Here’s something weird that has been happening for me, and I’m not sure if it’s coincidence or the luck of the Irish Pub or what, but….. EVERY time I’ve gone to this central Virginia fan’s Giants Meetup at Finn McCool’s Irish Pub – the Giants win. Every. Single. Time. It’s gotten me pretty shaken at this [...]

Clamps and Gaskets is a weekly wrap-up of stories that I have not posted at Yours For Good Fermentables.com , but that, nevertheless, I find interesting or germane. Most of the pieces deal with beer (or wine, or whisky); some do not. But all are brief, and many are re-posts from my Twitter account: twitter.com/cizauskas . This is Week 46: 15 November - 21 November 2009 2009.11.21 How to destroy a brewery....

The smoking ban was what prompted the creation of this blog in the first place and, while the blog isn’t solely about the ban, it remains one of its key themes. We all know what it has done to the pub trade, but it’s an interesting question how it has affected me personally. Now, I am a non-smoker of many years’ standing, something which one or two commentators on this blog have failed...

We decide to celebrate the aforementioned birthday with a dinner for two at Pichet on trinity street about which much had been written since it opened, most of it very good. For the evening that was in it, rather than have a pint in a pub beforehand we opted to go all posh and have a glass of wine in the winebar in the basement of Fallon & Byrne, which belied the "recession" by being...

Beer is the third-most-consumed liquid in the world (after water and tea), but not long ago it was still surprisingly hard to find a decent beer bar in Los Angeles. No, not an ultra lounge cordoned off by velvet ropes and cologne-soaked bouncers or a high-end speakeasy specializing in retro cocktails. A bar. One [...]

The truth about life is this. Unless you are independently wealthy or a professional athlete or in some other profession that puts you in a position where big things happen to you a lot, life is not full of big moments. Its the small moments that make life what it is. Sure you have your wedding and the arrival of your children and your travelling to wonderful locales. You have your love affairs and...

A growing phenomenon nowadays is that of the “ostentatious non-drinker” who, in a public setting, makes a point of ordering soft drinks and being seen to do so, hoping to make those degenerates who do have a glass of beer or wine feel vaguely guilty. However, very often he or she is someone who is known to like jugging it back in private. This can’t do anything to help the pub trade,...

It’s not often that we give a positive review to a restaurant that started flooding during our meal. Heck, it’s not often that we EXPERIENCE a flood during our meal - though the urge to pair up and make like Noah’s animals gave our date a certain sense of urgency. But Paramount Room is an exception. An upscale pub from the group behind the popular Roscoe Village spots Kitsch’n...

I'm just stumbling over beer news in my normal news perusal, so here, look over mu shoulder: BBC News: the seemingly weekly news of booze being healthy : "Drinking alcohol every day cuts the risk of heart disease in men by more than a third, a major study suggests. The Spanish research involving more than 15,500 men and 26,000 women found large quantities of alcohol could be even more beneficial...
