The Rim Of Hell

Anyone who knows me, knows I appreciate beer technology. Or in this case, the adaptation of existing technology for the greater good of beer. Behold. . . I especially like the attention to detail here.  The straps still wrapped around the unopened ‘paper boxes’.  Brilliantly done, boys! (thanks Betsy for sharing). Oh, and check out [...]

Beer.com – Thanks to my buddy Steve I can draw everyone’s attention to two new ‘Back to School’ supplies no self-respecting college student should be without. First, the Viking Beer Bong [pictured] which would’ve gone very well with the Viking helmet I frequently wore back in my fraternity daze. . . er, days. The other [...]

Ad Age – Not sure if you had more than enough to drink? Now you can test yourself (sorta. . .kinda) with a new Iphone app being marketed by Dutch brewers Grolsch. Isn’t their company name kind of it’s own sobriety test? But I digress. . . Follow the link above to learn about the [...]

This was how I spent my Saturday night, hanging out on Park Street for the annual festival. What a blast! About a two block section of the city is closed off for this affair, with a decent sized stage set up at the corner of Park & Spruce streets.  I’d estimate 10 to 20,000 folks [...]

That’s how it’s pronounced, I think.   My-Ho?  Perhaps that’s an Americanization, as we’re pretty much bastardized the celebration of the Mexican people defeating the French at the Battle of Puebla anyways.  It now stands as an excuse to get drunk on Tequila and curse another culture in the morning. But who am I to take [...]

Time.com – Because apparently there’s no other health related news today (cough, cough swine flu cough), Time.com has an unusual article about Beer Goggling i.e. the act of perceiving someone as more attractive upon reaching your own level of inebriation. There was a time when I could have written a doctoral thesis on this particular [...]

So I did. Ok, ok – you prolly were expecting a little something more, eh?  Well, it’s the death of another weekend, so how better to celebrate that and the fact that I’m still alive in my NCAA basketball pool than. . . yup, a video.  Here’s Psychostick’s video “beer”.  Thanks to Sin’s Metal News [...]

Friday night the wife, one of the twins (Hayley) and myself decided to try out a restaurant/bar we hadn’t been to in a long time – Buffalo Wings & Rings.  Not to be confused with BW3′s (sorry, that’s Buffalo Wild Wings these days), BW&R have a similar menu and sports bar vibe but in my [...]

Knowing that they are releasing a remake of the 1987 classic horror film ‘Hellraiser’, I’ve been watching the entire series before it is possibly ruined further by this new entry.  Tonight’s feature was ‘Hellraiser IV: Bloodline’, the last of the series to be actually released theatrically.  I liked it – much better than the 4.4 [...]

I think this pic from http://extremefunnyhumor.com pretty much says it all. Actually, I’m not in bad shape myself – stuck to the light beer & a couple Miami Vice’s.  But my niece & her husband who are in Belgium currently are probably in bad shape right now, if how they looked on Skype last night [...]
