Howdy beer fans, As I mentioned in a post many weeks back, this past weekend was the Tennessee Winter Beer Fest – the second annual to be exact. The fest was nothing short of awesome! While I’m a BIG fan of craft beer, it’s the people that make this all worthwhile; you guys came out, definitely [...]

What do 56 crazy people, 35 degrees of cold air, 3.8 miles of running, and $1-off pints of craft beer have in common?  I have enjoyed them all last Monday at the Bearden Beer Market. I’ve been drinking beer for more than a decade, and I’ve been running for sport and exercise for about a [...]

Our fellow friends in retail have been reminding us of that with decorative displays and copious amounts of decorations for sale since Labor Day weekend. At this rate, Valentine’s Day candy should be hitting the shelves any day now. That [...]

For beer geeks like you and me, we have the beer growler to help us transport tasty draft beer from one location to the next. Whether it be home brew, our favorite draft, or a hard to find beer from another city, the growler is a beer geek must have. The thing about growlers is, [...]
