I noticed some unexpected traffic on the site earlier, and tracked it to the CBS website. It seems that the results of the Most Valuable Blogger Awards have been posted. Well gosh golly gee, look at that: I can’t get that Karate Kid song out of my head. While I […]

Oh there was way too much wine fun to put into one post. I’m also trying to mention wine as little as possible, which has been working out quite well so far. Onward to the rest of the day! This is what the Lakes Region looks like. Yeah, it’s mostly […]
‘CuseQuest Part 5: MORE Wine
Mama noooooooooo! Wine day. No more Beeracuse; time for the Finger Lakes region and many many (many) wineries and vineyards. What a c-bomb. OW! OW! STOP HITTING ME! I MEANT “COMPROMISE!” Geez. “Compromise” is the c-bomb I was referring to. Stupid compromise. That’s how I talked the Lady Friend into […]

Rule 37: The Casino Royale
Day two of the ‘CuseQuest happened to be my birthday. The Lady Friend woke me up in the morning with a very loving, intimate and special surprise in bed. Beers you sickos! Get your minds out of the gutter. Left to right, they were: – Peak Organic Hop Noir black […]
‘CuseQuest! Part 2: Beer Day – Dino BBQ and Middle ...
Labor Day Weekend. A chance to get away from New England for a bit and continue the drinking adventures a bit farther from home. Due to the Lady Friend’s small cache of available vacation time, we decided to take advantage of Monday’s holiday and skedaddle. But where to? Syracuse! Tha […]
‘CuseQuest! Part 1: The Arrival, Faegan’s, Chuck’s
Well, Hurricane Tropical Storm Windy Day Irene has passed, leaving Squirrel Farts HQ unscathed, aside from a mild flickering of electricity, and an intermittent loss of cable and internet services. Thankfully, a supply of craft beers, cocktail-destined citrus fruits and chips kept the Lady Friend and I well prepared for […]
Rule 37: The Hurricane
As you may have noticed from my constant endorsements, I’m a fan of Bully Boy Distillers, Boston’s first craft distillery since Prohibition. Bam. Because I wasn’t thinking clearly after the liquor geek-out time on the tour, it didn’t occur to me to purchase a bottle at the nearby liquor store […]
Review: Bully Boy White Rum
Harpoon Brewery! A pillar of Boston brewing, to be spoken of both in hushed, reverent tones, and bellowed from the rooftops in joy with several pints coursing through your veins.

Ok. So I’ll admit that the cocktail end of these ramblings have turned mostly beer-centric with many brewery/ brewpub tours n’ tastings. But I’m running this show, and beer is tasty, so here’s another brewery tour. Another glittering brewery frontage. Blue Hills Brewery is located in Canton, MA near the […]
