Hip Hops: Pivo in Skopje with the greatest seismologist of them all (1987)

I’ll grant you that portions of this story do not pertain specifically to beer, although judicious quantities of Скопско пиво (Skopsko Pivo) were consumed in late May of 1987, when a bumbling 26-year-old hick from somewhere near French Lick (New Albany, Indiana to be precise) found himself afoot in Yugoslavia, a nation that ceased to […]

Hip Hops: Why I’m pumped about Monnik’s new Rose Hill Lager Haus

Hi, I’m Roger, an erstwhile “beer guy” charged with holding down this digital fort in quiet desperation, or something like that (the metaphors flow like craft cocktail programs in frantic times like these). Today is not customarily “Hip Hops” day, but I drink the pint I’m dealt/handed/poured, which comes to me from Amanda Hancock at […]

The Bar Belle: “3 broads visit 3 breweries”

Our cover photo comes to us from AB InBev.  A few years ago, Sara “The Bar Belle” Havens was joined by two of her friends on a year-long “brewcation” quest that brought them to the three biggest breweries in America: Miller, Budweiser and Coors.

Bourbon: “Winning whiskeys and what’s on the bourbon horizon”

F&D’s Sara Havens surveys the bourbon scene. Trying to stay on top of all the new bourbon and whiskey releases is damn near impossible, but I can say without a doubt I tried my best to taste as many as I could in 2024. You would think my memory would be kaput after this major feat, […]

New Year’s Eve on Swiss time at Holy Grale

Take it away, Ringo. My personal strategy for coping with the stressful demands of welcoming a new year is to be fast asleep in my own bed when the clock strikes midnight. Judas Priest is fine by me, but “living after midnight, rocking to the dawn” no longer tops my list of objectives. But to each […]
