An obscure reference to an 11-minute-long song from 1971? Nailed it with the SEO, big boy. What does it take to get me out of the house these days? A mediocre World Cup round of 16 contest is a good starter (poor South Korea didn’t stand a chance). Other than that, it’s beer. It is […]
This week’s Going for 2 started with a somber note as I gave a tribute to my former co-host Chewie who in his lifetime gave zero #hawttakes. For that alone, he should be treasured. Sharona was ill, so I ran a solo show with the assistance of rising fantasy football star “Jersey Jen”. We covered […]
We all get into beer ruts. I could guzzle down some Smuttynose Old Dog Brown Ale for months without trying a different beer. Well, maybe for a couple of weeks. There are a couple of issues in trying new beers. It can be expensive and we’re all afraid of being burned on a sixer. When […]
Seeing as I drink a lot of the stuff, it makes sense that I would write about my beer “adventure” or “journey” since there’s a nice intersection in the Venn diagram between fantasy football and beer. We’re talking real beer, not the kind that you see in commercials. A couple of weeks ago, I met […]
I’m not 100% sure that the Frank Thomas jersey in my man cave is actually older than Nathan Powell. I custom-ordered the jersey for a birthday during my college years which were 1992-1996. The jersey was my favorite and first and I “retired” it for a place on the Man Cave Wall of Good Sports […]
I realized this weekend that I have a limited palate when it comes to beer consumption. The good news is I’m not alone in that endeavor. When you’re unemployed, every expense has to be counted. That’s why when my parents asked me to pick up some wine at our local Total Wine on the way […]
I had a fabulous beer-fueled weekend. It started with a journey to a local beer joint that’s earned national attention. The Brick Store Pub is a Decatur institution that’s very Belgian-friendly. In an unusual twist, their taps dedicated to Belgians went to American Belgian styles in honor of American Craft Beer Week. This did not […]
The last beer festival I attended was in 1999. We tailgated for the Decatur Beer Festival. Tailgating was Chik-Fil-A (before we knew they were evil), not beer. The event started pretty early, 9 a.m. from my recollection. We were at a burrito joint trying to soak it all up four hours later. Was I more […]
Now that my run as beer column guy at FF Oasis is over, I’m going to continue my beer musings on the blog. My 16-week season with FF Oasis is only the second time I’ve written for a site for an entire football season, and the first was in 2005. To torment myself, I’ll link […]
