Boots on the Ground: Porto Portugal! Final chapter, Portugal The Food

yeah right - November 29, 2023November 29, 2023

I've already shared with you the francesinha from my first day in Porto. Before. With proper gravy application. And the detritus afterwards. For the public record, the beer you see in the photos "Super Bock" is a goddamn keeper. That shit is delicious and always served cold and frosty. Hell a man could drink that

On the Kindness of Strangers (aka ArmedandHammered Is Really Generous With Beer)

BrettFavresColonoscopy - July 21, 2021July 17, 2021

You know what 2020 was good for? Almost nothing. But a) it made (some of) us grateful for time with friends and family and b) it taught many of us that even when we can't go anywhere and are suddenly gifted extra time, we still don't do anything with that.

Going Down the Poop Shute: Your Germany European Lesser Footy 2020 (in 2021) Preview

Wakezilla - May 12, 2021May 12, 2021

Hello everyone, and welcome to Germany's European Lesser Footy's 2020 (in 2021) Preview. Seeing how Germany is one of the few countries North Americans have to learn about, I'll keep this section fairly brief. With the exception of Berlin, I've been to the major cities and areas of Germany. It's a really

The English: Are They Human? Case Study 14: The London Beer Flood

The Maestro - November 26, 2020November 26, 2020

Despite controlling one-third of the world's landmass and one-quarter of its population at its peak in the late 19th century, one really has to wonder if the English are even civilized in the first place. As Indian historian and MP Dr. Shashi Tharoor stated in a 2015 speech at Oxford

Ladies and germs, I know I won't be the first to, but please allow me to wish you a very happy and hopefully safe 4th of July! I am your Low Commander of the Super Soldiers, and I want to apologize to the Commentists at large for my general lack

Commentist Beer Barrel: Boots on the Ground – Burgeon Third Anniversary Invitational

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers - January 30, 2020January 30, 2020

This is a bit of a departure from your usual DFO Hate Week musings, as I wanted to bring you a brief interlude of something good. There are few things better than local independent craft beer, at least, in my mind, and the day before the Conference Championship series, I

Commentist Beer Barrel: Spoilers for Beer and Television

makeitsnowondem - April 28, 2019April 27, 2019

The final season of Game of Thrones, the greatest achievement in televised violence and incest since Dexter, has proceeded, so far, at a surprisingly measured pace, considering the season's abbreviated six-episode length and the intimidating number of still-unresolved plot threads. We can safely expect that'll change tonight, with Jon, Dany,

A Tradition Like Any Other: Augusta National Can F*** Right Off

WCS - April 11, 2019April 11, 2019

Here's a secret: I despise the dipshits who run Augusta National Golf Club. Glad-handing, misogynist dickheads who use the ideas of "tradition" and "the old ways" to actively make their golf tournament as white as possible. IT'S A GOLF TOURNAMENT YOU FUCKING FUCKS. Fuck these people with Satan's chainsaw wang. Yeah,

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers - January 30, 2019January 30, 2019

It has been about 6 months since the last time I attended a Beer Festival of some kind. That's probably a good thing, since I really don't need to shouldn't put my body through that very often. Back in December, this Festival was brought to my attention, and based on the

Adult Advent – Part 2

Game Time Decision - December 13, 2018December 13, 2018

Part 1 of the calendar is here with beers 1 to 4. Pictured above is what Mrs GTD and the kids got me for an advent calendar. It’s from my favourite local brewery (Brock Street Brewery) and will probably have some beers from other local places. I don’t usually drink everyday, so

Commentist Beer Barrel: Brut Strength

makeitsnowondem - August 22, 2018August 22, 2018

I don't love champagne. That's a hell of a thing to say to you Commentists after being away so long, I know, but it's the only honest way for me to launch back into this. I've had some good champagnes, and they were fine, but I've had to conclude that
