It’s safe to say on 100 degree days, you’re not going to find me running outdoors. So after a week of blistering temps and smoky skies due to wildfires in the Central Valley, I was looking forward to a road trip and a good outdoor beer run in the cool climate of the Humboldt coast. [...]
The Steinber Run
Today marks the first of my beer runner blogs. Although I’ve enjoyed craft beer for most of my adult life, my enthusiasm for an active, running lifestyle was usually trumped by a couple of IPA’s and some guitar pickin’ on the back porch. However, over the last couple of years, I’ve taken running more seriously. [...]
The Chicago Craft Beer Scene, Day 3
Day 3 730am: It’s Friday the 13th. I step out into the morning sun and encounter Cuffey Dame and Jefferin’ Mink (Roxanne and Tara) on the sidewalk in front of the hotel, coffee in hand. Apparently, after Sheffield’s last night, Tara and Nettied Brightlighter (Ian) teamed up with Sarah to check out Chicago after hours [...]

Malt. What does it all mean?
I love beer All kinds. Big, small, light, dark, bitter, hoppy, sweet. You name it, I like it. But of all the words to describe beer, “malty” took me a while to completely understand. Does it mean sweet? Does it mean “bready” (huh?)? Does it mean dark? Does it taste like a biscuit? Just to [...]
Bahl Hornin’ In The Biggest Little City In The World
If you listen closely, you can hear it. It’s subtle, but loud enough to be noticed. The craft beer scene in Northern Nevada is becoming more than just a conversation about pale ales and seasonals. It’s becoming a way of life for those who appreciate the diversity of beers that have been making their way [...]
