Inspired Brewing: List of Bell’s Brewing Bottles

A few weeks ago, I went to a Bell’s tapping party at The Beer Sellar. They tapped twenty different beers, including the Black Note Stout, one of the best Bell’s beers I have ever had. When we first got there, they were having an issue with the keg. They started taking names and putting them on a list because they only had one keg of it. We ended up getting to try it, but they gave us very small samples. They still charged us full price, but it’s a big beer [...]

Finding Ti Ming & Tem Po with Mark Button

I first met Mark Button on Twitter. We were talking as we all prepared for the 2011 The Spirit International Amateur Golf Championship, and met for person while in Trinity, Texas. We sat, chatted for a bit, and become quick buddies. We have stayed in touch ever since. I knew he was a writer, but had no idea he had written a book. And the book is really good. It’s such a great concept too… “Finding Ti Ming & Tem Po”. It’s the story about these golf gods that appear in [...]

The Beer Sellar Super Bell’s Party

party started at 6:00 and they began tapping one Bell’s beer after another. By the time the night was over, 20 beers would be tapped. The Beer Sellar doesn’t offer flights, so if you wanted to try them all… good luck getting home alive. I ended up trying three of them, but sipped on Sheryl’s beer all night long. Jake had a few that I tried as well. The list of beers was incredible. Some I had never heard of. They even had the Hopslam [...]

Ferry Corsten Releases Full-Length Studio Album

For die-hard EDM lovers, Corsten delivers a stable of epic, anthemic tracks. From the mainroom-killing Brute with fellow superstar, Armin van Buuren, to the punchy Take Me and the electro Don’t Be Afraid with its enormous build and resounding breakdown, Corsten generates a sense of apocalyptic urgency that’s nonetheless melodic and beautiful. Sunday, the bonus track, is written in a minor chord and is eerily good with its stuttered vocal stabs [...]
