The 99th Pint – Devil’s Britches IPA

January 28, 2014 Comments Off on The 99th Pint – Devil’s Britches IPA

A Friday evening, I met a friend at Highland Brewery. That night, I knew I was going to start this series but I didn't plan what I would drink. I want this to be an organic sort of experience.

September 3, 2013 Comments Off on Sipping Beer Now and Zen

It’s far from quiet here but the pressure and stress of the day seems to belong to someone else now. The sun is shining (for now) and fellow patrons are chattering and laughing. Outside, some birds are singing their songs.

Drink Seasonaly: Devil’s Britches from Highland Brewing

March 4, 2013 Comments Off on Drink Seasonaly: Devil’s Britches from Highland Brewing

Yesterday someone asked me the question:"What is your favorite beer?"How in the world does someone answer that question? I guess a lot of people have a go-to beer or a favorite style. For me it seemed like trying to pick a favorite child. I thought abo...
