Information on the Great Taste of the Midwest

By brian | Published: August 8, 2011

Just a few more days until the 25th Anniversary Great Taste of the Midwest in Madison and, despite hitting a near unprecedented saturation on stupid fun this summer, I must say I’m real stoked for this thing. It is a bit strange to spend 2 weekends in a row in our rural penal colony to [...]

Lagunitas Zephyr, Stone Dinner & Logan Square Free Concerts

By brian | Published: June 15, 2011

I’m so bloody tired all the time lately it’s driving me up a slippery wall. I’ve had to learn the hard way that, despite my doctor’s recommendations, I apparently can’t replace a 6 hour R.E.M. cycle with pure amphetamine salts and vick’s vapor inhalors. That’s the last time I trust a surgeon I meet at [...]

BeerAdvocate Bar Crawl, December 26th

By brian | Published: December 20, 2010

First off… that Half Acre party on Saturday was the bee’s knees. Amazing beer – like Double Daisy Cutter, Barrel Aged Mad Cow, Flossmore’s Sleigh Ride (insane) to name just a few – great, great food from Urban Belly (the smoked beef stew was nutty) and a whole mess of good-natured beer loving maniacs. It [...]

Brewing Season is Upon Us

By brian | Published: September 8, 2010

When I returned from my trip I learned that we had lost our sweet brewing space. Fortunately, we’ve got another lined up, it’s just not quite as cherry (or close) [...]
