Yes. Yes. Yes. Piney River has wound its way to Kansas City. My in-laws live in Lebanon, Missouri. About an hour’s drive up I-44 from Springfield. Though, in craft beer terms, it might as well be among the sand dunes of the Sahara rather than the rolling hills of the Ozarks. Though, there was one oasis on Route 66. One gleaming beac ...

Let’s have another Deschutes Black Butte Porter. And another. #allforthecity A lovely October evening is winding down and I’m settling in to watch some playoff soccer. October means Fall, the season in which everyone’s stuffing their eatables and drinkables with pumpkin spice. Which means I’m recoiling in horror ...

Photo courtesy of Miami Creek Brewing. I sat across from Will Reece at a smokey table on a rough wood deck at Woodyard Bar-be-que in Kansas City, Kansas. Under the trees, near the smoke, and on some rustic wood furniture was a perfect setting for discussing his new brewery opening quite far away from KCK. But somewhat nea ...

Well, here we go, Debate Night #3. A quiet Wednesday night at home spoiled by two people arguing on 10 different channels and the only cure is sweet sweet alcohol. Whether you are rooting for the orange-skinned megalomaniac or the robot in a pantsuit, there are only two things we can agree on – your candidate sucks and mine is a les ...

I can promise you that I don’t own Ugg boots and I’ve never had a pumpkin spice latte, so rest assured, this is coming from a non-biased place. All joking aside, I w ...

Stolen without permission from the Red Crow Facebook page. All our little breweries are getting so old. Red Crow Brewing in Spring Hill, KS has been around for a year now. And they aren’t messing around celebrating. Beer Scout Brie paid a visit to Red Crow Brewing – about 10 miles south of Olathe – back in Decembe ...

This Beer of the Week review was brought to you by the vice presidential debate on Tuesday. If there was going to be weeknight drinking, it was going to be that night. On Tuesday evening, the only beers we had in the fridge were a couple different Oktoberfests, and while I love a good German-style fest bier, it just didn’t seem ...

You know that feeling you get every once in a while where it seems like someone is reading your mind? Where someone knew exactly what you wanted and you can’t figure out how they knew? Over the last few months, I’ve learned to accept the fact that Crane Brewing out of Raytown, Missouri apparently employs psychics along with th ...

There are beliefs I hold of which no argument can dissuade me: Queen is the greatest band of all time Dogs are far superior to cats (and children) No restaurant is worth a 30 minute wait Receipts for a transaction under $5 should be illegal Old Milwaukee is the best bad beer I have not tried every bad beer.
