But now there's another reason to drink so much Harvest Moon Wheat Ale that you need to pee every 10 minutes.
We just stumbled across this blog post from Lengthwise's President and...

Taking the cue from my friend George, have given up alcohol for January.
The bad news: It's only the 6th and the will is weakening.
The good news: The first day in February just happens to be Super Bowl Sunday.
Anyone want to guess where this photo is from?

Who can forget those enlightened lawmakers and restaurant owners who protested French opposition to an invasion of Iraq by renaming french fries to freedom fries?
Such a level-headed reaction to a time of great consternation.
We thought all the freedom fries in America were relegated to an...

I paid $7 for a Guinness last night at the Tilted Kilt. That in itself should go down as one of the greatest crimes this city has ever witnessed.

Some would say bloggers and beer don't mix. Some would say bloggers and sunlight don't mix. Some might even say that bloggers don't mix. They'd be wrong 2 out of 3 times.

We find ourselves back at the same places over and over again. While we love Uricchio’s and a good dive bar now and again, we are always looking for something new.
Any suggestions on a fun place to have a cocktail or two?

Friday we stopped at Sports & Spirits since we haven't been there in ages. We were pleasantly surprised by the improvements! They have a "loungy" area with comfortable couches next to the two pool tables which accomodated our large group very nicely. They also have darts and a large...

We went out for a celebratory drink a couple weeks ago and decided to go downtown to Sandrini's. We had heard rumors of a pretty cool smoking room that is attached yet secluded from the main bar area. It had the feel of an old club back in the prohibition days, complete with a view of the bar....

Somehow we ended up downtown and thought why not stop in and have a beer at The Cigar Bar. You can bring your own cigar or browse the walk-in humidor. We were excited to find that they served Blue Moon in a bottle. There were several groups enjoying cigars and cocktails. It...
