Oh snaps.

Welcome to the internets. Where most of you spend countless hours during the week. We get paid to sit in front of the computer and pretend to do work, but really, we're finding out what Lindsay Lohan had for breakfast and googling awkward pictures of cats. Here's a toast (a blog toast because drinking is NOT allowed during work...) to all of you 40 hours a week craftsmen. Because let's be honest, we are all craftsmen. Do you know how hard it is to quickly exit a facebook browser?

Beer and Food Pairing for the Holidays


It's that time of year-parties are being thrown, food is being prepared and people are getting drunk. Sam Calagione, founder of Dogfish Head Brewery, wrote an article for the Huffington post on the best holiday beer & food pairings.

Personally, I'm a big wine drinker, but I know many out there prefer a nice beer. I'm partial to a beer here and there, myself, and Calagione nails it on the head with his pairings. But, readers beware, this guy is talkin' about nice beer. For the holidays, put that Natty Light down and treat yourself to something a little more refined.

You can read HERE why beer often makes a better partner for cheese, or what the best beer to pair chocolate with is, and so on. If you like his suggestions, you can check out more of his beer-savvy advice on the related links.

Cheers!
