I usually catch hell for this but I’m not a huge Belgian fan. Some purists say it’s a sin while I say I’d rather have a double IPA any day. BUT I am trying to broaden my horizons with this blog so no style is ever off limits. I’m naming my reviews Hump Day Happiness. [...]

People who find out I’m from Erie are amazed at 3 thing I don’t do which I guess others they’ve met do. 1) I don’t hunt 2) I hate fishing 3) I rarely drink wine. I bring up the third because of a piece that was on ErieBlogs this morning.

I’m not making this one up but that headline is catchy. Kevin Gamble (Johnny Johnny from TikiBar TV) saved a woman’s life when she fell onto the subway tracks in NYC.
You can relive Kevin’s heroics here.

We covered the basics on budget, sponsorship, promotions, volunteers, etc… So we wrap up and a group of us head to Mad Mex on McKnight to chat and have a few drinks. One conversation I [...]

It’s hump day
If you like it, you have plenty of time to stock up for the weekend
A lot of 6pk shops restock on Tuesday/Wednesday’s so if it’s in you’ll get first crack at it.
That said… Most of my friends know that I absolutely [...]

This was a gift from my brother over Christmas as we always do at least one beer exchange. I’ve seen this around but have never tried it so I’m sure he was relieved to hear that. Kill Ugly radio is an IPA from Lagunitas and was a tribute to the 40th anniversary of Frank Zappa [...]

I’m not a big fan of seafood. I have no problem admitting that. I won’t eat fish but I do like shrimp, scallops and lobster. I do eat sushi but it doesn’t always have fish. I don’t care how you make it, I won’t eat it (well unless it’s Lent and even that’s pushing it).
