When I think of bad places to drink beer, Oklahoma immediately comes to mind. While I’ve never been to Oklahoma, I have heard the horror stories of “three-two beer.” So why is Oklahoma doin’ fine? Because they decided to maintain the status quo, and when facing the alternative, that ain’t so bad.

I’m a little old fashioned. When it’s time for a haircut, i go to a barber here in Santa Rosa. I always get a shave with my haircut. It’s relaxing and I get a chance to get in some old school barber shop style conversation. But this blog is about beer [...]

It took me a while to find a bottle of He’Brew Jewbelation 11. When I did find a bottle I was quite jubilant. When I found a second bottle, the emotion was the same. This meant I could drink one now, and save another for later. Well, everything that happens now, [...]

Back on my birthday, my friend Tommy gave me a book. This was surprising because Tommy is not much of a beer drinker and happened to grab a book where the late Michael Jackson was the Editor-in Chief. I immediately began reading the book and have recently finished it. Here is my review of Eyewitness [...]

Running errands the afternoon brought me to downtown Santa Rosa. While heading back to the car I found myself on a corner where I could see the outdoor seating for Russian River only a few yards away. Dinner with the in laws was more than 30 from that time, plenty of time to [...]

I have been looking forward to my first visit to Stout Brothers all week. With my daughter only 8 months old, the wife and I really have to be careful where we take her. I contacted the pub to make sure it was a family friendly establishment, at least during the day. I was told [...]
