My column appears in LEO Weekly every other week. Basically, I write about drinking — where to drink, what to drink, when to drink, why to drink and how much to drink.

Alas, I did not win the Powerball this weekend. I had big, big plans for the money, however, so now I’m bummed out. My first order of business was to buy the condo building across from Big Bar and move in with my friends. Then I was going to pay off my car, get rid [...]

This summer they’re launching Elder Betty (an Elderberry Weiss), Blind Faith (an IPA) and HiCu (an ale flavored with cucumber and hibiscus). I haven’t tasted them yet because [...]
