ballsofsteelandfury - November 27, 2015November 25, 2015

Have I piqued your interest yet? READ ON! Welcome to Balls of Steel's AFL Beat! So, a few things have happened since Hawthorn captured their

Commentist Beer Barrel: Dogfish Did It

makeitsnowondem - November 21, 2015

Yesterday, I walked into a bar, sat down, and ordered a beer seasoned with chocolate, basil, and lobster. It's important to me that I record this event so that if either I or the American craft beer industry as a whole are ever charged with a serious crime, we will each

For the first week of the year here in Austin, it's cool enough that lady snow and I don't have to worry about turning on the air conditioning, which is one of my favorite things to happen every year. It'll be at least a couple more weeks before I have

Well, here it is. Our favorite greatest coach ever gets his shot as the new(ish) head man of the Buffalo Bills. The Bills visit Met Life Stadium at 4-4 (2-1) against a surprisingly competent Jets team, who is 5-3 (3-1). I'm not sure I'm comfortable with living in a world where

Sunrisesunrise!! Congratulations, good sir! It is fitting that, today of all days, you have chosen to donate your winnings to the Wounded Warrior Project. Yeah Right has donated in your name, which I'm sure will confuse, but gladden, some veterans today. Sunrisesunrise chose the Bengals to beat the Browns while JerBear

DFO Meetup – Karl Strauss, Costa Mesa

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers - November 6, 2015November 6, 2015

Earlier this year, my good friend was hired by Karl Strauss as one of their Brewers. Many years ago he home-brewed, where he produced some pretty amazing creations (the Mojito Pale Ale, an Espresso Stout on par with a Yeti and too many Belgians to count all come to mind)

NFL Fan Drunkenness News OR How Do We Stop Worrying and Get Sponsored By a Breathalyzer?

Apparently BACtrack (sidenote: AWESOME name for a company) has been collecting blood alcohol content data on NFL gamedays and analyzing which fans are drunkest. Since I presume very few of you own their breathalyzer smartphone integration tools, I think they overlooked our skewed drinking numbers and settled on...the fucking Bills?

DFO Prediction Contests Update – Week 9

Still together, hand in hand, strolling towards the inevitable sunset. Who will break away and walk towards the beach and who will fall down, swallowed by the surf?

I won't take up too much of your time today, folks. I know we've all got football to watch. I've loved spicy food for a long time. I don't believe that this is something that makes me special or unique, but it is true. I don't really even know a lot about

I was thinking about doing a visual type of puzzle for a while now and I'm finally giving it a shot. Even if you don't like the puzzle, you should like the pics and we can use this as an open thread. Here is the concept. I will show you several

Kommenter Beer Table: America’s Ale

makeitsnowondem - October 17, 2015October 17, 2015

I think the first time I had a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, I was in Wrigleyville. That was, anyway, the first time I had more than one Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. I wasn't new to good beer at the time; I was just back from a semester in Europe and keen

Kommenter Beer Barrel: A Flying F-ck At The Moon

OH WE GON DRANK

makeitsnowondem - October 10, 2015

It's funny, when you think about it: German brewing culture, in some form or other, has dominated the mainstream American beer landscape for, what, a century or so? German immigrants brought lager to America in the 1830s and 40s, and by 1857, lager beers were outselling the previously dominant English-derived
