I finally got back to the interview I did with Gary Fish a couple weeks back. I did manage to post some of the "breaking news" tidbits , but none of the interesting historical anecdotes. The most interesting was this following story, where Gary relates how Black Butte Porter became the first beer they distributed in Portland . I had just asked Gary why he thought a dark beer would be a hit--when...

The Beerbuddha (Free subscription) | 06/11/2009
Every once in a while a beer comes along that truly blows my mind. Let's be honest though, when it comes to beer blowing my mind really isn't all that hard. Recently though I was lucky enough to pick up a bottle of the Terrapin/Left Hand Brewing collaboration brew called Depth Charge. It is an espresso milk stout using Jittering Joe's espresso. Now anyone who knows me knows that I hate coffee. I have...

Planet Intertwingly (Free subscription) | 06/11/2009
It’s with a modicum of fanfare and a cocktail of orange peel, maraschino, bitters, bourbon and vermouth that I announce the 0.8.2 release of Hpricot. The angly thingies are just two martini glasses turned on their side, see? Pouring out hpricoty goodness for you. (I don’t know if _why imbibed alcoholic beverages but I feel the desire to raise a glass to him.) This release is mostly a refresh;...

Band practice was canceled again. It was so easy to schedule when half the band was laid off or on reduced hours. I won't say it sucks that we're all back to working full time, but it puts a crimp in our rehearsal schedule. I don't know if the practice will end up moving to another slot in the week, but if it does, I now know what I'll do on Thursday nights. I've put off trying this ride. The Animals...
