Big Beef and Beer

28 December

Settle down for the evening with a warm fire and enjoy A Winter's Ale.

Normally this time of year I'm drinking up the Christmas brews, and I have been. The bastard brother of Christmas brews are winter ales, however, and they deserve some of my attention...

Merry Christkwanzanukkahmas!

In case you've forgotten, it's called Christmas because it is a Christian celebration of the the birth of Jesus: the Christ in Christmas. I'm not writing this to challenge your religious views, or even to rant about the over commercialization of the holiday.

Ahhhh. It is fiesta time.

During the summer Reggie and Swank spent a weekend discussing the future of Big Beef and Beer. During this discussion we barbecued and drank Cave Creek Chili Beer. This is a beer that has a whole chili pepper floating around inside the bottle. It sure is one huge chunk of sediment. The beer is a Crazy Ed's Original and brewed by the Black Mountain Brewing Company, Inc. in St. Paul, MN. [Read More!]

Stay with us. We'll write something that will tick you off!

Regards,
Greg

This week, I chose to do a retro-review.

Tim and I may do these occasionally. We'll try to find compilations that should make good additions to your music collection.
One of my favorite bands in the early 80's was the Clash... [Read More!]

A Tale of Two Christmas Beers

This week I review 2 beers. Which do you want first, the good brews or the bad brews? (Sorry.) Just like at a party, I'll start with the good beer first. I do this so the bad beer (usually Milwaukee's Beast when I hang with Tim) will go down easier later... [Read More!]
