Um… I’m a web admin for a state agency. I spend my days knee deep in content management systems and answering questions about social media. I didn’t drink beer until college, and didn’t drink good beer until about five years ago. I’ve been an on and off homebrewer since 2006, my favorite recipe is a dry hopped rye, my default beer is an IPA or rye ale. My beer Degobah was Washington state and my beer Yoda was my corporate AMEX. Besides beer, I like my wife, chess, Apple stuff, music, disc golf, and the Internet.

    Look who’s 21… It’s Over a Pint. Finally legal. We’ve been voting, smoking and purchasing adult media for a while now, but at last, we don’t have to ask homeless guys outside the gas station to buy us beer.

    JT from Flying Dog just put this out there.

    I’m looking forward to the Raging Bitch. Supposed to be a Belgian style IPA. I like those.

    Alright. I was traveling last week, thus the tardiness of this post.
    Also, it’s our first Sunday post I think.

    Oh. Yeah.
    We love these guys. You love these guys. They moved north, are in a new facility roughly the size of a shopping mall (I was told they could drive an 18 wheeler inside and around the warehouse!), are having a party, there will be beer.
    Done and done.
    From the horses mouth:
    Come out for our Grand [...]

    I had the hardest time spelling “episode” as I typed out the title.
    Weird.
    Come one come all to our 20TH episode (took me three times to spell it this time too!) of Over a Pint, the beer “vlog” show featuring  some guy drinking beers, asking questions, and making things awkward with your favorite ATX beer influencers.
    Yup. [...]

  • Knocking ‘em Back at Flying Saucer EP 2.1

    2/25/10 • (1)

    Hmm. So we decided it was a good idea to do this again.
    In our defense, we met this guy we don’t know who said he heard the first Knocking ‘em Back podcast… no word if he liked it. BUT that he heard it was all we needed to do a second one.

    Welcome welcome to another episode of Over a Pint. For number 19 we met up with Jason Armstrong, the Southern Central US Stone Brewing Rep.

    Jason had a lot to say. [...]

  • Saint Arnold Pub Crawl, 75% of the Story

    2/22/10 • (2)

    There are better Saint Arnold Pub Crawl wrap ups and coverage out on the internets, but since I took pictures I figured I might as well post ‘em.
    Why only 75% of the story?
    My wife and I had tickets to see Damien Jurado and Balmorhea at 9, so I skipped out on Little Woodrow’s.
    So JIB and I went out [...]
