You Bast****!

Double Bastard Beer Review   The air turned uncharacteristically cool this afternoon for May.  Perfect timing as I stumbled upon a treasure that was fit for this temperature change.  As a long time fan of Stone Brewing Company, I found Double Bastard Ale this evening!  Sure, you...

Short Drive for Texas M...

Some believe mead is the oldest fermented beverage.  Texas is not close to being old by historical standards, but you may be surprised to find out that you are under two hours away from enjoying history.  Mead is a honeywine made from honey, water, and any other special ingredient to...

Horchata fit for Housto...

Between bites of tear-inducing salsa, roasted poblanos and fiery tacos we require a beverage intermission. A chilly palette cleanser to revive our resigned taste-buds presents itself in the form of Horchata, a Latin American beverage consisting of ground almonds, rice, cinnamon and lime....

Where’s My Team R...

Can’t see it, can you! We’ve all had those moments, wondering if the growing pile of shiny and obnoxious Bud Light cans outside the deer blind scared all the deer off. Well not anymore!! Now when you’re up at 4:00 AM, rubbing deer urine on yourself, you can feel...

My New Holiday Traditio...

I have never even heard of mulled wine before Thursday.  I actually thought my bud, Dan, was saying “mold wine” when he bestowed this bottle unto me (…damn British accents).  So what is it?  Mulled wine, or Glühwein, is a German tradition made from red wine that is...

12 ounces 13 dollars 18.2% tokyo beer. it seems proper that I try this given the recent trip in Japan. i saw this bottle and although expensive, it called to me. Not only because it is called tokyo, but because of the description on the bottle. check it up: “This is a beer inspired...

Shiner 101

[Update:  I don't really like shiner anymore] I admit – I am a beer fan.  Bold beers, crisp beers, dark and light beers.  And being from Texas and liking beer, I am a Shiner fan.  I love the original Shiner, especially when I order a pitcher from the draught.  But if you buy the...
