Photography by Peter Strobridge A few short weekends ago, I made a trip up to Vail, Colorado in search for beers that towered above us patrons. Two story tall beers and giant barrels the size of tree trunks. It was the Big Beers, Belgians and Barleywines festival. They happened to […]

GABF 2014: Observations from Day Two
Friday is the gateway to the weekend. It inspires us to face the week and its challenges. However, if you read last week’s post, you’ll know this was no average Friday. Only the most established alcoholics would rise to the challenge presented by this Friday. We are those men, and […]
GABF 2014: The Alpha (aka Thursday)
The Great American Beer Festival. GABF. Beer Fest. For some, it’s a beer-drinking crowning achievement to check off the bucket list. For others, it’s an annual party. An excuse to get hammered or dress up in costume and get hammered. Admittedly, I usually fall into the latter of the groups. […]

Tune in. Get drunk.
We’ve been taking our videos a little more seriously lately (in frequency, not actual content) and decided we needed to have a one-stop-shop to house all of our TBT videos and Shut Up and Drink episodes. We thought long and hard. Then had a shit and thought some more. “If […]
