One man’s quest for good beer…a pint at a time! I’m a big kid at heart, but this month I don’t have to grow up, I get to GROWL UP! That’s right the DC government has changed the law to permit bars, grocery stores, brewpubs, or liquor stores to fill up jugs to 64 ounces… read more »

Greetings my Grog Guzzling Groganites! This month I got goosed! Twice actually. No, literally. The first time it was St. Patrick’s Day and I was enjoying a tasty Guinness when a three foot tall 87 year old silver fox decked in green face paint and horn rim glasses reached over and took the back of… read more »

Holy Moly my beer buddies!  I’m writing you from the depths of a beer tasting binge that, thanks to a little liquid courage has landed me both on crutches and with a super hot sexy  Charlize Theron look-a-like date this Friday (this is your shout out Lauren—hopefully I haven’t blown it yet)—and while I can’t… read more »

Happy 10th anniversary RFD! Yes, 10 years ago Regional Food and Drink Washington, or RFD as the locals call it, (810 7th St. NW, DC; 202-289-2030; www.lovethebeer.com) opened in downtown next to the Verizon Center and has been a pivotal beer cornucopia and pre-hockey/NBA/concert/Downtown meet-up spot ever since. This month I grabbed my bestie and… read more »

I did it, again. Ridiculous Nicholas tip #143 for the holidays: when someone offers you copious amounts of cinnamon flavored whiskey at the bar to celebrate “the season,” just say (HELL) NO!  The writer Bukowski once wrote, “It began as a mistake.” Well, kiddos, it began with a shot of fireball—and here I sit with… read more »

Ho, Ho, Holy hangover hop heads! ‘Tis the season to get sloppy! I’m writing you after a rock star night of drinking and debauchery with my bestie and photographer Sonia, post-Of Monsters and Men concert at 9:30 Club. It was, for lack of a better word, awesome and my liver hates me…seriously, I woke up… read more »

Greetings my little Beer Bombardiers!  I’m writing this from the heart of hurricane Sandy.  Yes, from my makeshift storm center/pillow fort on my couch, decked in rain galoshes, sweats and a Slayer hoodie I am documenting all the beer action this month and praying I finish this article before we lose power.  I feel more… read more »

What makes a Happy Hour so happy my little beer guzzling babushkas? Is it the low priced frou-frou drinks and fanciful apps? Or is it simply because the work day is over and it’s time to get your proverbial swerve on with your fellow co-workers. Yes, here at Happy Hour you can communally vent about… read more »

Greetings my little beerdos! I, Nickodemus, master of the barstool and great elevator of the beer buzz recently moved away from the bright city lights and synchronized stabbings of NE, DC to the quiet suburban corners of northern Arlington. While I must say I miss my old ‘hood and all the constant stuff to do,… read more »

Greetings my little beer soaked hooligans! It’s time for another edition of beer hunter and this month I shouted at the moon, with C. L. Smooths and copious amounts of fireworks at hand. Luckily I didn’t blast off any of my fingers. I did, however, make it over to Mad Fox Brewery (444 W. Broad… read more »
