  • Hot Toddy – For Strength!
    Hot damn! That’s a thought that was on my mind most nights last week, as my wife and I suffered through two of the worst colds we’ve had in a long time. The colds were bad. But the only good thing to come out of the whole experience was the rebirth of our love for hot toddies. For the uninitiated, a hot toddy is a wonderful combination of whiskey, lemon juice,...

  • Big Beer Stumbling
    Attention beer lovers: Start guzzling more Bud, please. Heineken and Carlsburg would help, too. Also, the Silver Bullet and a certain beer from the Great White North, eh?

  • A Great, Cheap Cab
    Like steak? Great! So do I. Sometimes I like a good beer with a steak … Sam Adams and Guinness immediately come to mind. There’s countless others, too. I’m one of those kinda-rare guys (pardon the pun) who likes wine just as much as beer. And there’s some situations when I like wine more than beer. A great cabarnet sauvignon with the perfect medium-rare...
