I like High Life a little, because it was the cheap beer I drank with a friend who I would watch new episodes of True Detective with in its first season (so that's really recently, sue me), but I feel like everything I like about High Life can be found in Narragansett, but better, and with fewer of the drawbacks.

I know Redhook has a brewery in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, hence why I was able to enjoy a pint of their delicious Long Hammer IPA for less than the market value of a firstborn child the other week, and from what Redhook's site is telling me, they try to brew the same beers (whatever your hypothesis of location being…

That's a fair point about the prose, but saying this as someone who followed his columns for other sites, I think Will's really tightened it up in his time writing for Deadspin and its sub-blogs.

Yeah, I'm actually really curious, it sounds delicious.

I think that's a variation on "Apples and Oranges", which is apple cider (of any variety, but the friend who introduced it to me used Martinelli's Sparkling*), vodka, and triple sec (or just orange vodka).

*I think it's OK, if a little too cloying for my tastes. I'm out in western MA and I personally prefer Carlson's…

This is a good article covering the subject, but I just have a quibble with this line: "... the obvious sympathy a jury would elicit for a father who just watched his sons die at the hands of a drunk driver,..."

I refer to it as "Magic: the Saddening" sometimes for a) its capacity to frustrate my friends endlessly and b) how attention-consuming and unbelievably dorky it is (try hanging out with people when half or more of them suddenly want to talk about MtG and nothing else for a solid hour).

Yep, they're great. My sole complaint is that I keep finding ways to drop or damage them, despite their reliability and sturdiness. Comically, this means that my $15 NorelCo trimmer has seen a longer lifespan than any of my razors, electric or not.

This is absolutely right. Fast food prices are so ridiculous that lunch (complete with beverage and tip) at one of my hometown's nicest restaurants is the same price as or cheaper than a full meal at Burger King.

Polar Beverages is one of my steadfasts for certain needs, their seltzers included. I for one love to make the occasional Paloma (tequila, lime juice, grapefruit & soda water (seltzer here, I guess) or grapefruit soda) with their Half & Half (lemon and grapefruit) soda. One thing I enjoy is how few of their offerings…

On the one hand, sometimes Chipotle serves an area with a significant drought of burrito-making establishments, in which case it's kind of understandable that it's caught on. It gets grating that people (meaning, the people I know, kind of know, or can't work up the basic initiative to disasociate from on social…

Reminds me of when I saw Watchmen at an IMAX theater.

After I read this article and discovered that Old Crow had the same mash bill & yeast as JB, the primary differences being possible barreling factors and that Jim Beam White Label is aged a year longer, I did a taste test between Old Crow Reserve and Beam, and decided that if it was cheap bourbon I wanted, OCR would…

Seconding this. I live in New Angryland, same as Will Gordon, but I'm closer to New Hampshire, and good liquors that meet my saddening criteria for affordability is a short, short car ride away.

I like the inclusion of Old Fitzgerald — a friend with a taste for Maker's Mark has inspired me to look into wheated whiskeys, and while I'd love to try Wheatfish or Spring Wheat from Montana, there aren't any stores that get shipments around where I live (according to their sites), so I appreciate the recommendation…

I'll have to keep an eye out for that. I spent the extra cash to get a bottle of Rittenhouse, and while it's splendid, I'd definitely be enthused for a cheaper rye — especially to get to know this branch of the whisk(e)y family tree better.

That B:TAS reference is perfect, especially given the show's version of the origin story for Clayface.

Those aren't the worst thing. C'mon. You're essentially getting free cookies with wine. (Or free wine with cookies, if you want to get philosophical/ascribe an overly high value to Chips Ahoy.)

Alec and Hilaria made the right call here spelling the first name "Carmen" and not "Karmin". Down that road madness and bad music lie.

Are you kidding? "North West" is awesome. I can't speak for the name Gwyneth "Honky Prime" Paltrow gave to her daughter, though...
