Frightened Rabbit Interview


I told you these guys were awesome...just sayin.

Now the fine folks over at GQ are making the same realization (trend spotter anyone). Check out this totally sweet interview GQ writer Steve Heisler did with Frightened Rabbit lead singer/songwriter Scott Hutchison.
It's 6pm on a Friday where you are; I'm not calling you at the bar or anything, am I?
Oh, no. That would have been terrible. I just wouldn't have answered.
Full interview here.

Men and Beer

I know that I have a tendency to blog about beer quite often. But men like beer...its that simple.

Nobody does it better than the brew mavens across the pond at BrewDog. They make sick beer...double true. Check the latest video which happens to be about their most recent collaboration with SoCal brewers, Stone Brewery.



God I love beer.

Brew Wars, World's Strongest Beer

In recent months there has been an all-out-war between two breweries trying to make/market/sell the world's strongest beer. And it comes as no surprise to readers who's side I am on...BrewDog!!!

Here's the short and sweet of it (with videos to fill in the gaps):
  1. German brewer Schorschbrau made a beer at 31% alcohol...strongest in the world.
  2. Scottish craft beer BrewDog takes that as a challenge and swiftly produces Tactical Nuclear Penguin at 32%.

  3. Tactical Nuclear Penguin (32%)

  4. Schorschbrau responds by pumping out a batch of 39.44% and takes it to market labeling it as 40%...which is a bit of an overstatement in the ABV game.


  5. BrewDog grits its teeth and produces a 41% called Sink The Bismark that hits the beer world with surprisingly great reviews. This beer rocks.

For what its worth...I love BrewDog and everything they stand for. I welcome Sink The Bismark into my life eagerly and you should too. Do it. Find it. Drink it.
