Several of you have been following my beer-related tweets over on Twitter (phillybeerguy), but now I have a website to go along with it: http://phillybeerguy.com/ The main purpose of my getting a site live was to document my "Great Pennsylvania Beer Tour." Take a look, let us know what you...

My lineup for a cold, snowy Super Sunday with a friend/neighbor/beer guy... So what did you guys drink?

D.G. Yuengling & Son, holder of the title "America's Oldest Brewery™", and currently second to the Boston Beer Co. (Sam Adams) in the "America's Largest Brewery Actually Owned By Americans" category, is a local favorite in these parts. Their flagship product is so popular at local watering holes...

22oz. bottles in the area as we speak, 12oz coming next week. So much for this being a Spring seasonal. The Flying Mouflan isn't far behind.

Can't believe I'd never heard of this place before: Cigar City Brewing They seem to be getting a little press on the beer blogs, and they also have their own blog site. Most appropriately named are the Maduro Brown Ale and the "Humidor/Wood Aged Series."

Perhaps the best independent-establishment draft lineup ever? 5:00 can't come soon enough!

Hop heads, belgian-lovers, and sour aficionados may have something to compare notes on soon. Victory's "Wild Devil" ale (basically their Hop Devil fermented with Bret) has just received label approval for 750 ml bottles: Originally this was only available on draught at the Brewery and...

If you're in Tröegs' distribution area, the first of this year's crop should be in stores and distributors within a week. Cases and 6'ers are currently available at the brewery. In case you didn't know, this is a very good thing.

I had hoped to have packages away by last weekend, but a family pet went into kidney failure and had to be hospitalized, which not only prevented me from mailing anything, but also abruptly canceled my mother's 60th birthday party. Unfortunately the dog had to be put down yesterday, and we're...

I probably ought to be posting this in the Lobby or some other appropriate room, but since I haven't been doing much cigar smoking lately, the only forum I've been frequenting is this one. I guess if I want to share this news with anyone, it ought to be the people who actually see me post...

Lohan confirms she's dated woman 'a very long time' Linky

Hello, all...I'm ISO a couple bottles of Deschutes' The Dissident. I'm willing to pay cash or trade (looks like Mike S. has some on his "Gots" list at BA). Lots of good fall seasonal goodies available. Also, I bought a full case of Stone 08-08-08 Vertical Epic in hopes of splitting it with one...

Doesn't this sound interesting? Consider this an ISO for all you West Coast folks if distribution through the normal Stone channels doesn't reach PA: Linky One Linky Two

What to do on a rainy Saturday afternoon but sit back, relax, and drink some beer! I'm taking the opportunity of the missus being at a bridal shower to knock out some of the beers I've been meaning to review. A bottle of Reading Premium has been on deck for my "Old Man" Beer Review series for...

OK, so by now I'm sure many of you know that I'm a sucker for Old-School breweries and their beers. I realize that they can't hold a candle to even the least of today's craft breweries, but what can I say, I'm nostalgic like that. I'm also related to many people who grew up weaned on these "just...

This question was posted over on BeerAdvocate.com leading up to the 4th of July holiday weekend. Curious as to how many I actually had hanging around down in the "vice corner" of my basement next to my wine and cigars, I spent a better part of the rainy 4th making an Excel spreadsheet. My wife...

Looks like "This Bud's for the EU": Clicky In a reversal of its previous hostility to the idea, Anheuser-Busch is in active talks to sell itself to the Belgian brewer InBev in a friendly deal, people briefed on the matter said Thursday night. Exact terms of the potential deal could not be...
