It’s been a while since I had a good Smutty, and I’m a long time fan of the brewery out of New Hampshire. So lets dig into their IPA offering. First off, it’s a light amber color, with a nice half inch head. It’s also unfiltered, leaving a good bit sediment in your glass, which [...]
I’ve been asked 100 times in the last two weeks, “are you ready for Maggie?”. The answer is usually “probably not”. It’s the truth if nothing else. I’m not sure how you prepare for a child, and hell, we already have one. And God knows we weren’t prepared for her. I’m sure there will be [...]
I stumbled upon this at the Greenville Beer Exchange, the rare IPA I haven’t had yet. Out of Milwaukee, Lakefront Brewery is one of the older microbreweries in the country.

All really comforting feelings. Eventually I went to the doc, scheduled a physical, which all of us men should do [...]
A friend of mine has a theory that there exists a trailer park on the west side of Jacksonville, Fl that produced Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet and unfortunately Limp Bizkit. Considering all that talent (and lack thereof Fred Durst), JJ Grey and Mofro might outdo them all. Hope you’ll enjoy the 8 min. mini doc.
