Punk Dog Wine


It turns out that I'm going to be able start selling this wine pretty soon. Punk Dog seems like it's run by awesome people, and I can't wait to taste what they've done. I love their attitude and I think it will resonate with people around here even people who say they don't "know" anything about wine.

How To Tap a Keg


I found this on the Virginia Eagle website and think everyone in the world should watch it so they're not caught wanting when they come across a keg that needs tapping. Many people just throw up their hands because they're afraid it's difficult or that the thing is going to explode on them or something.

It's actually quite easy. Watch this video and find out how easy it really is.

Plus, a lot of people just don't know how to pour a pint. I don't understand this. I have personally shown countless people how to do it, and again, it's not very difficult. People are afraid they'll do it all wrong for some reason. You can do it!

New Job. New Adventure.

I haven't been active online as much these days because I have been learning the ropes at my new job, Brand Development Manager for Virginia Eagle. It's an exciting windfall in my career in the Beverage Industry.

As most of you know, I'm intensely interested in all beverages, and this new position will give me the chance to be on the front lines helping to make or break different brands as the emerge in beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages.

There are many perks to the job, obviously.

I'll still be posting about poetry and art and entertainment and fast cars and all sorts of things that I think are important in our culture, but you're going to start to see this space also serve as sounding board for me to share some of the adventures I'll be having in this incredibly dynamic world of drink.

Here's to new adventures and new worlds to conquer.
Cheers!
