It’s time again for The Session, the monthly gathering of beer bloggers around a common topic. I’ve been enjoying writing them, and this month’s is right up my alley. From beer bar band: Blogging is indulgent. Most of us do it for free…
What time, you ask? Why, beer festival time! Next weekend is Belgium Comes to Cooperstown. I’m personally incredibly excited, since I’ve wanted to attend for years now: each year I’d say “Next year!” and, without fail, the next year I’d forget or be busy. “Next year!” I’d say. This year I’m going as a…
I woke up shortly before 4:30 am today. I stumbled downstairs and cranked a dial, preheating our espresso machine. No one should be awake at 4:30 am without espresso. I made myself a double shot and downed it as I made two for my wife: one as a latte to go, the other for an…
“What do you drink, my lord?” “Beer, beer, beer.” That’s how it goes, right? Anyway: if you’ve forgotten that our fancypants tapbox is now fully functional then you may have also forgotten that we’re using our 10 taps and a dream to feature brewery-only specials as we’re able.

Are you reading this today? That’s a dumb question. Of course you’re reading this today. You can’t be reading it in the past or future, only now. The question is, more accurately, “When is now?” This has quickly turned into either a philosophy class or a Spaceballs reenactment and I can’t quite tell which. Anyway, what…
It’s the first week of the month, meaning it’s time for July’s Session, when beer bloggers get together and talk about a common theme. This month, Justin’s Brew Review is hosting the topic “IPA: What’s the Big Deal?” For quite some…
