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...

Awesome! RIP, maaaaaan.

Thanks for the info and perspective. A wort chiller will be part of my new system that includes kegging and some other tweaks to cut time and improve efficiency. Any recommendations on where I can get a cheap chiller? I'm open to making my own but would like to see how cheap I can get a good...

Very cool. Thanks, Dr. Karma! Just spent a Saturday grilling steaks and drinking homebrew. Life is good. Here's a new post--non-musical this time: Golden Girl Gone Wild: Hot Betty-White-on-SNL Action!

Here are a few new posts that you music-loving brewmeisters might enjoy: Jay Presents: A Quick One (Rolling Stones, 13th Floor Elevators single reviews) Dirty Deeds Undone: An AC/DC Concert (Un)Review By Proxy Moby Grape Live: Listen, My Friends... Finally started my second Porter! Kegging...

Check out this hilarious post over at theoatmeal.com. It's called "Twenty Things Worth Knowing About Beer." Also, since I bet some of you love Neil Young as much as I do, check out this review of Zuma over at The Brown Tweed Society. Happy (Nearly) Friday! Harmon / Jay

I may not have known him personally, but I feel like I did. I can see he was a friend of mine in his way. RIP, Alex Chilton (Box Tops, Big Star, producer of The Cramps, inspiration to thousands of musicians). :(

Jay St. Orts gives The Byrds a flyover....

Looking for a good time, sugar? Join Jay and The Ramones at 53rd & 3rd. :rockin:

Boioioioioioing! Spring is (almost) here! Swing into it with Benny Goodman and Jay over at The Brown Tweed Society! (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! I post here because it seems like a nice place to post OT stuff. I didn't see a thread dedicated to music, but I know my fellow homebrewers like music, so I posted here. If there's a better place for it, let me know! Also...

How are you sure that I'm not at least two sheets to the wind right now?

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! Check it out and let me...

As Music Critic! News at 11! In addition to writing articles about homebrewing for The Brown Tweed Society and other publications, I also write music reviews. I'd be honored if some of my fellow and lady brewers read my scribbles! Some examples: Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan (The Original...

I'll be looking for some of these! That Norsk porter sounds intriguing!

Hopefully, my home-brewed porter will do 'em justice. Also ran: Michelob's Porter. Right taste, if not right mouthfeel. Good price. Please don't hate me for liking it!
