CRYSTAL METH FOR HOP-HEADS
On a recent trip to Northern California, on a beautiful cloudless August day, something fortuitous happened. A small pit stop from Highway 101 would turn out to be one of the most glorious moments of my beer-loving career… for what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a modest little sign acknowledging the presence of Lagunitas Brewing Company, in a non-descript industrial park. After a peek around the corner of the building, we soon found out that yes, it was THAT Lagunitas Brewing Company… the men and women responsible for single-handedly crushing any reason to ever drink shitty beer again. The laid back staff opened their arms to my family and I, and showed us around the bar that they were building on their ‘campus’, one that I sorely wished would have opened two weeks sooner. Regardless, on that August day, I got to see the birthplace of some of my favorite beers.

 Earth, pictured above, is an image from his Make Something Cool Every Day project, which took place from March 2008, to December, 2009. Other works that I’ve favorited by him include 1935, Cash, and Untitled (pictured to the right). If you are a fan of Weaver’s illustrations, check out his online shop to order postcards and screen prints. +Continue Reading |

What would you say if Brasky were to tell you that there exists a beer, made right here in America, that was nearly ten percent alcohol, came in a corked 750 ml glass, was made from 2% cherries, and sold for eight bucks or so at most respectable beer vendors? Well, if you were as epic as you think you are, you would say ‘Dude, I love Three Philosophers!’
Ommegang Brewery in Cooperstown, New York, continues to bring Belgian beer-geekery stateside. Three Philosophers is an intense brew, dark red in color, and almost indescribable in flavor. At 9.8 percent alcohol, it is not for the weak of heart, or rather for meek beer drinkers. Yet it contains some affable quality that could just win over even the staunchest of swill-lovers… the lingering aroma of cherries and the identifiable sparkle of alcohol make this a crisp, flavorful brew. The official designation is a quadruple-bock, although this beer almost runs over into the ‘unique’ category.

UPDATE – Anyone in Florida knows it has been cold (as fuck) for the last few weeks, with some all-time lows being endured. It’s warming up now (Florida winter = 2 weeks), but please enjoy Aaron’s rant.
It’s a well-worn cliche… it just doesn’t get cold in Florida. Florida is just one big sunny beach with Cubans walking around handing out free Dos Equis and cigars to people partying on skyscraper rooftops at 8:30 AM on a Tuesday morning in February. Pop punk bands write songs about how Floridians are so deprived of the splendor of quiet snowfall. Tourists (aka snowbirds) come from around the world to experience the mild winter and shovel out their hard earned money for a go on Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, but I’ve got news for them, for you, and for the nasally singer guy from New Found Glory: it gets cold in Florida. In fact, it is cold as FUCK right now.

Mark our words: 2010 will be the year of the stream. Music stream services are emerging every month, busy negotiating agreements that keep their inventories growing.
With services like Pandora, imeem, Spotify, LaLa, and Grooveshark breaking onto the scene, it’s becoming increasingly easy to find music online.
Ever wonder why you can’t just “record” the music as it comes in? Well, you can. Here’s how.
Capturing Streams
Turns out there are many programs out there that can do this; some are better than others. I recommend WonderShare’s Streaming Audio Recorder. After you’ve hit record it will automatically detect when the song starts playing (if it isn’t already), and also detects when it ends. This actually allows you to set it to record and it will neatly rip each song on a stream playlist.
