R.I.P. Prop Joe.

I had a Mad Caddies work shirt with their logo embroidered on the back. Mid to late 90's me loved ska punk.

An old high school acquaintance of mine was at that Buffalo Wild Wings when Montell Jordan performed. She posted the photographic proof on Facebook. That was easily the oddest thing I've seen in my timeline in a good long while.

I believe his point would be that Jeremy runners character was addicted to the adrenaline of disposing the box. This would be similar to me were correspondence and can't stop going back to conflict zones and is addicted to the rush in danger of being in a war zone. In other words he wasn't as accurate as it was about…

The Hoptimum is one of my favorite 'oh my god' beers that still clocks in at $10.99 a four pack. It's unreal. The Torpedo is good too and they're starting to sell it in pint can four packs, which is interesting.

The puma in Chicago was cornered and killed in my old neighborhood of Roscoe Village. The cops shot it nearly 40 times. It's bullet ridden corpse is at the Field Museum. To put into perspective how close to downtown it was....it was south of Wrigley.

The cops are doing paperwork and / or masturbating.

I actually think it was skunked. I would try it again.

Really? I found a four pack on sale in my liquor store for $4.99 (which was shocking and should have been a tip off) but I bought it and it was undrinkable garbage. And I love Sprecher.

You will definitely be able to find New Glarus, and it's true, ignore Spotted Cow and go with just about anything else they do. Ale Asylum will be available (keep in mind that Door County is pretty upscale, there are no actual back woods grocery stores there, you'll find plenty of good liquor stores) as will Central…

When the local beer shops all started carrying Ale Asylum in Chicago, I rejoiced. The brewers used to run the Angelic Brewery, a now-defunct brew pub that was years ahead of its time just off of State St. I spent a whole lot of my 9 years at the University of Wisconsin (there was grad school in there) playing pool…

I loved the book and I can say it's hard as hell to follow what's happening on the page. I was constantly wracking my brain as to who was who and how they connected (and I made it through Infinite Jest). That said, I felt stone just reading it (in the best, muzzy headed but content way of being high, not freaked…

I am criminal defense attorney who does a lot of DUI and license reinstatement work. The warning sign that most evaluators use for problem drinking is before noon. So, drinking before 5 = OK, before noon = problematic.

Founder's has a new beer called Mosaic Promise that is a SMASH pale ale fantastic.

Did 9 shots of Bacardi 151 in 20 minutes at a friend's house freshman year of high school home on Thanksgiving break. Walked the block home, fell in a hedge and was discovered by friends concerned I wasn't going to make the very short amble home. Which was good because this was Wisconsin in November and it was…

The II and VI on his chin on either side of the Cards logo refers to the '2-6' Nation, a Folks / Gangster Disciple aligned (rather than Latin Kings aligned) gang located near the really tough 26th St. neighborhood. Not one to fuck with.

I was just discussing this the other day with friends, where you would put together maybe three to four sites scattered across continents and rotate them as opposed to building these new white elephants every few years. Great idea!

Wiscinois: the awshucks hominess (and secret haughtiness) of Wisconsin meets the shucksters of Chicago. Both northern WI and southern IL could bond over their shared hatred of their urban (or in the case of Madison: hippified) brethren. And you'd have some good fucking beer coming out of that state.

My friend went to Carol's one night with a girl after leaving my 30th birthday party in order to impress / bed her. While at Carol's (an infamous 4AM bar) he ran to the bathroom to throw up and chucked down the sleeve of his winter jacket. It was December and snowing out copiously. He still went home with this girl…

So, I've been a big fan of the beer swapping culture as well. The nice thing about having friends around the country is getting them to buy you beer and ship it to you. Cans make that whole scenario much more reasonable. I live in Chicago and have great access to Three Floyd's which (unfortunately only in bottles)…
