Fatty Cue, NYC

With SF Beer Week in the rear view mirror, I’m trying to get caught up on some blog posts.  I’ve still got a backlog of pictures from my January trip to New York City.  One of the Highlights: Fatty Cue in Williamsburg, specializing in southeastern style BBQ. After a brisk walk through a orthodox Jewish [...]

Momofuko Ssam Bar NYC

I made my first trip to New York in many, many years this January.  Besides confirming I’ve turned into a soft, squishy Californian who isn’t built of bitter east coast winters.  I explored Manhattan and Brooklyn, eating everything I could find. Plus, it was warm in the restaurants. First up: Momofuko Ssam Bar. After all [...]

Kölsh and Cans at 21st Amendment

I recently joined Twitter, and while I might not be the ardent anti-twitter fanatic I once was, I’m not quite yet 100% sold on the medium either.  That balance is slowly shifting though, as I find the sweet spot for how twitter can be most useful. For example, when about to head out to a Giants game, [...]

Brent’s Deli in Los Angeles

        Jewish Delis in San Francisco suck.  There.  I said it. I really mean it too.  This city has a perfectly decent size Jewish population – why is a really good deli such an impossible task?  In a city with such a taste for restaurants with a strong point of culinary view, a [...]

Great Divide Brewing

After breakfast on the Friday of GABF, we had some time, so we joined many other fellow beer travelers, and headed over to the Great Divide Brewery, which had opened it’s doors wide open for visitors during the conference. Inside, the brewers were freely pouring samples in their brewery, as well as in the tap room. Conference goers mingled on the [...]

Humboldt Breweries Adventure – Part Three: Eel River

   As I packed my car and prepared for the drive back from Humbolt to San Francisco, I was pretty sure I was done with my beer adventures for the day.  After all, I had to drive a fair distance, and it seemed a shame to only be able to sip a few beers.  But [...]

Snooze: Brunch in Denver

  Who doesn’t love brunch?  It has everything you could want in a meal: a leisurely pace, drinks and pancakes.   In Denver, Brian, Kimberley and I asked what was a good spot for brunch, we were told in no uncertain terms to get over to Snooze as quickly as possible.  Once there, we found the place [...]

GABF: Pairing Sessions

One of the reasons I was most excited about GABF was the taste test sessions being held on the main convention floor.  In the middle of the madness was a series of plexiglass glass, holding a set of chairs, a stage, and a list of slated presenters to bring the latest in beer and food tasting.  I managed to [...]
