Paleo on the Road #1
Dinosaur__Caveman_057911

(N.B. Brent wrote this back in November) So let’s give you some background.  I’ve been doing Crossfit-style workouts 5 days a week for 6 months, and have gone Paleo for 2. I just got a job as a traveling consultant, and I’ve been scared to death that my “per diem” was going to take my diet and send it to [...]

South Florida’s newest brewery opens its doors! Tequesta Brewing Co.
Tequesta Brewing Co. Logo

It’s been a long time coming, and last night the Tequesta Brewing Co. finally opened its doors to the public for a “soft” opening. I use the term soft very loosely because as you can see below, this was probably the most packed soft opening I’ve seen in my life! As I wrote about in July the Corner Cafe and Brewery [...]

Shvitzing Matilda: On the Road, Volume #5
#FlaBrew loves Dogfish Head Craft Brewery!

Life has been crazy this past month (thanksgiving, finals, surgery etc….), and I failed to complete our DC/DE trip update… I’m sorry! I’ll pick up where I left off; Delaware! I think this picture pretty well sums up what a great trip we’re having at this point : I was definitely a little wary dragging my parents out to Delaware [...]

Shvitzing Matilda: On the Road, Volume #3
Allagash Fluxus 2010, Imperial Chocolate Stout

Day #3 We had big plans to spend most of the morning in the Smithsonian Museum of American History and then hit the Georgetown waterfront for a late lunch. After a couple of hours wandering the amazing exhibits, my folks were done; too much walking the day before called for a lazy, sun soaked, beer in hand afternoon by the river. [...]

Cigar City | A Craft Beer call to arms (or words at least…)
Cigar City Brewing, Tampa's Craft Beer

Joey Redner of Cigar City Brewing posted of the company’s local-government-induced woes on their blog this morning. Last week they went to have their wet-zoning permit renewed – which should have been a cakewalk – and ran into several councillors who ran red flags up over unsubstantiated claims of neighborhood disturbances and increased crime rates. The vote ended tied 3-3. [...]

Shvitzing Matilda: On the Road, Volume #4
Back Camera

So we left the big city D.C behind, and headed out to Rehoboth Beach, DE. Friends had lent us their condo for the week and we were planning on having a relaxing old time, along with a couple of brewery tours thrown in for good measure! First stop after dumping our luggage – Dogfish Head Brewpub! We tried a couple [...]

Brewpub review: The Funky Buddha Lounge & Brewery
The Funky Buddha's handpainted tap handles

I’m going to start out by being perfectly honest. I’ve had a love-hate relationship with the Funky Buddha almost from the day it opened 4 years ago. I always loved the fact that it was somewhere I could get a great beer, but the hookah smoking crowd has never really been my cup of tea. That all changed one Saturday [...]

Restaurant-Brewery Review: The Corner Cafe & Brewery

  (Photo via http://www.cornercafeandbrewery.com) It was hot yesterday. Goddamnit hot. Well, it is July in SoFL and what else should I expect? Nothing, that’s what. But, you know what I can do about it? I can drink beer; it makes it hurt less. As you can see in this picture, I’m less than impressed by the heat, and am soooooo [...]
