First the whine. (Yes, whine, not wine). I’ve had a rough week. I’m trying desperately to figure out what I need to pack for camp, as well as trying to make sure going completely off the grid will not result in unpaid bills (home or work), missed appointments, or anything else important. If that were…

A new kind of race: 1K Beer Walk
On Saturday, Beer Geek and I participated in the Washington Wine Academy/DC School of Beer’s Beer Walk. It was a walk through the Crystal City Underground with multiple beer stations. After our designated driver dropped us off (and took our kids – talk about a good friend), we stopped at the registration table aka Station…
Brewing with Mad Fox
When Beer Geek and I first started dating, he was a home brewer. He made some really good brews back in the day. As life got busier, home brewing fell by the wayside and eventually we sold all of his equipment to make room for all the kid related stuff that came into our lives. …
TTT: beer, balls, and giveaway preview
1. Last night I made a newbie beer drinker mistake. I ordered a beer that I knew had a higher alcohol content than your average beer. It was served in a pint glass. I didn’t really think much about it and when everyone had a second round, I ordered another of the same ’cause that’s…
Three Things Thursday
1. This month I got to meet Tonia, G, AJH, and Jamoosh. They were all a lot of fun. I love that I’ve gotten a chance to meet in person some of the people that I really enjoy interacting with online. So, who’s up next? I’ll be in Wisconsin in August if any midwest peeps…
"Mommy’s boyfriend came over for dinner…"
Beer Geek has jokingly referred to my brewer friends as my “beer boyfriends” for a long time. He’s happy to have me chat with a brewer because it usually means free beer for him. Last night, Jamoosh came over for dinner. He arrived carrying this: Beer Geek instantly vaulted him to “beer boyfriend” status. We…

The Men of SAVOR
So, I got my annual picture of Sam Calagione of Dogfish Head on Saturday night. Shortly thereafter, I got the harebrained alcohol-influenced brilliant idea of getting pictures of myself with as many brewers/owners as I could in the short amount of the evening remaining. (What? You wouldn’t buy a calendar made solely of me with…
Beer Weekend
For only the second time since Jones was born, Beer Geek and I went away for TWO nights. Woohoo! And we went all the way to DC, a distance of about 5 miles LOL. The view from our hotel room After checking into our hotel, we headed over to the Brickskeller for the Lupulin…
A very important decision is looming
I must decide which beer I will drink after completing the Bob Potts Marathon next weekend. The last 2001 Alaskan Smoked Porter? My new love -Heavy Seas Siren Noire? Avery’s Czar Imperial Stout? Great Divide’s Yeti? I still haven’t found Sierra Nevada’s Fritz and Ken’s Ale. Also, most of these sport a 8% or higher…
Run for the Beer race report
As you know, I can’t pass up a virtual race. Even better, a virtual race that I don’t have to actually run. Thanks to Jamoosh at The Last Mile Lounge for the best race I’ve never run. Disclaimer: This is FICTION and only took place in my head. The Run for with Beerathon When I…
