Dia Dhuit!  A thought for all of ye' out there:  shouldn't imperial beers be served in imperial pint glasses?  That's what they're named after, right? Heh heh heh...

   Dia Dhuit, my brutes!  I know ye’ve all missed me.  I’d dearly like to say I’ve missed ye’ all, as well, but I’ve been much too busy to miss much more than breathing.

   So let’s get on to the rant, shall we?  I’d like to illustrate my current slant with a story.  A parable, if you will, based on a true story.  Imagine, if you will – and if you don’t want to, why the hells are you still reading – a young man standing at the...

Dia Dhuit, my brutes!  A happy fathers' day to you all, regardless of the genetalia between your thighs.  While this won't be a blog about fathers at all, I'm simply throwing this in because I had the urge to write, but I'm not going to do my usual grammar/spelling/puncuation checking... the wee one will be up soon and then it's a morning o' fatherly fun.

As craft beer enthusiasts...
