link love

this one should actually be on link hate instead of link love
yet another pandering to the concept that women don’t love beer
i guess what can you expect from a women’s magazine… but still
its articles like this that keep the stupid stereotype alive
womens health magazine on the best beers for women

here’s a much better link – to a helpful how-to introduce beer to the not-yet-converted
for all humans with tastebuds!

and a half decent post about orval’s new female head brewer

do it yourself – make a bottle cap table top

tattoo

i got asked the other day what significance my dead frog tattoo has.

besides being my ode to beer and my undying love of it?
(hence making the dead frog virgin mary-like with its rays, emerging from an upturned bottle cap aswirl with hops and barley)

i’m giving a nod to dead frog’s nut brown ale which is the first craft brew i recall drinking that made me think to myself “damn, this shit is good!  there must be a whole lot more great beer like this out there. and by george, i should find it!”

and there it is fresh from the inking…
apparently i don’t have any good photos of it
perhaps i should remedy that…
