Brews You Can Use

Moose Drool? The best-selling craft beer in Montana: Moose Drool [http://beerreport.com/news/montanas-best-brown-ale]. The writer at the Beer Report calls it "a terrific and compulsively-drinkable beer" (and all of us non-winos could use a little more such compulsion). The LA Times named it November's

Drunk in New York Seinfeld was one of the most NYC-centered sitcoms of all time. Has any other comedy show revolved so heavily around neighborhood life and references to everyday NY things as Seinfeld? If so, I can't think of them. I loved that show, but one thing

The Modern Drunkard I was having a heck of a time finding bloggable drinking material last night. And then I stumbled across an old friend: Modern Drunkard Magazine [http://moderndrunkardmagazine.com/]. Its editor, Frank Kelly Rich, would appear to be a genuine drunk [http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2002138215_

Nonetheless, they have a good drinking page, which I stumbled across earlier this week: Esquire Drinks Database [http://www.esquire.com/drinks/]. It'

Mercy, whatta week. I took Marie out to dinner last night, and I didn't even order a beer. I simply felt too lousy. The doctor says I'm fine, so I'm probably just suffering from lameness. Marie and the kids are leaving for the weekend.

An old drinking friend comes to town tonight: Uncle Joe (who's movin' kinda slow--joke [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_Buchanan]). He re-located from Detroit to Florida about six years ago. Born in 1946, he's the first of the baby-boomers, but more conservative than the

Is this Brews You Can Use or Family Hour? It's BYCU, but these are the reasons I drink. Actually, they're the reasons this isn't a 24/7 drinking blog. I drank far (far, far) more before I became a father. I think the twenty-something
