What a busy Saturday. I did a bunch of errands around the house and then headed to the gym from a few hours. I kicked my own ass. I’m seriously sore now. After the gym, I ran some more errands and ran to the bank and did my food shopping for the week. Since I [...]

Another brew for the night. MLB Extra Innings are have a free preview, so I got to catch some of the Dodgers-Pirates game. I was really in baseball withdrawal, so at this point, I’ll still watch anything. Katie didn’t seem to have the same appreciation for it, but at least she’s trying. It’s quite adorable. [...]

This is a review that I’ve been holding for two days. This is one the few beers that I haven’t tried at Baker’s on their “Craft Beer Menu.” Although I tend to like Smuttynose brews, I haven’t had one in ages. I also haven’t seen as many at the brew store as I used to. [...]

Another fun day at work. I think that I have work induced ADD. If I’m in a conference call or a meeting for more than an hour and a half, I seriously start to zone out. I don’t know when I got this issue, but I just can’t sit for that long. Needless to say, [...]

While most people were home today, enjoying their last day of Christmas vacation, I was stuck at work. It was one of those days that just dragged. I did make it to the gym to have my first workout of 2012, which needless to say, I’m going to feel tomorrow. So, now that I’m home [...]

I seriously think that I’m bad luck. Since I got my pager from the fire department, I have gotten 0 calls. Nothing. Nada. And, to make things worse, this is an incredibly busy department. I have the same luck in EMS. Whenever I would dispatch or be on the road, I’d get nothing. This could [...]

I hate snow. Like, seriously hate snow. I’m a big fan of the cold, but snow, not so much. Unless I’m snowed in with hot chocolate, a nice fire and a good movie. But, I don’t have any of that tonight. So, I’m stuck doing a beer review. Rough life, I know. I also brewed [...]

Another Monday down. But, this means that I have only two days left until I go on vacation. I seriously cannot wait. I probably won’t be doing a lot of beer reviewing, but I’m definitely going to try. Tonight’s selection is a bomber that has been sitting in the fridge…why it’s been sitting there is [...]

It’s been a bit of a crazy week. I’ve been spending a decent amount of time at the gym and just hanging out with friends and I haven’t found time to taste a lot of beers. I’ve been drinking some macros (yes, I know…this is what I get for hanging out with someone who loves [...]

This was the second beer of the night. Yet another brew that I got while I was in Massachusetts. I’ve always been into coffee stouts, but I don’t think that I’ve had a beer that was truly termed a “coffee porter.” I knew when I saw this in the brew store, I had to pick [...]
