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

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

Heyyyy, happy 4th of July, folks! Low Commander here to dust off the old Beer Barrel and hopefully wet your whistles for the incredible day of BBQing, blowing shit up and straight up shameless DRANKIN'. 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays, (mostly because I am not a

Ladies, Gentlemen and Beings of Inconceivable Horror, welcome to yet another guest edition of the Beer Barrel without Make It Snow. I am Low Commander of the Super Soldiers and much like Mattingly's sideburns, you just can't get rid of me. But fear not, for I have an extra special edition

So, Sunday night is Wrestlemania. I'm over at a buddy's drinking shitty beer (on purpose) and eating the kind of snacks designed to guarantee gas. If you have the Network, or feel like dealing with the Russians that hijacked the US election, it's usually the one good show of the

It's another hot one. We're slated for a high of 102 here in Austin, and as longtime readers of the Beer Barrel will know, when the weather gets hot, I switch to lighter, crisper beers. Sorry, that's wrong. That's the exact opposite of what happens. You'll have to excuse me. I've

Commentist Beer Barrel: The Spoils of Victory

It's been a pretty good football season for me. I got to watch my Broncos play the sort of defense that every football fan gets frustrated at his team for not playing. I got to watch them bring the world another Patriots Schadenfreude Day. And next weekend, there's a solid chance

As I sit here at my Canada-centric desk, high in my ivory tower looking over the sweaty masses I wonder to myself, "Stomach flu?", Allergic reaction?", "Suppurating chest wound?", maybe...."Penis cancer?". What should be my go-to get-outta-here excuse? Or should I just be honest and take the inevitable harassment I'll
