  • Cheers!: Beep that Bleep! Pabst American Pale Ale!

    By ,

    Yup! Pabst makes an American pale ale. Or, let me rephrase that – someone brews an APA for Pabst. All the can label tells us is “Pabst Brewing Company, La Crosse.” So, I am guessing that City Brewery of La Crosse contract brews this beer for Pabst. I saw a sixer of these 16-ouncers towering […]

  • Cheers!: ‘For All You do, This Bud’s for You’

    By ,

    It was another one of those restless days where I was pacing the local beer emporium without being able to make a decision.

  • Cheers!: This is a BFD

    By ,

    All summer long I saw this one looking down at me from the to-go cooler at my local beer emporium, cheekily calling for me to check it out. Finally, while gathering ingredients for a quick (frozen) pea soup, I reached up and grabbed a towering 19.2-ounce silver can of BFD from Sierra Nevada Brewing. BFD, […]

  • Hand-crafted Halloween Fun with Hallowine

    By ,

    If there’s one tradition my significant other and I have managed to uphold over the years, it’s not an anniversary dinner or cheesy Valentine’s date or anything sentimental like that.

  • Cheers!: Raise the Dead N’ Dead!

    By ,

    If you love great beer, I suggest you hurry to your local beer emporium and buy as many bottles as you can afford of the fall seasonal Dead ‘N’ Dead from Rogue Ales. Yes, it is that good. And it comes in a bomber bottle with a glow in the dark label (a trademark of […]

  • Cheers!: Let Us Not Curse the Darkness!

    By ,

    Nothing rattles my fragile eggshell mind like a trip out of the county into the thick of humanity for a weekend in a place like Pewaukee.
