After a serious illness, I'm back. Hope you HBTers are well! It's good to be alive, innit?
Here's another installment of my Estranged Brew Review, if you please:
Estranged Brew Review: Bud Light Lime’s Lime-A-Rita
Hint: The beer snob in me was not very impressed!
A buddy of mine just brought over a homebrewed chocolate stout....I was skeptical, but it's pretty damn good. Just the right amount of chocolate tones in a perfect stout!
In fact, I drank it (along with the last of my 2009 Scotch Ale) while writing about The Feelies' debut Crazy Rhythms. One...

(I'm about to start a robust Porter this weekend...but that's for the regular Forum!)
Here I go again, but not on my own. Patrick and Jay take a break from homebrew to drink whisky and talk about our proper love for the vinyl format.
Slainte!
Ha! You got me, jspence1! Hey, I *do* have a nice homebrew in hand!

Here's my latest review: a shorty previewing two tracks off of Spirits of the Dead's self-titled album from late 2009. Check the review out! It's a must-have album for fans of Wolfmother, Zeppelin, Sabbath, Rush, and other new- and old-school heavy-blues-rock greats!
