My IPA Day spread!

by ry on August 2, 2012

IPA Day is finally here and I’ve started my celebration finally (although I did actually start after midnight last night). I’ve chosen a select few IPAs which I think span the range of the style and each give a unique outlook on it. Now ideally I would have a lot more then I do, but I do have to work tomorrow… sigh. Anyway I hope you all have a wonderful IPA day and are out there enjoying one! I am curious what everyone else is having so let me know on FB or Twitter!

Cheers,
Ry

Beer Ban

July 26, 2012

So I thought that I would try and ban been for 5 days…..I failed horribly to say the least. I was curious how long I could go without drinking beer and I found that 2 days was the longest time frame possible. This was not a real “Ban” on beer but more of a personal [...]

Beer Bacon – Back in Black

July 23, 2012

You hear (Well I do) about many breweries that have tried to perfect the Bacon Beer. I will say I’ve had 4 now and none seem to capture that taste and end up more of a smokey stout or porter. I’m not hear to talk about those right now however, but to talk about Beer [...]

Running and Beer and P90X, OH MY!

July 14, 2012

For the last year I’ve mainly been running to get back in shape but recently I’ve branched out. First P90X: I cannot say enough positive things about this program, Tony Horton has a beer on me coming his way if I ever meet him! I had been going to the gym prior as well as [...]

Day five was what we refer to as a Shit Show of a good time. We pretty much hit up every bar we had not visited plus a few we’d already been to. There are a few brews left we wanna try but the total count thus far is 84 with most of the ones [...]

Ohio Brew Week: Day 4

June 27, 2012

Day 4 was a huge success to say the least! We spent the day at Jackie O’s Brew Pub trying their roughly 20 brews on tap with a few changing up mid-day. Later in the night we headed to BW3… which you’d’ not think would carry the craft beers for the week. Upon arriving we [...]
