I received this email 2 weeks ago, “Guess what? You were the winner of the ORVW 10!! I couldn’t believe it when I saw your name but I’m glad to know that it’s to someone that will appreciate it” I’ve been talking to Blake from Bourbonr for over a year. His blog is top-notch and …

I’ve traded twice with this guy and our boxes just keep getting better!

I picked up a Canon 5D Mark III today and wanted to try it out with some food and beer. Really happy with the preliminary results so far. Also, you guys might notice the new website, photo watermark, etc. More on that in the coming days.

Technically, this is a Kickstarter for Foldio2. I saw a very low cost LCD light box that’s also portable for a great price. I ended up going with 3 LED light strips and it has a dimmer although I really don’t intend on lowering the brightness. The light box also has 4 different backdrop colors. …

Last week, I posted this haul from my recent trip to Belgium. Kurt emails me with information that he sent me 8 boxes instead of 7. I guess when you’re getting that much beer, you lose track. This last box arrived on Monday and I should update the haul with this addendum post. So here …

The last Beer Haul was really impressive even to me. Looking back, it was a very crazy quarter. This one was much less crazy but certainly worthy of a post. I’m going to save my March and May Belgian trip hauls for their own post which will go up around June. Edit: the March Lambic …

I returned from Belgium about 1 month ago but it takes a while to get things sent over here. Finally, all 4 boxes arrived and into the cellar they go!!!! Being able to bring home a case +2 of Saint Lamvinus and Cantillon Bruocsella  along with 4 Framboos and a lot of Rose, I feel …

I realize that I haven’t rated beers like Brooklyn Lager or 2X IPA from Southern Tier. Heck, I haven’t rated Folsom or Molson XXX. so I hit the local store and grabbed a bunch of out-of-code shelf beers for this weekend. If anything stands out, I’ll be sure to post reviews here but I’m not …

I’m splitting a Hoarders Society Membership with my friend Eric who for the past 2 years was my trustee. We swapped at least 6 boxes a year since January of 2013 and he’s been a very trustworthy guy. We’re already into February and I’ve only ordered 2 bottles of the allocations. If I was in …
