The beer: Battle Road 1775 Tavern Ale The commentary: Michelle, who early on seemed overly confident for no good reason (certainly not from a talent perspective) only to turn things around when it counted, won season XI of Project Runway. She deserved it, I suppose, after Stanley went all “What do you mean it’s tomorrow? […]

The game: Texans at Patriots The beer: Notch Valley Malt BSA (Brewer Supported Agriculture) Farmhouse Ale The result: Win, 41–28; Anthony Ryan, 5–0 The commentary: I am out of beer. After last weekend’s yummy porter and Sunday evening’s so-so Notch (saisons and farmhouse ales are pretty hit-or-miss for me, which is strange in this case […]
The game: Texans at Patriots The beer: Smuttynose Scotch Ale The result: Win, 42–14 The commentary: I had it all figured out. Thursday, December 6 featured Smuttynose Shoals Pale Ale in my 365 Bottles of Beer for the Year calendar (it’s leap year: plus one, suckers!). When I saw it last week I said “Snap! […]
Your local classic rock radio station is playing one of their songs right now, has just finished playing it or will do so once “Hotel California” is over. The hard rock station up the dial is in the middle of a three-fer (“Rock and Roll,” “Traveling Riverside Blues” and “The Ocean”) and those sweaty old […]
The beer: Anchor Porter The commentary: Are you ready for some third-stringers? Then you’re ready for preseason game three. Feel the heat! I didn’t pay much attention to the action. A. went out with some friends and G. was down for the night, so it was just me, some substandard Chinese food and the Anchor […]
“Since the football season ended I’ve needed an excuse to run off at the mouth, and forcing myself to comment on forty-eight songs seemed like a solution. Maybe next year, if I’m able to actually enjoy any music and/or write complete sentences with a son or daughter to worry about, I can try to control […]
The game: Ravens at Patriots The beer: Shipyard Double Old Thumper Ale The result: Win, 23–20 The commentary: It’s not so hard to relate to a billionaire. Robert Kraft is suffering a pain I never want to experience, and the manner in which he continues to carry himself and so publicly express his emotions, affections […]
The beer: Founders Porter The commentary: Last year at this time (I am not providing the link) I had a Berkshire Shabadoo all set to go for a second playoff contest that didn’t happen. Never again, I vowed… until I was shopping for tonight’s beer at Kappy’s this morning and couldn’t decide between options A […]
The game: Colts at Patriots The beer: Just Beer Moby D American Ale The result: Win, 31–24 The commentary: Like the Pittsburgh game, only the exact opposite, this one was nowhere near as close as the final score indicated. Brady, Welker and Gronkowski were doing every single thing against the Colts that they wanted to […]
