I watched a murder mystery movie tonight while drinking delicious pumpkin beer (another post on that soon) and I ended up drawing a character I created a few years back just for funsies.

A few weeks ago while in Vermont, I got to visit the magical and tasty Ben & Jerry’s factory in Waterbury. However, while Ben & Jerry’s is my ice cream of choice, their penchant for adding swirls and chunks of candies and fruit to create their many eclectic flavors make partaking in their cups and cones as dangerous as it can be delightful.

Ok folks, semi-long time, no blog (‘cept that post about the Beatles a day ago, but you get me)!
I’m going to start making that up to you all right now. First things first, “What’s been the hubbub, bub?” Let me tell you…

Ok, so I haven’t been blogging that much of late. But, it’s not because I don’t totally love all you readers and have plenty of super rad stuff to say. The problem is simple: I have been extremely busy with tons of real life stuff away from the interwebs. Like…

Last week, I wrote up a bunch of notes on four beers I had grabbed for review. Then I wrote up some short, rough recaps on the drinking experiences. Put simply, it’s been an extremely busy week and I haven’t had a chance to take a look at these, but I’ve whipped them into what I think is a palatable reading experience that’ll hopefully be helpful to fellow beer-drinkers. So, read on, whet your appetite, then head home and have a beer.

Today’s blog theme is apparently sharing my favorite YouTube videos with the masses, but what better way to recapture sitting around with some buddies on laptops drinking beers and perusing the interwebs?! By the way, if you haven’t ever partaken in a night of casual drunkenness and online laughter, you should! In fact, I have a story about that which I’ll recount after the video and after the jump, so read on!

Sun splaying out from between tree branches and splashing across a patio in the late afternoon as a pitcher of cool wheat beer, adorned with several lemon slices, sweats on the table.
If the above fits your description of an ideal night of drinking, than you’re my kind of beer lover.
The weather here in Northern New Jersey has turned toward summer and my taste buds have been calling for a pint of chilled wheat to fight off the heat, so I’m kicking off my Reviews of Brews with three summer beers that hopefully will be the perfect filler for that soon-to-be sweating pitcher: Victory’s Whirlwind Witbier, Long Trail’s Belgian White and High Point’s Ramstein Blonde Hefe-Weizen.

One of the greatest and most addicting things about working on the internet or running a blog is how immediately you can get tons of feedback. Programs like Google Analytics and WordPress Stats track all sorts of little things having to do with your site: From how many hits it’s getting and who’s linking your site to where in the world your visitors are coming from and which posts the interweb public seems most interested in. Once you start poring over the numbers and stats, it can easily become a massive fascination—even for folks like myself who aren’t really math-inclined.

“Good people drink good beer.”—Hunter S. Thompson
The above is a quote that adorns the packaging of the brew from the Flying Dog Brewery—one of my favorites in the States—and a statement I hope is true in my case.
Like many people who value their own opinions enough to plaster them all over the internet, I fancy myself a bit of a connoisseur—be it comics, movies, literature or TV, I generally like to think I have a discerning taste and approach my passion for my hobbies that way. This approach includes my passion for beers.
