The Craft Beer Curmudgeon
@ The Pub With The Beer Whisperer Here we are again, another year, another beer. So, what’s next for craft beer? What will be the next big trend? Is there anything left to do? I mean, haven’t we covered about everything? Current beer styles barely resemble beer, and then there’s the seltzer craze, don’t get
Beer Today, Gone Tomorrow …
The Hope of 2020 …it was a new year … Yes, it was a new year full of hope. Little did we know. We were young and foolish, okay, maybe not so young. There we were, it was a new year, we were going to breweries, taprooms, bars, taverns, saloons, speakeasys, illegal underground fight clubs.
New Year’s Eve and the Social Distance …
Howdy Doo Buckaroos and How The Heck Are You? Well, the year is winding down and it has been an interesting one to say the least. We’ve been asked to wear a mask and social distance, but I’ve become convinced that Americans are O.D.D. We seem incapable of following directions or using a modicum of
Beer And The Extroverted Loner!
I initially had the idea for this article about a week before the viral shit hit the fan. Then I was furloughed from work, then day drinking, social media and Zoom ensued, and then I went back to work and now here we are! I like people, sometimes. I’m social, sometimes. I haven’t been accused
I Hate To Burst Your Bubble!
It seems that every time a craft brewery closes, all of the Chicken Little’s scream that the sky is falling. They’re sure that there’s an imaginary bubble that’s going to burst.

Sittin’ On This Bar Stool, Talkin’ Like A Damn Fool!
Howdy Doo Buckaroos and how the heck are you? Yes, I did “Borrow” the title from Styx, “Too Much Time On My Hands”, for the other beer/music geeks out there. But … That’s what we did. We went to the bar, met friends, had a few drinks, and we’d shoot the shit. Anyway … I’m

WordPress “updated”, supposedly to make it easier, however, it just confused the snot out of
It’s A Good Day For A Beer!
It’s a cold, drizzly, freezing rain, sleet and snow kind of day in the Ozarks as I write this article. Home from work, dinner cooked and eaten and it’s just bbbrrr outside. So, now in my comfy and warm jammies, watching the boob tube with the ol‘ ball and chain(don’t tell her I said that),
A Shot And A Beer!
Or more aptly titled, a nice whiskey served neat alongside a fine beer. I Am The Beer Whisperer, Beervangelist, Prolific Beer Drinker, Purveyor Of Wisdom and … All Around Good Guy! However, I’m also the Whiskey Whisperer. Sometimes my alter egos duke it out, but sometimes they’re simpatico and hold hands around the campfire singing,
The 12 Beers Of Christmas!
The 12 Beers Of Christmas! On the 1st Beer Of Christmas, My True Love Gave To Me … Okay, I did steal the idea for this months feature from the song, you probably figured that out, but it was the inspiration. So, the idea is to talk about 12 beers that I feel represent
