Farmers worldwide are taking advantage of government subsidies on corn (to produce ethanol) by growing more of it and less of other important staple crops, like barley. This is leading to an increase in the cost of beer, and that simply is not acceptable. If I’m going to die in a great flood brought on [...]
…because it’s just another form of unpaid labor forced upon women by society. Because you know, no sane person would ever choose to homeschool, therefore all homeschooling moms are really victims of our male dominated society. Or something like that.
Red Sox: 36-15, the best record in baseball. Yankees: 21-29, 14.5 games behind the Red Sox The Florida Marlins have 24 wins, and their entire team makes less than Arod and Jeter combined. Now, I am old enough to remember 1978. However, these Yankees are not the dominant team that the 78 team was. 15 [...]
The employees of the ultimate east coast blue collar beer have kicked the Teamsters out of the shop. The usual he said / she said has resulted, and the Teamsters are calling on their union brothers to boycott the beer. When is the last time a union boycott was effective? I’m guessing it has been [...]
Imagine this scenario. You are the father of an 18 year old daughter who happens to be one of the best high school best pole vaulters in the nation. She also happens to be um, quite popular with the 18-35 year old male blogger demographic. One sports blog noted her combination of athletic skill and [...]

Rumor has it that Skip may have won the first blue ribbon of his show career today, and that there might be video available. In other horse news, I had an ah-ha moment at the show yesterday.
Cory Doctorow at Boing Boing has a really good post on The Case Against Homework. Of course, we all know this stuff as we live it everyday. However it’s highly encouraging to see a high traffic site like Boing Boing rail against the homework-till-you-drop culture permeating schools today.
You are going to need 40 days and 40 nights to get through all the links. Wow. The good professor put some serious time into this.
After getting up at 5 AM and spending all day in 90+ degree heat at a horse show, 2 beers may have been 1 beer too many. Especially since we have another horse show tomorrow, and the forecast is for record highs near 95 degrees.
This unfiltered wheat beer pours a reddish amber color with lot of stuff floating around in it. When drinking unfiltered beers, lot of stuff floating in it is a good thing. The nose is spicy and sweet, with a slight hint of wheat. The taste is exactly what you might expect given the nose. It’s [...]
I’m not being cute with the name. That’s really what they call it. This ale, hailing from CA, pours a dark amber or “copper” color with a thin head. The nose is fairly nondescript. You can sense the hops, but otherwise there is little character to the nose. The start is all hops, and the [...]
