365 Iowa Beers 297-305: Shamrocks, jalapenos and smoke

If you read my last entry, you’ll probably notice that it ended on beer 299. So why is this one starting on 297? I decided to plug all my beers into Excel, and discovered I had three duplicates. The purity of my experiment is ruined! I suppose I could go back through, renumber every entry… Read More 365 Iowa Beers 297-305: Shamrocks, jalapenos and smoke

365 Iowa Beers 291-299: Court Ave., Boone Valley & Madhouse

How am I starting this list of beers? With a ranking of animated TV dads, based on how much they love their kids (most to least). Bob Belcher Homer Simpson Stan Marsh Stu Pickles Peter Griffin Rusty Venture Fred Flinstone (did he ever interact with Pebbles?) Beer 291: West O 10 Foot 10 ABV: 10.1%… Read More 365 Iowa Beers 291-299: Court Ave., Boone Valley & Madhouse

365 Iowa Beers 281-290: Jimmy Carter, Exile & No Coast

When I start these posts, the paragraph at the top is really just there to push the beer listings down a bit so a photo doesn’t throw off the preview. Sometimes I draw a blank on what to type up here, so unrelated to beers, here’s my ranking of X-Factor members from Peter David’s first… Read More 365 Iowa Beers 281-290: Jimmy Carter, Exile & No Coast

365 Iowa Beers 271-280: Barn Town, 515 and family

I don’t really have a good intro for this batch of beers. I hit 275 with this post, another number that makes me feel like I’ve accomplished something, I guess. Assuming you consider drinking a lot of beer an accomplishment. Which I do! Hooray, me! Beer 271: Toppling Goliath Naughty 90 ABV: 8.2% Notes: An… Read More 365 Iowa Beers 271-280: Barn Town, 515 and family

365 Iowa Beers 260-270: SingleSpeed, Madhouse and the Jimmy Carter Happy Hour

While my writing hasn’t kept pace with my drinking, I am closing in on the end of my 365 Iowa Beers challenge. I started this all at the end of April last year, and if I really push myself, I should be able to finish this all up by then. The things I do for… Read More 365 Iowa Beers 260-270: SingleSpeed, Madhouse and the Jimmy Carter Happy Hour

80/35 announces The Shins, MGMT, Action Bronson & more

Sometimes this is still a music blog, so I’ll take this opportunity to post the lineup for the 10th annual 80/35 Music Festival, being held July 7-8 in Western Gateway Park. I helped with the hints video this year, pretend you didn’t see the headline of this blog and see if you can guess who is… Read More 80/35 announces The Shins, MGMT, Action Bronson & more
