been eliminated”, “three missiles are fired on the same turn”. Yet again fate conspired against us,…
It’s the Global Warming Open! Last week I announced that we had entered our man Rutherford B. Haze into the Brewing News‘ Global Warming Open, a bracket-style tournament pitting breweries’ summer beers against each other in a brutal Hunger Games style battle to the death.

In 2008 I was not yet a father or the owner of a brewery. This meant that I had plenty of time to listen to podcasts and homebrew, converging with episodes of Basic Brewing Radio. The 2008 keynote address at the National Homebrew Conference was given by Boston Brewing Company’s (Sam Adams)…

You remember Rutherford B. Haze, don’t you? Our summer beer, a “wheaty Belgian pale” (it’s a new style because we say it is), has…
This was supposed to be a Risk Legacy post, it’s true. Regrettably, Justin is cursed with the sort of luck one only finds in a man who has mortally offended a shaman of some sort, and so last Wednesday his afternoon was spent in an immediate care facility. So, not having played a…
How’s Rutherford treating you? Response to our summer seasonal, Rutherford B. Haze, has been very positive thus far! This was perhaps aided by it being an excellent warm weather beer: last week was downright toasty, unlike the dreary downpour I’m staring at right now. If you’ve skipped a few updates: ol’ Rutherford is a wheaty…
The Session is a monthly topic that beer bloggers all write about. This month beer is your friend chose the topic “compulsion.” As I talked about it with friend-of-the-blog Alex he encouraged me to follow my instincts and not be afraid to get personal. My apologies in advance. I have a confession to make:…
