Cambridge Common was one of the stops.  That's where I had the 75 on cask.  I love that bar, but I agree, Davis has better spots.

I can see that about Racer 5. Sometimes the citrus is just right for me, and that day it worked.  Could have been an elitist thing too, sipping a tulip glass of craft beer while others split a pitcher of some sort of corn-based thing.

This past Saturday I did a pub crawl up the red line from Davis Square through Harvard Square.  I have to say, my taste in beer (notably, the high ABV brews) does not make for an easy, survivable crawl.  Fortunately, I approached it like the responsible 33-year old that I am: I ate food and drank a glass of water at…

I miss running.  Usually at this point of the year I'm out and about, but life, as it is wont to do, has so far been getting in the way in the form of fixing up a house every day after work and all day on the weekends for the past two months.  Fortunately, come June 1, the lady and I will be all moved in and I can…

Welcome to the non-traditional colored jeans club.  I dipped my toes into the waters last year with white jeans (pro-tip: white jeans day and Nacho Cheesier! Doritos day can never happen at the same time) and then proceeded to light green denim this spring (so far I refuse to call the color "wintergreen" because it's…

Sierra Nevada's Hoptimum is back!  I love this beer and now I have some again.

@avclub-d542a3419c3ad57206a96bcc86155ebc:disqus So it's not bad. Sold!

The wife is in Seattle on a business trip this week and whenever she travels my interest in cooking meals goes away and I shift into Eating Whatever Just So I Stay Alive mode, so for dinner last night I found a one pound bag of frozen edamame in the back of the freezer and proceeded to cook and eat the whole thing.

Easily one of my favorites.  I don't know if I'm in some sort of Bermuda Triangle of Good, but I was surprised to learn that it's a somewhat difficult bottle to get a hold of. I've always been able to snag a bottle whenever I've wanted one (which isn't often, as I put that one into the "savor" category so I don't burn…

Did you like Ri?  I've been meaning to give that a go but haven't yet.

Ooh, since you're in Massachusetts too, I'd recommend you check out Gale Force gin.  It's made by Cisco Brewing out on the Cape.  It's a really nice gin that can easily be sipped as a stand-alone drink (no juniper flavoring) and it makes a good martini, too.

I'm 100% behind the Corona.  In every other way imaginable, I'm a beer snob, but when I'm out in the summer sun, Corona with a lime is just fantastic.  It doesn't hurt that you can probably drink 13 of them and still be sober, either.

I just picked up a bottle of Bulleit 10 Year yesterday.  I haven't opened it yet, but I'm looking forward to trying this one out. I'm hearing good things about it.

Yeah, as much as I want to take The Killing back (there's a good show at the heart of it, it's just buried under terrible), I don't think I can trust that it has changed its ways.

She said it during last week's Two Charted.

"Cube do bad?"
"Yes, cube do bad."

I'm a masochistic completist when it comes to Who Charted for some reason.  Usually Howard has a few gems in those live shows, but he seriously didn't even show up for this one until the guests left and he rapped.

I was a bit nervous about the Auckerman vs. Maron episode of CBB just because the format and Maron could have really changed the normal tone of the show, but that was great.  Maron's usually more upbeat (or less morosely introspective, maybe?) when he's a guest on other people's podcasts, so I had some hope that it…

Seriously. I never thought I'd say this, but I think Tracy Reardon may have edged ever so slightly past Wompler as one of my favorites.  That episode was pure gold the whole way through.  The only thing that would have made it any better was if Mike the Janitor actually turned into Lord Andrew Lloyd Weber.

Huh.  Not where I would have expected to find this week's Who Charted.  I'm glad last week's Twooch set up that this live episode was kind of a slog because, my god, it was a slog, even by their previous live show standards.  Howard was all but completely absent until the end, I felt bad for Peter and Robert, who…
