From 7th grade through 12th I went to a prep school where I wore a necktie, every, single, day. Part of this, I assumed, or maybe I was told, was to prepare me for the professional world where I’d wear neckties daily. Fast forward to today and I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve worn a necktie in the last three years. A ...

Hello all! I hope this summer has treated you well. When it comes to local craft beer, our friends-in-beer have certainly taken great care of us. Without looking, I know that in my beer fridge right now is beer from Next Level, Clinch River, Albright Grove, Xul, and Elst and that’s just what I can remember as I type, but that’s n ...

If there were ever a beer named with me in mind, here it is. Those that know me have often heard me regale of the importance of both honoring and observing #TacoTuesday. In the days of old when we would travel for work, a Tuesday on the road meant finding the local taco spot, diving in, and sending photo evidence home so that my girls knew that ...

Howdy beer fans! As I write this, the sun is shining, the warm embrace from our closest star greeted us all. It was a wonderful respite during these chilly days. While I enjoy the seasonal winter beers, bring on spring! Up on deck today is a fun NEIPA from Bearden Brewhouse. It’s hard to believe that one of our very first posts 10 ...

Well gang, earlier today the world learned that the 2021 Tennessee Winter Beer Fest was canceled. Being as we’re a part of that board, I can tell you that it was not taken lightly by the group. We’re certainly living through some challenging times. However, those we surround ourselves make all the difference. We’ve got an incr ...

Hey gang, Happy Thanksgiving! Wow, what a year. I know we’re all feeling it as I’m sure holiday plans are different than years past. However, I hope everyone can raise a glass and reflect on what you are thankful for. Speaking of thankful, a few weeks back the Brewer’s Association announced this year’s Small Brew ...

Howdy beer fans! While things are certainly still weird right now, I have tried to make an effort on the weekends to stop by 2-3 local spots and grab beer for the week. This has been fun as I usually run into a few of y’all, we catch up for a minute – in real life – and then I have some fun local beer to enjoy throughout th ...

It has been roughly three months since I’ve written anything on KnoxBeerSnobs. Not long ago I heard a friend, on a conference call, say that it’s okay to say that you’re not okay. Perhaps I’ve been stuck in that “not okay” place. Let’s be honest, this suspended reality is tough, it’s different and ...

We all like pleasant surprises. It doesn’t seem like all that long ago that I wouldn’t give a lager a second glance. Then, a number of lagers from craft breweries that I knew and trusted entered the market. Before I knew it, there were multiple lagers sitting among the IPAs, stouts and saisons in the old beer fridge. While a cream a ...

I’ll readily admit that I pay attention to what I’m consuming. That’s not to say I won’t eat a burger, pizza or drink some really good beer. However, I regularly work out six times a week, and watch what I eat. There was a point in time I was a much bigger guy than I am now. I have no intention to return to that state. M ...
