Score. Next, I found a bottle of this Meantime "Coffee Porter" stuff. $3.25 for a small bottle, but ya gotta love the tag line: a full cup of coffee with every serving. If not for the swank bottle, I'd ... http://www.emptyfree.com/beer/wp-commentsrss2.php?p=44 http://beer.emptyfree.com/index.php?p=43 http://beer.emptyfree.com/index.php?p=43#comments Tue, 23 Jan 2007 17:01:08 +0000 beer http://beer.emptyfree.com/index.php?p=43 I never tried a bottle of Big Bear, but it will hold a special place in my heart for one reason: I remember seeing it at a liquor store a few years ago when it was priced under a buck. Damn. Dollar store beer. FORTY ounces of beer for 99 cents. I ... http://www.emptyfree.com/beer/wp-commentsrss2.php?p=43 http://beer.emptyfree.com/index.php?p=42 http://beer.emptyfree.com/index.php?p=42#comments Sat, 25 Nov 2006 21:08:24 +0000 beer http://beer.emptyfree.com/index.php?p=42 I've never been to Rabbit's bar, but goddamned. Gotta love how they've decorated the place. Yes, that's right. A cute, cuddly, widdle bunny rabbit. With a stein of beer in it's hand. It's practically screaming, "Hey, kids! Drinking beer is fun! Even cartoon rabbits drink beer! It's great!" Well, OK, not really. It's ... http://www.emptyfree.com/beer/wp-commentsrss2.php?p=42 http://beer.emptyfree.com/index.php?p=40 http://beer.emptyfree.com/index.php?p=40#comments Tue, 09 May 2006 14:10:33 +0000 beer http://beer.emptyfree.com/index.php?p=40 So, Chicagoans. How many of you are going to Beer on the Pier? I'm tempted to go... something about 100-150 different breweries in one place + unlimited sampling that appeals to me. Tix are $35 in advance. I abhor Navy Pier though. I'm not quite sure how "4-D mazes," "Sea Dog," "Children's ... http://www.emptyfree.com/beer/wp-commentsrss2.php?p=40 http://beer.emptyfree.com/index.php?p=39 http://beer.emptyfree.com/index.php?p=39#comments Wed, 08 Mar 2006 04:57:57 +0000 beer http://beer.emptyfree.com/index.php?p=39 Firegod was in town last Sunday. Got to hang out with him, his missus to be and Turkish Spock. We had a great time, and ended up at Simon's Tavern in Andersonville. While Turkish Spock commented on the presumably accidental Cronenbrugian vagina on the mural wall and the zydeco warriors ... http://www.emptyfree.com/beer/wp-commentsrss2.php?p=39 http://beer.emptyfree.com/index.php?p=38 http://beer.emptyfree.com/index.php?p=38#comments Sat, 04 Mar 2006 21:29:54 +0000 General beer http://beer.emptyfree.com/index.php?p=38 Thank you Mike Martin for turning my feelings into something tangible. Splendid. If like me you feel it should be the focal point for your brau shrine you can snag one at Engine House 13. It comes in two flavors, pop and aged, and if you circle it with some patron ... http://www.emptyfree.com/beer/wp-commentsrss2.php?p=38 http://beer.emptyfree.com/index.php?p=37 http://beer.emptyfree.com/index.php?p=37#comments Fri, 20 Jan 2006 02:45:51 +0000 General http://beer.emptyfree.com/index.php?p=37 Hi. I'm Joe and I love beer. I love homebrewing. I love alcohol. More importantly I love Pop music especially top 40 bubble gum pop. One of those statements is false. You guess which one is not like the others. My goals for 2006? 1) learn ... http://www.emptyfree.com/beer/wp-commentsrss2.php?p=37 http://beer.emptyfree.com/index.php?p=36 http://beer.emptyfree.com/index.php?p=36#comments Mon, 09 Jan 2006 13:19:12 +0000 beer http://beer.emptyfree.com/index.php?p=36 Perhaps the most honest logo in all of beer is that of Italian brand, Birra Moretti: No girls with big tits. No Clydesdale horses, or zebra-striped referees- just an old European guy staring into his beer like it’s the one good thing left in his life. I look at him and I ... http://www.emptyfree.com/beer/wp-commentsrss2.php?p=36 http://beer.emptyfree.com/index.php?p=35 http://beer.emptyfree.com/index.php?p=35#comments Sat, 07 Jan 2006 16:15:50 +0000 spirits http://beer.emptyfree.com/index.php?p=35 A while back, the missus had a recipe that required half a bottle of vermouth. We went to Jewel, and on that particular day, Vermouth was the only alcohol we purchased during that visit. So, I was a little amused that Jewel carded me for purchasing Vermouth. I mean, yeah, I ... http://www.emptyfree.com/beer/wp-commentsrss2.php?p=35 http://beer.emptyfree.com/index.php?p=34 http://beer.emptyfree.com/index.php?p=34#comments Tue, 03 Jan 2006 13:17:46 +0000 General http://beer.emptyfree.com/index.php?p=34 I’ve been infatuated with the “Seattle Manhattan” lately. I found the recipe on a tag on the bottle of the Starbucks Coffee Liqueur that I bought last March. I tried it on a whim a few months ago, and ended up liking it. The recipe is: 1 part Knob Creek bourbon 1/2 part ... http://www.emptyfree.com/beer/wp-commentsrss2.php?p=34
