    Greetings From The Midwest

    Where in the world is The Wench? After driving across country, I had a little less than two weeks of “down time” (and by “down time” I really mean spending time trying to adjust to my new scenario) before embarking on a beer themed trip to the Midwest. At first, I was only going to [...]

    Uncle Billy’s Brew & Que Tour

    At the end of August, a good friend and I embarked upon the cross country road trip of a lifetime. The road trip had multiple purposes — 1. it was my big move from Florida to California (my whole life actually fit into a Dodge Neon = ridiculous) 2. it was the preliminary launch of [...]

    “Underground” In NOLA Day TWO

    In my last post, I noted that NOLA is not particularly known for its beer bars.  There are a handful of decent beer bars and only one or two that have noteworthy beer lists. The poses a predicament for the local beer geeks. Frequenting the same bars over and over can get rather old fast. [...]

    After taking a kick-ass tour and enjoying a tasting flight of beer at the Dogfish Head Craft Brewery in Milton – my friend and I made the trek down to the Dogfish Head Brewpub (called DFH Brewing & Eats) in Rehoboth Beach, DE.

    Dogfish Head Brewery Tour

    Where did we last leave off? Ah yes, now I remember … Last week I made the bold decision to leave the state of Ohio – never to return again. (Well that is a BIG lie. Being an Ohio State alumni and a wickedly obsessed Buckeye football fan, it is guaranteed that I will return [...]

    Victory VIP Tour

    Recently, I made the bold decision to completely uproot my life and embark on an entirely new adventure. I quit my job without the prospect of another one.
